CSSA VS Independant 2009 (1 Viewer)

[bayan92]

Is it just me or was the Independent Paper really crap??

It has the WEIRDEST questions that you would NEVER see in the HSC.

The only good question I saw was the one about bromine water and its suitability.

On the other hand CSSA seemed to have more HSC like questions that were not too easy but not very difficult either. It lacked a 7 mark question and seemed very generic.

Agreed although I haven't been able to get my hands on the CSSA paper.

I did the Chemistry Independent paper and just got slammed. 73.5/100

I did the Independant for my trial. I thought it strayed from the syllabus a bit but i still managed 91.

As for the CSSA it stuck to the syllabus pretty tight, so I guess were more hsc-style questions.

Chemistry Independent was shithouse and very wtf.

Omg jack your going to hammer it.

For Independent and Catholic - do individual schools mark it? Or does it get sent to a centre (just like HSC).

Individual schools mostly but I heard Parramatta Marist got external markers.

Independent papers annoy me because they have some really unrealistic questions and some multiple choice questions are wrong e.g. water does not have a covalent bond >.>

But yeah, most schools mark their own CSSA or independent papers

Independent is horrible >_>;;

I'm pretty sure it has two. One between each O-H bond within the molecule.

She just forgot to add the word 'coordinate' before covalent.

The Independant PDHPE paper was a little bizarre. I'm talking about the Core 1 question about the Ottawa Charter.
Not many people were pleased.
