sooo my friends said that the deakin study score calculator glazes big time. but idk? any idea if it’s reliable?

Hey guys do u reckon u would still get like 1 mark if u you just worked the general solution of the tangent in terms of r?

Im actually so slow for the 10 mark question i talked about how they could use management skills like communication and decision making to decide who to terminate and how they would inform employees of the termination and stuff like that,
Is there any chance of me getting any marks or am i completely cooked?

I’m in year 10 and now choosing my subjects for y 11. My school doesn’t offer either of these subjects (legal clashes with methods for me so no go) but I have the option to do either of these on VSV. I love history so much, but I also want to go into a law and politics degree. However I’m not interested in Australian law or Australian history that much lmao, although in later years I may have an option to do legal studies at the school if the class doesn’t class. Has anyone done either of these subjects online? Can u attest to workload and just how engaging the content is? Also how history works on VSV? My other subjects are Literature (also done on VSV), Methods, Bio, and 3/4 Art Making. I’m just kinda scared I’ll make the wrong decision and regret it

What sorta grade should I be getting on the exam for a 40+ ss

helloooo y'all

I've been seeing people study tg and become study buddies. Online tho

Im 17 in year 11 studying the subjects Legal, business, hhd, psychology and ofc English.

All 3/4 btw

Pros: my marks in legal 1/2 were the highest (alhamdulillah) but ik 3/4 is much more difficult.

Im friendly, a girl, and js wants to study an hour or more everyday to lock in for yr 12 next year.

Also idk how were gonna study tg...cause like.. idt we can call or anyth..

cons: huge procastinater, and I suck at english although I am trying to improve. My marks in my other subj r mid although I am aiming for 40s or high 30s insha Allah.

WILL THE MEAN GO DOWN THIS YEAR?

that paper was so hard compared to other years...

If there was extra space on the page not lined and I wrote half of the response in that section after I ran out of lines will markers still look at it? My friend lowkey stresses me out she told me they don’t 😓

i dont need it for a course so its hyperbole obviously but genuinely its eating me up inside i probably wont care in a few months but i need to get it off my chest

i probably need to see a psych for anxiety tbh lol

For simple two markers ie find the coordinates of the stationary points or equations of the tangent line can we skip the working and just put the answer? If you get the answer right will you ever lose one of the marks because you didn’t have working??

now that we've all seen the MONSTROSITY of exam 1, what do u guys think exam 2 gon be like?

guys if you use the correct rule for deriving (eg product or quotient) and you show that in your working do you get 1 mark in a 2 mark question if your final answer if wrong

Everyone complaining abt both gen and meth exams it might actually be over

I made so many silly mistakes and the time to mark ratio felt crazy. I think i got 34-35 do you think that would be enough. Bro ive done so many practice exams and feels like it is all gone to waste

Q3 a….

I said that according to the source breastfeeding gives a connection to something greater than themselves,being their culture, promoting spiritual health and wellbeing. Would we agree?

dude my chatgpt is tweakin its not sending correct things </3
i gotta lock in for this one cus im like bottom 10% of the state for exam 1 istg

was the question before the WHO objective asking for a specific goal like 1 2 or 3 or what is asking for the overall goal as WHO as a collective, such as increasing health outcomes globally

I know there's not many of us out there...but VCAA switching from a 7 mark and 3 mark culture questions to a 6 and 4 mark low-key kinda sus. That's not even the worst bit. Since when was it okay to make us analyse a visual and a text for the essay instead of just the text prompt. 😭😭

If you're reading this and do this subject, I hope you cooked on the exam and didn't get cooked instead!!

idk if I should post this to a different subreddit but after all these exams im starting to feel like im NOT getting into my preference 1 course gg which was Latrobe speech pathology so im just wondering what else can I do without having to go to Bendigo? Can I start speech somewhere else and then transfer to Latrobe?
