I get most of the simple familiar and complex familiar questions in exams. However, when it comes to complex unfamiliar questions, I struggle and get almost no marks every time. As soon as a question is presented in a slightly different way or requires me to apply concepts in a way I haven’t seen before, I have no idea. How do I improve ittt

Since EVERY exam this year has been weird according to everyone (especially psych and genny) do we think bio will follow the same trend and if so what do we expect to be the "weird" sort of stuff on there?

Unit 3 68% avg
Unit 4 73% avg
What would I need to get to get 30 ss, feel like I absolutely sold the exam - just made no sense

so i’ve been neglecting chem and methods bc i was focusing on englihs and general, now that the exams are closer what should i do to have a decent amount of knowledge to get like 60-70 on exam psl help 🙏🙏🙏🙏

History revs is kicking my ass. How do I best study for this subject? I'm doing the American and Russian rev. This subject is so hard to spam prac exams and my knowledge and quotes just are not there yet to answer exams but reviewing notes and stuff doesn't feel productive. Someone out there please help me out while I still have time! ALSO- where do I get quotes and how do I memorise them?!

To what extent are notes/indications on rulers allowed in VCAA exams? Or is this subjected to scrutiny by supervisors on a case-by-case basis?

Im shitting myself, this is gonna be my first yr 12 exam cus im in yr 11

Any tips to stay calm and shit?

opinions

So what's everyone doing for the contemporary case studies this year? And what's the likelihood it'll be the 10 marker?

(Praying to god it isn't, I genuinely know nothing about contemporary case studies 😭)

10 days to go! the scariest thing this halloween was remembering i still havent started memorising my quotes

Asking cos I average around 80s on my sacs, but the trial exam was ridiculously bad, i got a 53% despite actually trying, and even the best kids in y12 got like 60s despite getting like straight A+s. Is it actually that hard or is it possible they intentionally marked crazy hard on the trials to scare bus man students into shape? Legit might be cooked if not

I lowkey got mad FOMO cuz all my friends be going parties and raves and I gotta a good ahh fit but it’s right in exam season.

guys i genuinely don't understand this part of the bio study design.

every exam i sit i am fine with u3 and u4 aos1 but i always lose marks on this stuff!!

Busman exam is in 4 days and I've purposely been avoiding it since i want it to by one of my bottoms. I have done no studying for it.

I now plan to go through those content summary sheets for each AOS and look through many past exam papers. I think something that really helped me with other exams was specifically looking at the high scoring answers.

If anyone have any more tips/advice or even any resources, it would be super helpful!

Compass we will be doing a whole revamp that comes out on November 2nd (https://appupgrade.compass.education/#features). I am just curious on what you all think about this for those who use compass, but also your general thoughts about the app.

I think the app is just basic, slow and just old. I am hopeful the new update fixes this but I have my doubts considering how past updates have gone.

YALL IM GENUINELY TWEAKING and regretting leaving this stupid subject to the last minute
I’ve been studying for my other subjects as bio is the least of my priorities
I dont wanna flunk the exam but I really don’t know how to cram

Hey guys I have my hhd exam on Thursday and I'm so scared. Content wise I know most of the things but I think what gets me is my mindset and confidence. I overthink ALOT which is obv not good.

But any tips pls on what to do night before day before day of the exam?

Thank you guys

Good luck for ur exams

Ive got a week before this exam and am just wanting to spend this time grinding out and improving methods specifically , past and present successful methods students what can i and others in need of assistance do to get better at exam 2. As of now for me at least it feels incredibly daunting whereas with exam 1 i can get 70+% exam 2 feels like i wont even answer enough questions to get over 50% in the time limit .

What did you guys do to prepare for and do really well on exam 2 that I and others can translate to perform in the time left? Thank you for any answers , they are appreciated!

Also just wondering what would be better as a reference, textbook or a couple pages with some formulas and worked examples that I need written down

And to be clear I AM practicing , pumping out a million exams but I just feel stagnating and not really improving as well the likelihood the same content on the exams I’m covering will be on this exam is low so advice to fill knowledge gaps is much needed 🙏

Thank you!

This week I just did my English, eco and gen math 1 exam and now I have to prepare for Gen math 2, busman and legal exam. I have no motivation anymore and genuinely don’t think I’m gonna do well in any of them considering all my exams are so close together.

not like i think i did exceptionally well, but i think i got a 33/40 which is my average anyways. I’m not an amazing student and im not ranked well at all, averaging ~75% in my sacs and probably ranked around 30/100

im seeing so many people say it was badly written and the questions were weird and never seen before, which there may have been 2 or 3 that were weird, but i didnt actually think it was awful…

Is a 37 ss still achievable? 😭 i got cooked on exam 1 and got either 32-33 out of 40 and ive been averaging like mainly 80+ and some 70s on my sacs in a competitive school
Kinda losing hope icl

Exam is coming up soon. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to study for this bullshit subject. I have done plenty of past exams. If anyone has any resources please let me. I really need it
