Multiple choice .... average... there were a few questions i had to guess, probably 3

short answer questions..... most of it was simple.... except...... questions 24,25,26... they adressed my weak points... and lucky enough i forgot how to draw an electrochemical cell... lucky me!!!

the oprtion wasn't even tested .. we only had to answer question 1 worth 3 marks...

in general... i'm happy to say it was better than my half yearly


don't ask what my half yearly mark was... because i will not respond!!! hahaha

I found that in the chem papers, we tend to be given a lot more time than we need as i tend to finish them in around 2hours.
And yea, wtf, OYSTERS?!! i hate oysters now.
I found that this exam tested a lot of my weaker points:(

:(
I guessed 6. It seemed reasonable at the time.
Ive never eaten oysters and have never actually been in their presense, so i couldnt even try to guess depending on how much u usually eat.
But as i think more about it, I'm beginning to think the answer is 1.7 too...

I've tried oysters... only once though

i guessed 0.2 oysters ( mainly because 1mg/L = 1ppm i think, and so 12ppm a day, 200 in each 12/200 = 0.06 oysters, so i put the lowest LOL)

and put that 5000L for last (which works with calculations) they wanted both gases
