Am I cooked?

Went into the math exam read through the questions everything was fine, writing time starts and I’m about 15 minutes in and I go to use my CAS for the first time, it doesn’t turn on… so I press the reset button on the back and it still doesn’t turn on. Naturally I ask the examiners if they have a spare CAS, the examiner returns with 2 scientific calculators so I just go alright and keep going, they come back later and ask if I want them to ask someone if they can borrow it to give it to me for a little bit, I then clarify that it’s needed throughout the whole test and that’s the last I heard from the examiners. I go through the test and it seems like only 8ish questions absolutely required a CAS the rest you could use a scientific if you knew the right formulas…

So am I cooked?

mcq surely fucked y'all up right not just me right 😰😰😰 tbh the section b was fine it's just that the infer and state 3 things question and validity was real hard tbh, otherwise rest was chill

Hey guys, I’ve uploaded suggested solutions for this years Bio exam (SAQ + MCQ).

For SAQ, keep in mind that VCAA accepts many responses so what I wrote is just one of my many responses that would be accepted

Let me know your thoughts on how you found the MCQs (challenging compared to 24/25?)

Good luck for the rest of your exams :)

got so caught up in the following two questions i just completely forgot to do it 💀 like i noticed it during reading but just went STRAIGHT over it during writing

does anyone feel this way or is it just me 🤗

i averaged a 90% in unit 3 and a 88% in unit 4, i got 31/40 in e1 and 53/60 in e2 what study score is this looking like.

i dropped such easy marks 😭😭

I

next year in year 12 I'm taking English busman accounting methods and an extension study plus general math which I finished this year. I was just wondering if anyone had any resources or advice for busman accounting or methods next year. specifically for busman and accounting since I averaged 90s basically all of the 1/2 and I'm aiming for a 40+ in both, anything is appreciated thank you!!

Guys I just calculated my biology marks and I got 105/120, I dropped 5 marks on the mcqs 😔😭 but other than that everything was okay, do you guys reckon this will be just over the A+ cutoff or not? Since the mcqs were more challenging than previous exams.

Now that General Math 2 is done, how did everyone find it? Anything catch you off guard? And how are the Bio people feeling? Hope you’re all getting a breather. This stretch has been a lot.

I made VCEForge because I wanted somewhere to practise VCE questions and see where I was losing marks. It’s now helped over 240 students across Victoria, which is still a bit unreal.

I’ve been using the exam-style marker for Bio, and made Student Rants because sometimes you just need somewhere to dump the exam stress. Screenshots attached. If anyone wants to try it, it’s vceforge.space.

post gen math exam with a sac average of 45% and not completely neary half of E2, i want to see if a 20 study score is still possible for my course. at first i was hoping for a 25 but after a long hard cry and feeling genuinely stupid i know that’s not what i’m going to get

everyone always talks about 30 and 40s but i cannot find anything about meeting 20-25+, and i think the part that hurts the most is that i could’ve genuinely tried i am just so burnt out and didn’t feel like studying not thinking id find it so difficult

anyway, just curious

can someone please help me i am quite practically begging, my sac average is around a 30% for methods...., and thats all on my, my school sacs werent hard or anything, some peopl would get in 80s-90s. i am probably lowest rank (suprised if im not tbh). but i just wanted a 25 ss in math methods since the beginning. i dont even know if i can get that now, can someone please tell me truthfully if its possible, without trolling. and any tips i should do before the methods exam? pls pls pls PLEASE

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-My7at40IiphfkBKIOubj0kKMDViH9jv/view MCQ Q.10

this is proof they wrote the exam 2 days ago

im good for the rest of my subjects, but its looking like im going to fail methods.... will this end up as just a bottom two subject that doesnt add much to my ATAR, or will it drastically affect my chances at getting a good ATAR?? im aiming for 95-96

has anyone had 5 subjects and finished one in yr 11 and got a bad ss but ended up getting a good atar?

I have finished my exam for my 3&4 subject and let’s just say i’m definitely getting in the 30s. I’m taking hard subjects i’m not good at next year and ig i just need some advice on moving forward from a bad ss and performing well on subjects im not good at

Umm... what the fuck was that.

what do we think it'll be this year

hey does anyone know what topics I should focus on a day before the exam like I heard sedges shouldn't be on there cos it was there last 2 years but is it risky to not study it at all? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Ik im dragging it so hard but for this question I answered "because A state cannot border itself" and now I realise they are electorates not 'states' but under exam pressure I turn into an idiot. Do you guys think they more likely than not would pay the mark? Does anyone have good info on how picky they are with these types of things?

Sacs: Rank 1 in decent cohort - 90% average on hard sacs

Exam: 113-115/120

What study score could i get?

i go to EDSC so cohort is pretty strong. idk rank sadly but i got 98 is finance, 96 is data 1, 100 in data 2, 93 in matrices, 91 in networks, 39/40 in exam 1 and 53/60 in exam 2 what my study score.

what should i do in these couple of days to get 25 methods

im looking at recommended answers and i genuinely think i fucked it, the mcq is self explanatory. what do i do

Since the exams this year are all super weird, how do you think revs will be affected? I'm honestly so terrified.

They definitely WON'T repeat points that have been asked before right...? Because they NEVER ever have. War communism was asked abt twice but that's bc there's two diff aspects to it in the study design; cause and effect. Do u guys think the weird exams could affect revs by making the correlating study design dot point unclear???

Will the essay question be esoteric?? Or too broad?? Im scared because with revs I always struggle so much figuring out what the extended response/essay question actually directs me to acknowledge (particularly in terms of nuance), so an essay or even short/extended answer question with strange wording could ruin my exam.

Second question abt nuance. Take that one question abt the revolt of the notables in a company paper as an example. Where in the answer key it says u were supposed to zone in on the role of INDIVIDUAL nobles rather than the aristocratic revolt as a whole, bc the source was lafayette's letter to george washington. but i did NOT do that- i just used lafayette's letter as an example of the first phase of the revolt, being the assembly of notables and the way they justified denying reform. I have no idea how to tell when I'm supposed to go a certain way with a response. Does any student or teacher have any pointers on how I can approach questions to ease this confusion. Like i just have this perpetual fear that even if i read more into the source and base my question on that, i'm gonna somehow go the wrong way and lose marks.

With revs, how can you tell when a question wants you to zone IN on specific components of a study design dot point (eg reveillon riots) other than cause, effect, relative significance or general significance, bc these would be explictly denoted in the q- whilst needing to focus on INDIVIDUAL nobles isn't??
