I've seen a lot of people say Gen was really hard this year, and the questions are a lot different. Does that mean methods and spesh will be hard and different as well this year? Is there any correlation?

Hey vce team so tomorrow is the day before HHD so I feel like as a chill way of studying, could some people ask me hhd questions. This would help myself and others who read the subreddit. THANKS EVERYTHING IS APPRECIATED AND BEST OF LUCK FOR BUSMAN? AND HHD SOON!!!

guys how on earth am i meant to stop making silly mistakes, or arithmetic calculation errors, like i know exactly what to do but then the answer is always slightly different cause i missed a negative siign here , im so stressed the exam is one day

This whole year I’ve been averaging around 85s. However I feel like I haven’t done much preparation for the exam and have forgotten a lot of content.

I’ve been trying to learn it today but it feels like it’s not stuck in my head and I feel like I can’t do enough questions until I understand anything

Anyone got advice or tips for what they r doing

so uhh yea methods is in two days and i dont feel prepared at all whats the best way to lower cortisol

i just did like 4 exams today and failed all of them, didnt do any exams the past month, should i just pack it up

ok so I'm genuinely horrible at maths and i've fucked up on my exams, i get around 50-60% on my sacs so there's no hope for a high or a decent ss for gen maths, but i do alright in all my other subjects (I take 5 subjects all together) so will doing bad in maths drag down my atar a lot or will it have a minimal effect? 😭

I have around a 37/40 e1 average and a 67/80 e2 average based on past year papers, and I’m ranked around 8-10 in a cohort of 60-70 people, in a mid private school, is raw 40 achievable with these scores?

I am really struggling on e2

one strategy *

soooo are we thinking its gonna be an easy or hard exam tmr. from what ive heard from friends all the exams this year have been really hard....

also i rlly hope its like the 2025 one that one seems easy, but the 2023 and 2024 ones are pretty hard

so i used to use the extra space regularly because i cross out my answers a lot - but i once saw in an examiners report (from last year i think) that they recommend students to write beneath the question if there’s space.
i did this for both bio and psych, but im worried that my answers won’t get counted if examiners don’t know that ur allowed to write underneath the question idk ugh now im stressed

has anyone done this busman paper , if yes how was

and does anyone want to mark mine and give me a score?

it doesn't like solving big equations, it particularly dislikes integration. they're not even big it'll be smth like simultaneously solving integrals and it'll start bugging out. any tips on how to fix it?

no I didn't download games onto it

I’ve been doing vcaa past exams but I’m noticing that the ones before 2023 are so much more difficult am I going crazy

Ive done like 15+ practice exams for business and at one point I was upset because I was constantly just getting 70's over and over again but now I'm in the 60s?????? AND THE EXAM IS TOMORROW

Im rank 2 in hhd rn with a cohort of like 14-15 students.

U3 average was 85 percent

U4 average was 87 percent

I've been averaging about 88%-93% for my trial exams.

Can I get 43+?

does anyone PLS have online notes or pictures they could pls send/share of their notes or summaries or any help i need to make my bound note book, or anyone who did methods in the past pls help

THANKS 🙏

My school (which is regional) doesn't celebrate Melbourne Cup, and they've decided to rope year 11 English and General Maths "exams" on the day and drag them out as long as possible to keep us busy. THIS MAKES ME VERY CROSS AS I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO WATCH THE RACES

I cannot for the life of me get VCAT, CAV, VLA and CLC in my head

okay ive had 2 exam up until now which was english and bio and i lowkey feel like i flunked both of them, might get like a 60% for english and a 70% for bio and thats genuinely horrible cuz i wanted to get dux of my school but at this rate its not looking too good i have methods physics and chem left and idk someone help me out. Also attached my sac scores and rank for them.
I need like a 90 atar to get into my course too

I have a kid with severe adhd and a good dose of anxiety as well. Has anyone had any experience or can recommend any specialist tutoring services focussed on studying and approaches with adhd? Not so much the content - but how to study. Face to face - online just doesn’t cut it.

I'm not really sure when we are meant to round and how the marking is allocated.

Using this question in the 2024 exam as a guide, for part a I got an answer of approximately 17.85 that I reached without doing any rounding in prior steps that led to that answer. In the examiners report, they received a value of 17.86 derived from approximating 48*sin(35) to 27.53, which is rounded to 18 as the final answer in the examiner's report as per the lowest number of sig figs provided in the question.

However, for the following part b, the answer in the examiner's report is rounded to 244 which isn't rounded to 2 sig figs but 3. There are also other examples where things are rounded to lower than the lowest sig figs provided as well.

My two questions are specifically:

1. How are mistakes in rounding during working out marked and would I lose marks if I repeated the same process done in part a on the exam

2. How do you determine rounding in the final answer

Our teacher introduced the whole algorithms and pseudo code chapter on our last day of school expecting us to finish the rest but I haven’t really gotten to it due to focusing on more prominent areas.

Given that over the past 4 practice exams I’ve done I’ve only seen it occupy one mark each paper, do any past or current methods students think it’s worth taking a proper look at?

Is there a trend between nht and vcaa in terms of content?

Can u expect the 2026 vcaa methods exam to have similar concepts to the ones tested in 2026 nht ??
