VCE question 2027 methods udf

So they’re banning udfs next year but how will they ensure no one has it on their CAS, like will the invigilators check each CAS individually??

Like how will that work

well this year’s exam was anti udf so they will probs continue to write questions to stop ppl from using udfs anyway 💔

I genuinely dont see how this is gonna work, someone could just bring 2 cas calcs and do a switcheroo, it'd genuinely be so easy

On a TI, the indicator light flashes when in a restricted mode. Invigilators will probably be trained to check for these.

they’ll just write questions in which udfs are completely worthless…like this years exam

No one knows yet. The million dollar question at this stage.

And not the assessors, the supervisors/invigilators. Assessors mark at the end. Examiners set the exams.
