Test wasn't that bad. I was able to complete it, although I thought it was a bit long. However I didn't check my answers very well :(

The Greatest Test Ever

That was without a doubt the easiest test i have ever done!
Please dont think that is arrogance and vanity but i dont do much tests...lol

Anyway after 4u...this test was a breath of fresh air, a cool breeze on a summers day, something completely out of the ordinary and unnatural, which was symbolic of the oil spill imagery and the common motif of man made projectiles....wait english is DEAD! sorry force of habit.

But with any luck i will get 80/84 had time management problems, that and only 3 hours sleep.

Only the 3 sciences left for me....o crap BIO tomoro....i must flee!!!!!

You guys Just made my day (turn into a nightmare!!)

OMG, you guys are making me feel like shit!

i left out approx 30% of marks, left 15 mins early and i was proud, thinking that i will get my 60% raw mark scaled to a near-80.

it seems like the 4-uniters flogged me. maybe i should have done 4 unit (i did want to do it, but i only realised at the end of term 2, which was a little too late :) )

oh well, my friend assured me of a near 80 if NSW is slightly dumber than usual this year, and i calculated an aligned mark of 60 on the SAM, so i will be right either way...

EDIT: i got bio too, so i guess ill have to show my worth against u guys tom

As above....LoL
I went better in questions 5 6 and 7 than I did in questions 1 2 3 and 4....
Because for the earlier questions you need to remember stuff, and i have the worst memory of anyone i know, but the later questions you just need to understand it and you can figure it out.
Im weird

i found the paper kinda lengthy, as i only had like 20mins to do question 6 and 7. anyone else thought the questions were long?
yeh, i do ext. 2, and normally wen i look at question 1 of past papers, i start laughing, cos i reckon i could do it in about 2 minutes. This time it took me 7 minutes. i could understand when i was doing the paper that the 3 u guys would find it harder than past years. But thats good for me i guess, figured most of it out. lookin at ~79/84, if no stupid mistakes. Pleased with that. :)
