We did trials with all of our yearlys last term, though we've now done a separate 5.1 maths trial and we're about to do a geography one.
Maths 5.1- 60-something/100
Holy crap this was hard. I do 5.3 maths and am around top of our class, but I was stumped with a lot of these questions, and it seems everyone else was as well. Was the test with the 2:3 cows pig ratio thing that someone mentioned before.
Science- 73/~86
Not sure if any of you guys did this one, I think our teachers set it. In the short answer questions you had to answer things about oil and V=IR. Came second, had pretty difficult multiple choice and insane written answers at the end of it. Who here knows what an axon is off he top of their head?
English- ~90%
Not enough time for writing at the end! I hate how you have to come up with and write an interesting narrative all in the space of 40 mins. If anyone had the one with the narrative on celebrating difference, this was it.
History- 47/50
Aced this, as per usual with all history tests. I know for sure that we bought this test, it had the stuff up sources multiple choice question and a long response on changes in technology in a chosen decade.
Geography- 37/50
Came first believe it or not. The multiple choice was completely bull, vague and stupid questions, only got 15/20. The long responses were written by our teachers, and I think I did reasonably well here.
Btw did anyone do this year's History and Geography NSW competitions? Post your results.
Geography- 43/50
History- 47/50
(same as everyone else.... stupid endocrine and ecosystem in short answers :'(
