lol is that sarcasm?

I also attended the 12:30 session at Birrong. I couldn't help but notice that the test booklet said 2009-2010. So does this mean the test won't change for those doing it in December?

BAHAHAHA 150... yeah because that's real hard - why do they even make you do it.

150 is the scaled mark. The multiple choice test consists of 70 questions

That test was harder than the practice one arg.

:mad1:No, seriously! I think I had put (A) as the answer, something about lateness being subversive or something along the lines of that.

But all in all, I'm not gonna jinx myself, but the articles were definitely interesting reads and most of the analytical questions were fine. Needless to say, I'm gonna fail... like I do with any form of multiple choice based tests.

By the way, I found it intimidating that many individuals fled the test centre 0.5 ~ 1 hour before the end of the exam...

lol I also put (A). "Lateness is systematic" i think it was. I also found the articles to be intriguing. I was confuzzled by the questions based on that article about society :mad1:

I think it's quite narrow-minded of ACER to include what could only be defined as comprehension questions. Though the articles were great reads, they held a philosophical element which prompted greater analysis, on the metaphoric level. My main problem is that I consider most of the options available for these types of questions to be valid - consider this with English - metaphorical readings do not have a distinct concept/opinion, but rather, it is open to interpretation. Thus it would've been considerably better, well... towards my betterment anyway, if they removed all forms of literary comprehension questions, or replace them with short answer ones.

I wish... I get crucified all the time for writing airy-fairy responses.

I'd be a happy man if my STAT mark ends up being one point above the cut-off for BPharm.

I finished the test on the dot. >< Did anyone finish earlier?

i finished with half a minute to spare

5233andy · May 24, 2009

Yeah, with reference to my earlier post, I found it awfully strange that many individuals finished and decided to leave half an hour before the end of the exam. Or maybe it's just me being intellectually handicapped.

q3thefish · May 25, 2009

Lolz I know aye? Dude. I was ahead of time for the first 35 Q. with quite a bit of time left under my belt and BAM! People started to leave waaaay earlier than the majority. Pretty crazy how some people can finish it that quickly or mayb I'm just intellectually retarded.

Meh, I heard we're gonna get our results in 2 weeks time. Is this true?

No way???!!! are you serious? *sigh*, and I was looking forward to forgeting the whole ordeal, or at least putting it to the back of my mind for a few months.

I finished the test in an hour and ten minutes, checked and then left 15 minutes before.

i raced through it because i was getting really tired and feeling dizzy, so i didn't bother thinking too deeply and considering my answers. hopefully, i still did ok...

now i need to brace myself for the possibility that the results will come in 2 weeks....

not really. people around me were leaving after an hour. but i guess, telling you won't make you feel better...

i wasn't so nervous since i don't really think i want to do pharmacy, so i didn't have that "OMGitsgoingtodeterminethecourseofmywholelife" pressure to do well. though, i really want to pass

how many people who've done the stat are actually seriously planning to do pharmacy, and not as fallback, or as a "i'm-kinda-considering-but-not-really-sure" thing?

XD true. but then again, i still took the test seriously and did the best i could.
Plus, even if I did finish the test like one hour early (i wish), the examiners said you're only allowed to leave in the last ten minutes. i went to 12:30 birrong btw

eriito · May 25, 2009

i'm pretty sure they would have said you ARENT allowed to leave in the last 10 minutes
