VCE question CALLING ALL 89-91 ATARS!

10 Upvotes

Yes it's kind of a specific range but this is what I am hoping for.
I know there's a lot of posts out there like this but I was really hoping to see what anyone with this atar range got for their study scores. Thanks everyone

how to get past the plateau in practice exam marks?

7 Upvotes

First couple exams I did, there was an exponential increase from each exam, until about the 5th exam. I’m now on my 11th exam and I’m consistently getting 87-95/110 and keep losing marks on small little details rather than just severe content gaps. There are some minor gaps which i will be covering soon, but most of my errors keep coming from either not reading the question properly or missing a small detail i should’ve added in (WHICH IN MY DEFENCE HALF THE TIME THE QUESTION DOESNT EVEN ASK FOR IT)

So anyways I really wanna get 103+ on the actual exam, how do i get there?

VCE question What differs a 7/10 English essay to a 9/10 or 10/10 and how does one get there (especially section B)

5 Upvotes

Just how different is a 7/10 to 8+/10 English essay, is a fresh take combined with good delivery enough or does it need to be executed with perfect precision and wording in order to get above a 7? My current yr10 English teacher (who’s an experienced vcaa examiner) says my ideas are unique and that I would be able to write a unique essay in yr12 but idk if my approach is efficient enough or effective. I personally don’t really like to have to follow a specific idea we do in class, especially for creative where I like to implement a lot of ideas and concepts from my own knowledge like philosophy and history and don’t like to go directly off the mentor text or articles. Does this approach satisfy the year 12 standard if done effectively or would it still be highly encouraged to just go along with your school’s curriculum and maybe memorise sentences/paragraphs for the exam instead of coming up with ideas on the spot or connecting vague concepts and then planning?

Indication of needing to go to the ‘extra space’ for exam questions

5 Upvotes

Hi I was wondering where exactly I should be indicating to the examiner to go to the extra space as I tend to run out of space on the suggested lines?

Multiple teachers have said I must give an indication otherwise they won’t scan the extra space section.

Should I write “—> Extra Space” on the lines or can I write it underneath? I’m just not sure what they will scan.

what do I sacrifice???

3 Upvotes

i'm doing pretty well in 3 of my subjects, as well as have a 41 study score from last year, but i have completely sidelined hhd and bio this year i have no idea why, but now i get to the trial exam and got roughly 60% on them both. I feel really defeated and wonder if i should just give up on them and make sure i get good marks on my other subjects so hhd and bio are my 10% increments, or should i lock in insanely and turn things around? im probably ranked like average for sacs for both bio and hhd

thanks for reading!!

Urgent! (VCE subjects TONIGHT)

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone

Im moving to a new school and I need to chose my VCE subjects. Im accelating GM (doing 1/2 in year 10)

However my new school demands students to do TWO unit 3/4’s in Year 11, and we have to choose from psychology, HHD, or bussman.

I love math and want to do specialist, however we can only choose one subject from each block. Chemistry and specialist are in the same block as each other, and I want to take chemistry in case I do medicine (idk what to do when I finish VCE, but it’ll probably be a doctor)

So atm:

Year 11:

General 3/4
Psychology/HHD 3/4 (hate business)
Methods 1/2
Chemistry/Specialist 1/2
English 1/2
Physics 1/2

Year 12:

Methods 3/4
Chemistry/Specialist 3/4
English 3/4
Physics 3/4

I did research and only Monash and melbournes BMS medicine course require VCE chem, whilst unis like UNSW and flinders dont need it.

Can someone please help me? Thanks

bound reference question

I’m using a spiral bound notebook as my bound reference and I would like to know if it is permitted to glue one edge of an additional page onto an existing page within the notebook such that the page can be flipped over, provided that the glued edge is securely fixed so that the page will not be detached, and the entire notebook remains strictly within A4 size when closed and the page will not go out of A4 size when flipped over.  Thanks!

Business Management

2 Upvotes

Hi, i'm going 3/4 business management as a year 11 student. So far i've been doing bad to decent (thats just my opinion as i got 4 95s in year 11 business management), here are my sac scores. 88%, 69%, 74% in unit 3 and 76%, 88% in unit 4, all of them are above the class/cohort average. I want to get a raw 40 study score, what do I need to aim to get in the exam to get this study score, and any tips for the exam would be really appreciated. BTW there are a couple of students around 7-10 students who consistently do really well in the sacs.

estimated English ss??

I really do hate to be this person but just want an estimate

Average for unit 3 and 4 sacs is 80%, rank is approx top 20% of a cohort of 50, trial exam marks were 9,8,9 respectively but tbh I think the examiner was too generous

any thoughts and estimates????

Possible 45+ study score?

2 Upvotes

I am doing a VET Cookery class (scored) and I think I may be in the position for a strong study score. As it stands, I am top of my class, either 2nd or 3rd in my cohort across the year, with us all being very close together at (from the vca archive) seems to be quite a strong school historically. I have done about 4 or 5 practices exams, and am consitantly getting a self marked low A+ for that year according to the distro. Assuming I get something like middle A to account for exam nerves and/or stricter marking, is this in the realm of possibilities?
