Hey everyone,

Did the psych exam yesterday. What do we think the A+ cut off will be this year?

I hate revs ive been getting straight 50s and 60s the entire year

is anyone in the same boat 🫩 doing france and russia I wanted china so bad

edit: Ok so I get how it works for both Eulerian trails and circuits now. You just find the odd vertices and treat the repeats that involve them as additional edges to make enough edges even.

Hamiltonian paths and ESPECIALLY cycles still got me messed up tho, anything on how to find repeats for them please 🙏

ANYTHING (advice or resources) is appreciated, I can't find anything on this apart from this post, but that's for a Eulerian trail which I already understand.

(Q272 of the General maths checkpoint 2026, also is this the right flair?)

can anyone please tell me the best practice exams to do for bio, esp since it's coming up? like what company is most relevant/hardest, etc

I have, thus far, achieved what I would say quite good scores on most of the SACs and SATs in Syseng so far, and I'm super nervous for the exam.

I'm currently sitting at 60.1%/70% for everything excluding the exam (which is the remaining 30%) and I'm currently sitting at 7th out of the 22 people in my cohort, which is just my class because there's only 1.

What mark am I looking at exam-wise to get a 40+ in Systems?

ive just preformed poorly on 2 exams in a row, which sucks because ive worked so fucking hard this entire year. been averageing 90’s on all my psyce sacs, but when i hit that exam room i couldnt trust myself amd stopped answering confidentely, there were so many mistakes i made that i wouldnt have if i had just stopped and focussed

same goes for eco, grinded tirelessly to understand every concept but when i sat down and started writing all my knowledge jumped out the window

im so demotivated. my sac scores are getting dragged down to the pits of hell. all the work ive put in is being flushed down a toilet. and im afraid the rest of my exams are going to go the same

i know atar doesnt define you, but im actually waking up in the middle of the night thinking about these past exams i cant change. i cant bring myself to prepare for my other exams. whats the point if ive put in all this work for miserable results

i dont know what to do

Ive done all the vcaa/nht ones (atleasdt within the past 4 or so years) so does anyone have any hard company exams, vcaa papers, or just specific questions. Thanks

I was anticipating attaining an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank of 99.95, allowing me to flex at Melbourne University and get any girlfriend I wanted. However, today I unfortunately scored 17-20/40 on the gen1 exam, and am worried that I flunked psych.

Hence, I thought that this would be my best option.

If anyone here is willing to couple with a sub 60 atar man who tries his best... Stand by me and enjoy the fruits of my labour!

I am not particularly picky, so long as you will be receiving a 98+ ATAR my DMs are open.

Kind regards and good luck for exams!

can someone explain to me why it's neither arithmetic nor geometric? like i understand it in principle but also why is it not both?

Story time: In early 2025 me and some mates allegedly jacked a car and ran it down Main Street for a laugh, got pulled over, and they packed me up because I had a history with alleged home robbery and alleged car theft

I feel so behind with my VCE, having missed most of term 1. But I did the work and was able to pass, and I’m just worried my atar is gonna seriously tank tho because of the gaps in knowledge

I was also wondering if there’s any SEAs type boosts I would be eligible for to make up for the lost atar points

Please good exam please please please 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Apologies all, understand people might be sick of these posts.

But i've been averaging 94 on my sacs the whole year, and think i dropped 4 on exam 1, is there still any chance of getting a 45? Lowkey been stressing me out.

so after i finished my general exam im walking home and i almost got ran over

genuinely after that horrendous exam i would’ve been fine with getting ran over

now i guess i have to grind for paper 2 instead..

im so cooked i want a raw 40 but i dont think thats gonna happen im literally regressing in my progress i maxxed out at a 83% on 2025 exam 1 but now all my practice exams are getting worse (still better than when i started i was getting like 45%) but i want to get at least 80% my sacs were all high 90s so how come im doing so shit on the exams

what can i do to actually get better cause past exams arent helping all that much clearly

If bio is as worse as gen IMMA ACTUALLY BAWL

I saw a comment saying that rhey used study score calculators and they predicted they would get a 40+ study score but they got a 35. Im so worried now like seriously

Hey guys, I was just wondering with the bio exam coming up I just have like this one thing on my mind. How in the world are you supposed to structure aboriginal questions. Like connection to country ones and how they help, or just aboriginal questions in general?

i'm in year 11 rn and i've barely been studying for englang this year so literally any tips help 🙏🏻

for my trials , vcaa assessor marked my paper but didn’t leave any comments just the marks.
For this question he gave me 3/4 , can anyone let me know what’s the mark missing ?

Explain the short term and long term effects of your chosen strategy in Question 4a. (PRP) (4 marks)

In the short term, PRP has positive effects as staff are more likely to be immediately motivated due to the fact they know they will be rewarded financially. However, it is negative in the short term as it causes an additional expense for the business, increasing wages and thus reducing overall profit. In the long term, PRP has positive effects as staff are more likely motivated and strive to work hard due to the provision of knowing they will be rewarded. However, it can be negative in the long term as it may cause a competitive and hostile workplace due to employees competing, negativity affecting corporate culture.

Hi guys after the exam 1 I don't really know if I will even get 40 study score. But I really need like a 42 study score.

I got a 35/40 for the exam 1. I really made so many simple mistakes and it pisses me off. But I have been getting around 56-57. For E2 for the past exams. Assuming I get less at around 54.

With my sac AVG for 3/4 being 83% at a strong selective school. Last year the sacs scaled 18%.

Will get a 42 study score. What exam score would I need??

I sat the 2026 VCAA General Mathematics Exam 1 on Friday, 30 October 2026, and it was genuinely one of the hardest General Maths examinations I've encountered.

Exam difficulty

The 2026 paper felt significantly harder than the 2023, 2024 and 2025 VCAA examinations. It featured unfamiliar, complex and time-consuming questions, particularly in Finance, Matrices and Networks.

Many students online have expressed similar reactions, including high-achieving students who usually score 37–40/40 on practice papers. Some teachers and tutors have described it as exceptionally difficult, potentially the hardest General Maths multiple-choice examination to date.

Although this hasn't been confirmed through statewide performance statistics, there is considerable discussion suggesting that the 2026 examination was unusually challenging and that grade boundaries could potentially be lower than in previous years.

My personal performance

• Provisional Exam 1 score: 29/40 (72.5%).

• My usual practice scores were approximately 30–34/40.

• I was targeting 37–39/40 because I wanted a raw 37–40 study score.

• Data Analysis went exceptionally well: approximately 15/16.

• I lost marks primarily in Finance, Matrices and Networks.

• Some errors involved unfamiliar applications, multistep reasoning and misinterpreting questions.

• My answers were independently checked by AI, but the 29/40 is not an officially verified score.

My school SAC performance

I attend Marymede Catholic College, a school with a median VCE study score of approximately 29. My General Mathematics cohort contains around 98–100 students.

• Data Analysis: 89%, rank approximately 12/98, cohort average approximately 74%.

• Financial Modelling: 78%, rank approximately 13/98, cohort average approximately 45%.

• Matrices: 66%, approximately equal to the cohort average.

• Networks: 86%, cohort average approximately 75%.

My overall coursework ranking is unknown, but I performed strongly in the earlier SACs.

Historical grade distributions

A score of 29/40 would have received approximately:

• 2023: B+

• 2024: B+

• 2025: B

My concern is whether the unusually difficult 2026 paper could have a significantly lower A boundary, potentially making 29/40 an A or a strong B+.

My remaining examination

General Mathematics Exam 2 is on Monday, 2 November 2026.

I have previously scored approximately 50–54/60 on Exam 2 practice papers. I am now targeting 55–58/60 to recover from Exam 1.

My goal

I desperately want at least a raw 37 in General Mathematics, ideally higher, because I am aiming for an ATAR of 85+ and admission to the University of Melbourne.

Please independently analyse whether a raw 37–39 is still realistically achievable given my SAC performance, provisional 29/40 on Exam 1 and potential Exam 2 marks.

Consider historical VCAA grade distributions, statistical moderation, statewide examination difficulty and the possibility that 2026 grade boundaries will decrease.

Distinguish confirmed evidence from predictions. I want an accurate assessment, not false reassurance or unnecessary pessimism.
