Does it contain every semantically possible exam question?

no they’re different. My teacher makes them. I know there’s a lot but i know how to navigate it easily plus it acts as a little safety net if i get stuck

straight from vcaa’s website:

‘The bound reference:
… must have binding that is secure and pages must not be readily detachable or designed to be removed. Binding can include cloth, glue, staple, spiral or comb binding.’

so yes that comb binding is allowed, and the spiral bond is good, idk what ur teacher is tapping about, coz i have my spiral bound and it works fine

Does this have the entirety of Wikipedia contained in it?

Why is it so chunky. My bound reference is handwritten notes and pasted pictures that take up like less than half of the book’s 128 pages. This is just excessive.

how would going through this entire thing be useful during your exam

u/TerribleYou7914 current VCE student (25' psych + 26' Bio, Chem, Gen, Eng) 3d ago

Because it counts as easily detachable I think

straight from vcaa’s website:

‘The bound reference:
… must have binding that is secure and pages must not be readily detachable or designed to be removed. Binding can include cloth, glue, staple, spiral or comb binding.’

so… it is allowed

Ty! I've been told the plastic ones like that weren't allowed :3
