Decent. Some interesting questions.

Just to be clear, the last question was the graph sketch one ye?

Yeah like the stretching coil and also the one with the electron moving in that magnetic field with electric plates.
I’m very uncertain as to my score. Anywhere from 95-100%.

Any idea when we will be able to see the answers?

definitely did better on this one than any of my other exams. I was shocked that the stuff I actually understood made up most of the paper, woo

I'm so thankful. I love you VCAA let me give you a smooch

Do you guys think this exam was harder than previous years or easier? and what do you reckon will be the A+ cutoff?

Somewhat Harder, A+ = ~80%
(About 2 percentage points lower).

If 2019 was a 5/10 in difficulty, 2020 exam was about 6.5-7/10. Unconventional questions in the exam

we're not allowed to have copies of the exam shared using the forums unfortunately since VCAA has the copyright over them  :(

suggested solutions are fine tho as long as it doesn't include the actual exam.

How did we go on the last question (with the circuit with resistance, and the graph we had to sketch)?

I did it but lowkey felt like I bludged it, what did you get for the last question?

7 Ohms. (negative value of the y intercept)
I have a bad feeling like it is out of range though. Also, I am guessing that is the way to find the value, as -R was the 'c' value of the equation linking r and 1/i.
