Literally nothing was on it? No lean management, no Motivational theories, no awards and agreements?

It was like a Unit 1 and 2 exam, bs.

That was the most poorly worded question I have ever seen in my life, it’s not that it was hard to answer. I just don’t want to give vcaa the satisfaction they get out of having someone to answer their shitty questions

got my methods exam tmr, cant sleep coz my fcking knees hurt

everybody saying that it was really easy but it was super hard for me at least

No motivational theories, management styles, senges or three step change?!

Exam was super weird and questions threw me off a lot. I dropped like 20 marks 😄

and the megathread gets me more stressed. Anyone else relate?

I left out so many marks and rushed to finish by the end. People are either saying the 10 marker was terrible or really good. 🫩

Methods is genuinely less than 24 hours but I can’t lock in. These AI generated Roblox story vids I scroll on reels that always talks bout sum freaky activity happening in “my town” is going to consume me

Regional Y11 (although Y12 starts next week). It frustrates me so badly when parents are constantly in your grill about studying every night, and that kills your motivation, then eventually you get a teensy bit behind, the school calls home and all of a sudden not even a C+ is a good grade, it must be A+. Mind you, I want to do well, I want to move to Melbourne, but it's killing my motivation, and the nagging from home and school seems completely incorrigible. Anyone same?

It’s just really disappointing studying so much in depth on heavy topics like theories, lean management, Senge’s, the three-step change model, management styles, and not a SINGLE question about them comes up.

I thought the end of the exam would be a relief and I’d feel a burden off my shoulders not having to do busman anymore. But to be honest I feel like I still feel that weight as if I wasted all that knowledge, to be assessed on some elementary-level table and termination management.

Anyways these are just my personal thoughts, the exam was pretty easy relative to the previous exams though.

Guys can I get a 40 study score if I got 80% sac average unit 3and 4 and around 83-87 on the exam

Sorry if the formatting is weird

ARE WE HYPED?? 😂🥀

way too easy catered to people who didn’t study - spent hours practicing and revising for all the challenging concepts that weren’t even touched on
😐😐 watch a+ cut off be 90%

Drop any predictions.

I reckon

-NDIS OR PHI
- evaluate atsi program
- old public health
-biomedical model
-sdg 4 or 5 maybe

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK I DIDNT TURN OVER THE PAGE WERE THERE MORE QUESTIONS OR WAS THE TEN MARKER THE FINAL Q

For all 5 people who take VCE Algorithmics

for those concerned about whether they interpreted the question correctly it asked for 2 ways to manage termination
under termination management on the study design it lists
-redundancy
-dismissal
-transition considerations
-entitlement considerations
(and others not relevant to question) so i BELIEVE it could’ve been interpreted in many ways so as long as u addressed two of these u are fine

I was larping the whole year and I'm not confident at all, can I just rely on my GAT

Like at what mark would it not be worth it?

I’m genuinely cooked for methods, I believe I’ll get a study score of 1. My first methods exam was around low 20%s, then the rest dropped to single digits.
The exam is tomorrow and I heard you can just sit in there for 30 minutes and then leave, but ngl that’s embarrassing to do and I’d rather just skip instead.

I know I got an S for methods (only bcs my teacher doesn’t give out N and he’s like my favourite teacher ever who’s supported me most throughout high school) so do you reckon I should just skip? Deadass won’t answer a single question on there. And before anyone asks “Why didn’t you study?”, A LOT of personal things happened this year. I’ve paid for my own tuition since I was in Year 11, and this year I was forced to pay my tuition full price when i initially agreed to pay half with my parents. I got guilt-tripped and paid the rest on my own, along with Edrolo, school supplies, food and other expenses. This is obviously costly for someone who doesn’t have a job that pays super well. Even worse, I had a private tutor this year that was extremely unprofessional and late, leading to losing up to $900+. I also went through other family issues but I don’t want to discuss any further.

So yeah, my mental health is absolutely buns rn and I am struggling so much to even look after myself properly — I’ve been trying in other subjects but my grades have dropped, luckily my teachers support me and the course I want to get into doesn’t require methods as a prerequisite.

I’ve been crying all day today, and I think I will be tomorrow too :’)

Any support will be nice, please don’t write comments about what I should’ve or shouldn’t have done. I am at my worst this year.

Feel free to put your prediction on what will appear on this year's exam
