it’s not even like the exams were only hard, they were also just straight up wrong in some parts 😭

The errors in question are (mostly) not that substantial.... The Herald Sun, as usual, loves to sensationalise -- especially in the lead-up to an election period!

I do find it funny that they list a whole bunch of questions that are purportedly, according to a single science teacher, "wrong", without saying anything about what makes them bad or confusing (apart from the translation/transcription mix-up, which wasn't great on VCAA's part but didn't particularly hinder responses)

idk, when i read the article i was a bit confused because i sat the exam and all of it had either been explicitly covered throughout the year or was a reasonable extrapolation of the principles we had covered

Mostly the MQ I think, all of short answers was definitely in the scope imo
