Did anyone do the 2009 independent sc trial exam for science? (The paper with a stupid question on a mythical story of Daedalus and Icarus flying with wings). If so, what did you think of it? easy? hard?

yeah the recrystallisation questions were hard. u had to say how many grams of each chemical dissolved, which wasn't clear in the question. every1 at my school said the exam was hard. harder than the real sc past papers.

Came out of exam thinking what I usually think about science- slog but not too hard. Our teachers marked that paper so ruthlessly. Top mark from the whole grade was 81% then 77% or something. And these are people that are good at science.

Hey yeah I did it, I thought it was relatively easy, although we got a weird science exam for our trial. It focused more on skills than knowledge, which really let our grade down!

+1 absolutely... I only just passed that whole exam with 63%.. i found it so difficult.. And that Greek mythology question was so stupid...
I hope the actual SC science exam won't be like that.

you'll definitely get at least band 5... I could say around 82-83?

for me I'd be looking around 78 with my raw mark of 62 but actual school cert is easier.
