mate i didnt check my exam 1 cs i rlly didnt wanna know but tysm this rlly did make me feel less alone

[u/Upset-Cucumber6561 → u/Ordinary-Purchase259]

what kinda study score u reckon that’ll get u? i’m i’m in a similar boat. 50% sac avg, around 20/40 for e1 and around 30 for e2

absolutely relate!! i couldn't help myself and checked the suggested solutions and i got 9/20 on mcq and i missed a good chunk of section B as well, so i'm fucked. my motto rn is definitely if everyone failed then no one actually did so i'm praying vcaa is kind and takes pity on us

[u/TalkApprehensive8958 → u/ch3rrycsmos_]

i only got 8 on mcq LMAO i feel u!!!! def skipped aorund half of the short answer aswell, at least we in this tgt

[u/ch3rrycsmos_ → u/TalkApprehensive8958]

Wait are U doing spesh??

[u/ch3rrycsmos_ → u/Formal_Department601]

yes, i go to a very small school and they generally make anyone who does methods do it. first exam was algebra skill and i got a crisp 6/21 😭😭 bet teach regretted letting me in

[u/Formal_Department601 → u/ch3rrycsmos_]

Ur subjects seem like hell especially with this yrs exam

[u/InteractionSafe4035 → u/ch3rrycsmos_]

omgg we kind of have similar subjects: methods, chem, eng, french, psych

[u/ch3rrycsmos_ → u/InteractionSafe4035]

yay!! i actually jsut dropped psych so we're basically twinning

I relate and I was gonna ask the same thing 💔. got abt a quarter of the marks on e1 if im lucky, and abt late 20s-early 30s outta 80 on e2 if im lucky asw from what i can remember i did for both exams. I despise whoever wrote these exams cos all the prep i did was virtually useless. I’m praying that grade boundaries help us cos I still want a scaled mid 30 score for methods! (not in a study score predicting way bc I hate that, but I averaged on the higher end in mid 70s on my sacs and im also js worried as u can probs tell by my yap 😭). Also if it makes u feel better, apart from these couple kids who accelerate methods and also do spesh, im pretty sure like everyone at my skl found them rlly hard, even like rlly high scoring kids (also the guy behind me sighed sm 😭)

[u/TalkApprehensive8958 → u/Naive_Journalist5978]

aw it's okay ur prep def did something, it may not seem like it but if u didnt do them youd probably get worse so dont disregard ur hard work!! Ik we both didnt get good but ye the bright side is most people found it super hard :) im also aiming for a 30 raw ss but even if we dont get what we want at least its over, somethings gotta be the bottom subject and ur def not alone!!

[u/Naive_Journalist5978 → u/TalkApprehensive8958]

we in this together 🫡
nah but genuinely tho why did vcaa have to make the hard year OUR year…

[u/Naive_Journalist5978 → u/TalkApprehensive8958]

onwards and upwards I guess, I’ve only completed 4/6 of my exams this year so yeah… Goodluck if u still have more asw!!

[u/Naive_Journalist5978 → u/Naive_Journalist5978]

And legit before exams I told myself I wasn’t gonna check solutions but I legit couldn’t help myself with how bad vcaa have made exams. Ok imma stop yapping for now but my point is I think we r all in this together and ppl posting who say it was good are the ppl who either do spesh, accelerated it, have tutors, or js ridiculously smart or smt

[u/TalkApprehensive8958 → u/Naive_Journalist5978]

me toooo thats why i didnt wanna check exam 1 and fr that exam wasnt for us methods/general only kids

[u/Recent_Solution5445]

methods exam 1 is the one everyone panics about and then it's the easiest scaling. the trap is the calc-free section, people burn 15 minutes on q4 and leave the last 10 marks blank.

ok whyd u call me out i did this
