Whol else thought the Industrial Chem questions were crap? (1 Viewer)

[L45er]

well if it gets you marks...

Fingers crossed! Heh, its worked every other time, and its what assess means - "state points for and against and make a judgement"

but chem should be more than that, l45er...its sooo much more...this was a wanky piece of shit exam that din even come close to what chem should be

and its what assess means - "state points for and against and make a judgement"

Yeah i did just that (thank god ), except I did it in sentences instead of dot points, and I had a small conclusion for each site. Does that make it less or more wanky ?

more definitely more wanky...but then again...this chem paper WAS wanky

what was with the whole exam? it was really shit. I felt as though I didn't get tested properly.... what I mean by that is that they didn't ask questions that REALLY test your knowledge instead of how much crap you can memorise. Saying that, I went really crap. That seven marker was just stupid.... i have never bullshitted so much in my life. I thought they would ask proper questions about electrolysis or the solvay process, but they didn't. Hairdressing, here I come.

Dont worry I completely agree with you... I got 87% for the cssa trial paper and I reckon im looking at low 70's for this. I studied all the chemical equations for the solvay process but they had to put a 7 marker on the only dot point i skipped. gr8

didnt do it hehe

shipwrecks was pretty good but

just to piss ya off

scruffy

Wow. No Solvay. No Frasch. Just...Wow. It was so...uninspired!

 

[bloodysunday]

i reckon ay, it wasnt industrial chemistry - it was a bit of lab chemistry, some geography and some food studies lol!

i repeated chem this year. must agree that this year's paper was gayer than last year. i just dint appreciate in tha ind chem question how i had to write sooo many fkn pages. btw, who elz gets anxiety when they do tha multiple choice questions in pen? i realllly hate that. I think for like a gud 25 minutes my heart was beating so bad coz i was freakn out coz of the whole havn to use pen for multiple choice... its just not done!

i think moral of the story is......board of studies dont know shit

 

[sub]

tru dat mate...they should learn their own course b4 they make us do these shit exams!!!

I'm sorry, but that is the best idea ever. Give them some of their own damn medicine.

It was a good paper.
Yes there was a lot of memorisation but it doesn't make it a crap paper.
They all relate to chemistry.

For example,
You're meant to know all your experiments so the emulsion one is a valid question.

You should know the production of sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide in details. If you know them well you can work out the locating the industrial plants one.
Sodium carbonate is produced using Solvay process and the syllabus specifically mention Solvay process in the related dot point.
Although it doesn't mention NaOH, there is another dot point where you need to assess the technical and environmental difficulties of the diaphragm, membrane and mercury processes. You can use this to appropriately select the location of the plants.

every 1 in my calss knew the locating plant qestion we were all writing essay for it, 3 to 4 pages,
