The exam was OK. Emphasis on "OK".
A lot of the Lifestyle Chemistry syllabus was squished into a single 8 mark question, and I felt that they should have dispersed it a lot more, as there was a hell-of-a-lot of focus on Medical Technology + Bionics.
The last question on the Pharmaceuticals option topic worth 7 marks was bullshit and completely threw me off, it asked for an analysis of 2 scientists and to my recollection we only covered Alexander Flemming (who I referred to as Louis Pasteur and realized the SECOND I walked out), so I had to wing it for the second :(
Overall it wasn't too bad, though... still regret choosing the subject though.

It was b, from what i can remember it was because med C wouldnt dissolve 5mg before the time limit or degrees w/e so c is out... then from the table, a was wrong because it was dissolved in the small intestine which is after medication b which was dissolved in acidic conditions in the stomach... answers b

I thought the paper wasn't that bad, hopefully 8/8 for the big marker.
What did you guys think of the last question?

hoping for 8/8 for long response and 7/7 for pharm. option
Hopefully 100 or close too, otherwise very unhappy.

Maybe some lost in m/c but thats all that was hardish.

Very easy and enjoyable exam. Finished with over an hour and a half remaining because I felt I knew everything. Disasters option was very easy and the 7 marker for it could have been answered by anyone :)
