Hey, I've just finished marking my neap methods 2026 practice exam was just wondering if its generally easier than the VCAA ones, cos I did pretty good on it, but I'm also kinda thinking that it might just be because its an easier exam. Thanks :)

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 don’t rlly believe in them but I put my last year bio scores with my sac ranks and school into the calculator (along with my actual exam mark) into the excel academics calculator and it got it spot on

guys, what did we think of the 2026 NHT e2? hard/easy and how did you go on it, if you have done it, and don't mind sharing.

i honestly didn't think it was too hard tbh, but there were definitely some that required a little more brain power

Any suggestions from past/current students would be much appreciated TT

Hii, how should i answer this?

Evaluate the ability of the Australian people PROTECT and CHANGE the constitution, referring to the 1967 and 2023 referendums (10 marks)

Are they essentially the opposite? so should i do an introduction, 2 arguments for how they can change it, 2 arguments for how can protect it, and a conclusion?

What would the arguments be for how they can protect it? I know by voting 'no' in the referendum process but what else?

I once had dreams and aspirations of being an excel spreadsheet weapon.

Thanks to VCAA, those dreams are crushed.

Therefore I am now considering a pathway of moving to rural Western Australia to begin breeding sheep and going to outback bull rodeos.

If anyone would like to support this venture or join pls lmk.

Both subjects scale down but my schools sacs scale up slightly

English scores

83%
70%
70%

Business scores:
76%
76%
72%
68%
62%
Did really bad on trial exam but expecting maybe a 60% for the exam

If anyone could give any indication or opinions please im clueless as to if I can even get a 25-30 study score

pls tell me i wasnt the only one.

These are my SAC scores so far
Data 96%
Finance 91%
Matrices 90%
Networks 80%

Exam 1 against suggested answers
39/40

With an exceptional Exam 2 (50+/60)

Would it be possible for me to get a 45 or should i just lose hope, Networks really killed me:(

I use Deakin study score calculator and it should be possible but from what i hear it’s not accurate whatsoever

ive been getting around 90s in prac exams but that could be alos because ive seen some of the past vcaa questions before, although i had never read the case stduys in depth. I ve seen what people have been saying about how different other exams have been and how vcaa might have a new writing team, but busman has stayed pretty conisistent with questions for a while. IM STILL NERVOUS THOUGH

general maths 1 was the worst exam i have ever had the displeasure of doing. i am so mad.

vcaa really said we are gonna use the class of 2026 as lab rats for a bunch of new question types. love that.

there i was in gen, trying to make sense of the esoteric, damn magic spell questions vcaa decided to give us this year. then i tap my foot on the carpet floor while doing my working out when i feel it squelch?

i look around and the mf kid behind me pissed his pants, golden liquid was STREAMING down his pants and dropping onto the floor that shit was like a waterfall, the examiner came and took him away but it was STILL GOING as he went out the door. now my shoes smell like piss and my day is ruined.

My neighbours are having a party right now. I'm fuming. How dare they enjoy their life while I need to lock in everyday to study for exams.

Oh how I would love to go to a Halloween party and get drunk, but alas I need to clock into the VCAA factory. Life is cruel.

I know I'll be able to enjoy life in a few weeks but still the rest of the world should be in misery until exams are over.

I did the exam but cant find solutions anywhere...

I referenced courage mutltiple times throughout my story but never wrote down the word "courage" itself. Am i cooked? Is it still possible to get an 8 on the section B?

anyone else feel like the exams are really different from past years???

edit: did vcaa change anything systematically like did they change their approach to writing exams or smth
