No worries, I feel your pain of getting questions wrong!
But in my case, I felt the pain quite a few times...

I know the feeling, like you think you aced it until you realise people put different answers to you and chances are, they are right and you're wrong...
I don't care about my mark, as long as it's a band 6, I will be over the moon!

That's right :)

Anyone else start with the short responses in section 2 (when we got it) rather than MC? I've just started doing that (in every exam) thanks to my math teacher's advice. It takes so much stress away when you finish them and realise how much time you have left for MC :) Rather than starting with MC and trying to write last minute.

I must say... I think this was the best exam! I think I topped it! Well, at least, I felt most confident in this exam than the others. For a math exam I was surprised at how easy it was. Also I only guessed about 4 MC and 4 box responses YAY :)
Yeah I always start with the free response questions in every exam, and that way I don't panic and have time to go over my paper. Soooo happy, that was so much easier than our trial exam! :)

you bet! My trials were my yearly exams! In maths, there were 7 questions (with a b c d, etc) and after an hour, most people were still on Q4. They had to give us an extra 10 minutes. hahaha.

Science was similar, although my yearly was heaps shorter. History and Geography were quite similar as well, and you can't compare English - we had to write two essays. >_>

You got extra time? Wow......I don't think schools are meant to give their students an unfair advantage xD
I reckon all my trials were harder than the real deal except for history.... I thought my history trials were easier than the real deal...
