we all probably got variations so I'mnot going to bother to discuss the material.

But overall, multiple choice was good. Short answers was terrific. Essay 1 was awesome, essay 2 was ok.

The exam was relatively decent, considering that my preparation and revision wasn't all that good. I found some of the questions in the multiple choice a bit difficult (I always do bad in multiple choices *sigh*). The topics I was hoping for were in the short answers, apart from one... and the extended response questions was alright, although I was running out of things to write for the final essay. Overall, I'm just hoping I can maintain my current rank... ><

For the extended responses, I selected the one dealing with reducing inflation and the World Trade Organization's impacts on the global world... something along those lines.

I chose the one on exchange rates, that one was awesome. Are we doing the same exam? Sounds like it.

Just read an article on Exchange rates from the Economist the day before the trials, so i could quote it easily.

I got 74 or 76. I thought I did very bad at first, but considering that the highest is only 82, that's alright. My school keeps our trial mark very low to scare us into studying harder for the final HSC. =.=

I haven't got the result but I did the test yesterday and am not looking forward to the result (not that it will be terrible, just poor ranks wise).

Edit: not CSSA paper...
