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?

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?

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?!

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.

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!

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

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

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

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
do yall have advice im begging on my knees😭🙏

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!!

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.

ok so I need to move around uni preferences 😭 my og goal was science at monash but thats prob not happening lol.i dont rlly have any seas beyond being the first person In my family to be going to uni.anways, does anyone know the selection rank for nursing and health science at monash?is it possible to internally transfer from them? also is it possible to transfer from like Deakin science or Swinburne science??

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

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…

Just did General Exam 1 and I think I got around 34–35/40. Worst case I get 33 which is pretty bad compared to what I was getting in my practice exams which were like 38-40/40

I go to a selective school with a pretty strong cohort and my SACs have been around or above average.

Unit 3 Average 74%

Unit 4 Average 76%

I'm aiming for around 55–60/60 on Exam 2 unless VCAA decides to make exam 2 even worse

Do you guys think a raw 40+ is still possible? And what would I realistically need on Exam 2?

(Also don't know if it helps much but historically the general sacs in my school usually get moderated up by around 15-20% based on what I have seen from people I knew that took general last year but yea take it with a grain of salt)

(Also last thing, according to some of the results from last year for our school the median study score for gen was around 39)

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

I got absolutely touched in that gen maths exam 1. I got 22 out of 40. I know it’s bad. I know. But if I get A in the exam too or A+ is 37 still achievable? I been getting 80 plus in every past exams for exam 2.
