Not quite what I was expecting, there was a lack of questions on the periodic table and experimental procedure. Hoping I did alright, I liked the last question, yay essay writing. A fair exam.

Current won't suffice because there are many types of currents. You should've just put "Convection," which was what I did. Though I'm not sure whether Convection Currents was the right answer ^_^"

Overall, it was pretty easy. I'm aiming for 95+ as well :D

It was easy. Really easy.

It was so amusing when one of the supervisors from Board of Studies' phone went off during our exam. They keep on telling us that phones going off will have serious consequences. Does that include their own phones?

I hated the waiting bit. I finished early with about an hour left -- checked all papers and added stuff, made sure all the response questions are full and covered all the points I think would give me marks and I still had 50 mins to spare. It was so boring and I couldn't sleep through it either.

It's a good thing I didn't stress about it I guess. Would've been a waste of time.

I put Z as the uterus.

As for the property of light occuring at b in the short response, I just put reflection. I think that's all they needed to know anyway. :S

Rofl!! The exact same thing happened to me, I put uterus wall lining?

Sweet thats what I wrote, that was the only one I found kind of difficult

I just put reflection it was simpler and I don't think that they were expecting you to answer in such detail as to put TIR. But you might get it right, if the computer that marks it isn't dumb...

Overal I was very pleased and I found it quite easy.

Btw, in case anyone gets confused, the uterus and the womb are the exact same thing. "Uterus" is just the Latin name of saying "womb".

FUCK YES I got Convection, Reflection and Indicator.

Z was the womb.
Bullseye, although I bullshitted most of my definitions for things I had not studied before the half yearlies.

It was easy. Really easy.

Bah they told us we couldn't go early but changed their minds mid exam and 3/4 of the people left. I left about 20 minutes early as I couldn't be bothered checking.

Mmm I had no idea so I thought it was UV, visible and IR...
