I did Modern for Independent

Got 95%

I can't rate on its difficulty as I didn't do any modern past papers

(snake incoming)

But if it makes you feel better I feel my teacher marks really easily

I got 90% for Modern from an independent paper.
All my teachers told us prior to trials that we'd get terrible marks but I got over 90% in every subject except one so I was pretty happy (fingers crossed I can repeat this come HSC)
How you guys go?

Well for my Modern exam (my teacher said it was the Independent trial) there was the role of women as the sources for WWI (as the 8 marker).

I did Modern Independent and Legal independent. Legal was alright, as was modern. Although I didn't study for them as well as I should.

I did independent for Phy, Chem, Eng and Bio.
I found the Physics one really hard. Biology was quite a fair exam however I did make few silly mistakes unfortunately.
Chemistry was easy IF you studied. There were some hard questions but nothing impossible
English was also quite easy especially the belonging section.

I have done some CSSA past papers and I personally found them to be more complex then the independent ones. I also though the James Ruse papers were quite hard.

I'd never seen a question like that one before, I think it would have thrown a LOT of people.
lost 1/2 a mark for that question coz instead of setting theta=2pi/3 (as the question asked) I set it equal to pi/3 lol. they won't be so merciful in the hsc.
