Mine will. Have you guys noticed that a lot of the questions they ask pretty much ask you to explain your whole knowledge of a very broad subject. ie, "Identify information technology (hardware, software and communications) that would be required to support this website"

This question from the 2003 HSC IPT paper pretty much asks you to sum up everything there is about running a website. *sigh*, I hope I write fast enough in the exam.

I'm hoping that the big markers thsi year will be mainly storyboards adn DFD's, to reduce the load of writing.

I feel more for the modern history students though - 3 hours of pure essay writing is unbelievably tough on the hands :(

I also have chemistry the next day, and then physics on the friday! 3 hard subjects in 1 week. I do feel sorry for people that do Ancient History and IPT though!

MINE. I think I have ancient history before it too :(
OUCH!! Good luck :S

Yeah my hand will be sore after IPT - it always is after 3 hours of writing. But at least one saving grace is that there's no extended responses. I'd much prefer a few 6-markers than some 20-markers.
