was it hard?

 

[hsc2k17]

was it hard?

the paper was very different compared to the other years tbh, it was somewhat more difficult

 

[erwan]

Yeah I'd agree, I found trials better than this paper..

 

[danshea00]

It didn't seem that bad to me. I finished about an hour early.
The trial was WAY worse for me.

The past exams were much easier. Finished early but doesn't mean it was a breeze. The question about medical techniques improving our understanding made me mind blank so much. Past papers asked how our understanding has improved medical techniques so that was, yeah.

 

[danshea00]

Yeah I thought that question was weird...
Medical techniques don't contribute to our understanding. Our understanding contributes to medical techniques.
I wrote about thermography for the non-invasive one (using it to measure heat in experiments), and keyhole surgery for the minimally invasive one.
I was pretty happy that there were no 8 mark questions though.

So how much was the last question worth then? Or whatever the highest mark allocated to a question was

 

[danshea00]

I'm pretty sure it was 6 or 7 for the last question in the options
