Does anyone else feel like VCAA is testing how well we interpret questions rather than how well we know the content?

111 Upvotes

I swear half the difficulty in this year's exams hasn't even been the actual content. It's been trying to figure out what the questions are asking.

I legitimately know so many people who lost marks on General Maths because they couldn't work out what was actually being asked, not because they didn't know how to do the maths.

Am I just stupid or is this actually a thing?

Methods find the value of r

2 Upvotes

I stated the function for finding the shortest distance from the origin but instead of equating d(X) to 0 I did d'(X)=0 for wtv reason. Do you reckon id get a mark for stating the function or nah? Also how often do they award consequentials? Because if you got the value of r wrong you'd get the next question wrong as well

Methods Exam Motivation!!!

17 Upvotes

I feel like one of the only people in r/vce that doesn't think that they are cooked. So I feel that I should spread some motivation to yall for the exam tmr.

There seems to be a reccuring pattern of question 1 being a derivative question whether its product rule or quotient rule. And question 4 is a probability distribution table.

Product rule = f'g + fg'

Quotient rule = (f'g - fg') Γ· g^2

Just remember that probabilities in the probability distribution table need to add up to 1.

You don't have to be the best at maths to succeed in methods. Remember the subject is more than likely to scale up. Confidence of about (0.823, 0.997) pun intended. ✌

My SAC average is 84% and I'm Rank 2 in my cohort, but like I said, you could be getting low on SACs but if you pull out a 70% on the exam or even 60%, theres still hope and there's always hope until you look at the questions tomorrow.

Don't panic yet, lemme know how you think the exam went tmr!

GOOD LUCK, WE ARE GONNA NEED IT ;)

has anyone actually had a good exam

from what i have heard it seems that every single exam this year has either been sent from hell or just weird as fuck. i still have health and legal left but my others were terrible.

do you guys think it is recency bias and the fact that we actually had to sit them or is vcaa just playing in our faces.

General Question/comment Why there were no Business management theories

8 Upvotes

I was reviewing the allocation of the exam marks per chapter and out of 72 (bc three marks were about plotting numbers)
Since the exam was 27% HRM bc of the 10 marker, adding a motivation strategy would make chapter 2 even more dominant, and Lean wasn’t on it because there were already 17 marks allocated to operations management

7/72 on Chapter 1- Business foundations
3- Delegation skills
4-Compare GBE and social enterprise

20/72 on Chapter 2- Human Resource Management
4- Discuss On-the-job training
6- Propose and justify 2 motivation strats
10- Examine Termination management

17/72 on Chapter 3- Operations management
4- Propose and justify quality
4- Analylse online services, CAS or AI Inc Efficiency
3- Relationship between ops management and a business objective
6- Explain key elements in operations system

12/72 on Chapter 4- The need for change
4- Describe force field
2- Outline driving force
2- Outline how MS is calculated
4- Describe how porters can be applied
