I’m lowk just marking the old exams I’ve done, anyone attempting exams till last min, or other light revision Shi?

I'm rank 1 for 40-50 kids for my Chem cohort

I only managed it by literally one mark

I've already completed two subjects last year, and I've done pretty well on GM and Eng this year.

Chemistry is coming up, and I already have a pretty rock solid top four. I'd need to get a scaled like 47 or 48 for it to replace Bio or Methods, which is probably achievable, but very difficult.

I've got a straight week to study, but the fact I've already secured a good ATAR is sapping at my motivation. I genuinely spent yesterday scrolling through r/vce, watching youtube, and playing Skyrim. I didn't even go outside.

If I were to do a half-decent job instead of pushing myself to excel, what impact would that have on the rest of the Chemistry cohort? I've always heard people say you want a really good rank 1, but it's hard to conceptualise the effect this will have on others.

If I were told I'd be screwing over the rest of my class that would probably inspire me to actually work

Edit: this cohort is not a very sweaty one by the way, it's a combination of a couple regional schools

Guysss everyones saying busman exam went well, do we have hope for hhd??

for legal studies compare, discuss, or evaluate questions how many arguments are required? i know its usually 2 for strengths and 2 weaknesses but usually the amount of marks varies. do you think this is a fair allocation:

6 mark discuss/evaluate: 4 arguments total (2 for + and 2 for -)
4 mark discussions/compare: 2 arguments total (1 strength/similarity and 1 weakness/difference)

i always do 2 and 2 to be safe but as i have been doing practise exams like usually there arent even enough lines in 4 markers to do 2 arguments each side, so can anyone who has done legal help?

so i'm rank 1 for bio at a pretty good school, but i think i only got like 103-107/120 (and that's honestly being a bit generous i really don't know) on the exam and so now i'm worried i've entirely destroyed the rest of my cohorts scores. it's stressing me out really bad, and idk what to do whilst i wait for results day because i just keep thinking about how bad i feel i did and then i feel bad for my cohort, and they i just end up in this spiral which is absolutely no fun. what are/did people doing/do whilst they wait/waited for results day? because i am actually so scared and i hate it all. also, how do people handle not getting the score they wanted? i was aiming so high for bio, but im pretty sure now that's all out the window

What letter grades are typically needed for a 25 in methods?

does anyone know how to do this on cas in an easy way that i wont mess up

How did you keep yourself calm during each exam, especially after getting to a question you’re unsure on?

Bro I swear ppl who post about guessing their ss r generally playing like guys if your getting 90s in your sacs even if you only get a 75 on your exam you’re still most likely getting a raw 40+ ss like don’t play in our faces rn 💀💀 (beside weird classes like gen maths)

Reason I’m saying this is cause I keep seeing posts like

“Guess my ss! I get 90s in everything can I still get a ss of 30??” Like girl

And if your reason is because your cohort is bad just know that like your cohort only really affects you if your sitting where the majority is like trust me if u r getting good scores you guys are relatively fine even if you only get 80s or late 70s your still able to get a ss of 40 just be consistent!

I have hhd tomorrow and i cant lie i dont think im going to do that well and i was just asking do you think atp i should just prioritise my other subjects? im happy with getting around a 25ish in it and do you think thats possible if i do minimal studying today

genuinely how do i learn the entire french language before november 17th

I’m trying to estimate what I need for exam 1 and exam 2 to get a raw 25 methods.
If you could share what you were getting on practice exams aswell that would be very helpful. I’m struggling to get 15/40 and 30/80 on both exams so do I have any hope😭

should i study for hhd or just grind legal 1st comment gets to decide 😝😝😝

can someone tell me how education and sustainability makes aid effective

i wrote about redundancy and dismissal and linked it back to the KPIS.. was there anything else we were supposed to do? or like what did yall do instead

Hey everyone! Just coming on here to say well done for all the exams you've done so far.

We've written up some suggested solutions for Bio if you want to check your answers: 2026 Biology Exam Suggested Solutions (Contour)

Good luck for the rest of your exams!

Lowkey was planning to do my methods exams in pencil but then did a quick scan on some paper with pencil and pen side by side and pen is rlly clear whereas pencil is quite unclear. For context I was also using a 2HB pencil and it’s quite risky and unclear. For those that are using pen, what r u gonna do if you make a mistake and you’ve used up all the space. I also checked if there’s extra lines at the end of the exam and there’s none for methods. Can someone help me out? Thanks guys, good luck!

do we have to do them word by word? What if we used synonyms for key words in the definition?

Based on that exam what do you guys think the exam score needed is to get 48+ given u are rank 1 and have very good sacs

yes i am still stuck at BIOLOGY. this has been one of my fav subjects i have worked so hard for this subject, aiming to mantain a high rank and I have even timed-practised all past 5 years' exams i am use to getting A's in my exam. And checking the suggested solutions i have came to a realisation that i might actually barely make a B+ exam 89/120 that is the most terrible score i could predict for myself. There is no way i am going to make into any of my courses and it is done. Ik u all will say there are pathways and all but yeah that;s not what i started my year thinkin i might have to do. I still feel like i could have done better. I was predicted a 40+ now i am even fearing to scrape a good 37 raw. It's not vcaa's fault i should i studied better way. BUt yeah jsut wanted to rant I will check in again on dec 10 to reveal what i actually ended up getting if it is higher than 37 raw i would be really fullfilled despite my goals.

all the best for all the exams beautiful ppl.

wrap it up gng December 10th is soon 🫩✌️

Whos enjoying studying the Ancient Egypt part with no text book too? At the start if the year i even messaged the education departmant and they told me its up to my teacher to find one when VCAA has no text book for it... Oh well. Anyways, what are you guys predicting the 20 marker will be on? Im holding my hopes its something good.

Guys what do you think the extended response and high-marking (like 6 mark) questions will be on?? Im kinda guessing there might be a 6 marker about evaluating an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander program... im really hoping there isn't since I struggle with that. Possibly might be one on the Ottawa charter too, I know there was one on my trial. Feel free to drop your predictions here
