overall i liked the exam!
preety easy in terms of long response (5marks+) i was expecting something to do with CGSLEW and something to do with volcanic impacts on climate, also the past hsc papers had harder long repsonse questions. I rekon overall it was way easier than trials and trials were so so but i did shit cause i dint read the question and had a cold. but what nearly through me off was:
multiple choice q: a
-bout the stratagraphic sequence since i thought a/b where both right!
-the question about the finch! im not to sure about that one
and the last q which it took me 10 mins to deconstruct about australian natural/earth process! but overall everything was preety gud.
Btw i did introduced species (which looked significacntly easier than the rest.)
Im expecting between 80-90max or higher.

Not too bad actually. n_n I was expecting for way worse, haha. Some of the multi-choice threw me a little and a little guess work here and there. But overall a pretty good paper, short responses were pretty easy to deal with. n_n Oceanography questions were a blessing n_n Really happy with it.

it was different than past exam papers. the question that got me thinking was where you had to draw and label the low and high silica crap
yeah i was like shit i didnt do much on that what did you answer with??

i just put an x labeling it as mid ocean ridge at the bottom left, its close to the x that was originally there
for convergent i placed an x at the upper right of the line cause convergent boundaries have more silica in them
Sick i'm pretty sure i did the same..
I thought A and B were rboth right too, for both stratigraphic range of fossils and the unit name's matched up. i just went B becuase it lined up beter
The finch question stumped me too so I had a crack at C.
That seven marker was so hard to interpret - I just said something about low fertile soils, environmental flows and what not.

Umm, what is that lol?
Yeah it wasn't too bad.
hmm some of the multiple choice were a little weird, for the stratigraphic sequence one I put (a) and the finch one I put (a) as well
what did people do for the first multiple choice question? was it a fold or fault? and also number 3?
As for the 7 marker I just put in a lot of what I knew for caring for the country, it wasn't really specific, so I'm wondering how they will mark it
and yess introduced species was good, loved the 6 marker

well everything but the multiple choice was good!..I'm kinda scared bout the 7 marker though..coz im not sure wat u have to talk about..but then introduced species was easy..should get 20+/25 for that..and the short answers were reasonable to score some marks..wat i hope is..i didnt fail multiple choice!..if thats decent i guess im on a better roll

I thought it was a pretty decent test. Different from other exam papers. The 7 marker was a bit sketchy about ecosystems, im glad i also do geography so i used my knowledge from that as well. Multiple choice was mega bitchy... so many annoying graphs to interpret. Oceanography was great! i hardly knew the whole topic but i could answer all those questions! hopefully will get a band 6

Yeah, totally agree about the multi-choice. I was checking over my answers at the end and was like "well I at least know 8/9 of them are right" most of the others were educated guesses. D: I also did Oceanography, I thought it was brilliant! So thankful for such nice questions! I hardly knew anything about the topic and was so panicked in the morning by all the weird things they could ask, but thankfully they asked nice things.

But yeah, those multiple choice questions were fluttery, especially the stratigraphical sequence one and the finch one. D: Oh well, hopefully some of my guesses were right!
lol Cratons, growth, subduction,lauchlan fold belt (acretiooanry wedges), Erosion, weilding!
dw its ova now no need to worry !
