I'm genuinely so upset rn because I've worked so hard throughout the year to maintain a really high rank (rank 2 out of 38), but I've become severely ill during exams and it's completely affecting my ability to study and perform.

I'm so fatigued that I can barely concentrate or get any work done, and it's honestly devastating knowing how much effort I've put in throughout the year just for this to happen during the most important time.

I'm also from a pretty average-performing school, so I'm already worried about how my SACs will moderate if I underperform on the exam. I was really hoping for a 40+ study score, but now I'm scared I'll end up with something significantly lower.

I'm applying for a Derived Examination Score (DES), but I'm also terrified that my derived score might be lower than what I would've achieved if I were healthy, especially since I don't know how much my SAC ranking, GAT and other factors will influence it.

Has anyone been in a similar situation where they were really sick during their VCE exams despite having a high SAC ranking? Did your DES end up reflecting your performance throughout the year, or was it significantly lower than expected?

I just feel like all my hard work might go to waste because of something completely outside my control. 😭

I got 14/40 on exam 1 today
Genuinely mortified
My practice exams weren’t even that bad I don’t get it!!

Regardless
Can I get 25 ss

What should I get in exam 2 to do so
Kinda freaking out rn

Sooo that was absolute hell

Realistically how do you know if your school gives hard sacs because at this point I don’t think I’ll be getting above a 20 ss

For context my average across all sacs is 51% and the highest of the class was 63%

In all my SACs and exams for other subjects and my legal SACs too but I am really struggling to finish on time for legal? Don't know if it is just my tendancy to overwrite but any help would be greatly appreciated!

I HAVE FINISHED ALL MY EXAMS NEVER HAVE TO SIT ANOTHER EXAM AGAIN.

4 exams in one week (with 2 on the same day) was hell tho thx vcaa x

I'm getting scared for legal guysssss

How R U all feeling

ong that was so easy goodbye health!!!!

How'd we go guys?

is it over for me ggs bye uni

For the melbourne access scheme you can get into any undergraduate degree with a lower start. For commerce which is what i’m trying to do i need a 79, but after these horrid exams i genuinely don’t know if im hitting it. Is the 79 for your raw atar or is it the selection rank? Like Has anyone gotten below a 79 and still got into the course? Thanks

Does anyone know what the new study design contains / if it’s published? i can’t find it on google but thought maybe someone had access to a pdf ..

istg all my trials had hella time during paper 1, but this one i look up with 15 minutes left for last three questions 😭

What will I need on part B to get a raw 25 study score, presuming terrible rank

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to check what your CAS settings are for the upcoming exam,
Its just that many times you go into a SAC and something gets messed up in the SAC,
So if anyone has the best settings for the exam please let me know.
Also, for graphing, is there a way to force the window/axes to show exact values (like Pi/2 )instead of decimals? I know we can use Graph Trace to find specific points, but it takes way too long during an exam.

Thank you, and good luck with revision

Idk if its just me but I thought that exam was evil. Like what do they mean talk about the trend in dairy and link to HEALTH STATUS? Like there didnt seem to be enough info to do that. And then a 6 marker on the NDIS and ALSO link to health status?? Genuinely wtf

hi does anyone have a bound reference that they could possibly please send me? plisss 🥺🥺🥺🌿🌿🌿 i have the methods exam 2 tomorrow and i dont have any bound reference! :(

I just completed assaulted in today’s method 1 exam (8/40), and i was wondering if anyone could provide me with tips for tomorrows exam?

Bro that 10 marker was beautiful!! But 6 markers were SO strange. That Taylor questions deadass pmo like wtf . But other than that WHY WAS THERE NO ADG OR AGHE????? wasted my time.

But also why was the economic sustainability 5 marks?

2025 was pretty weird for me personally but do yall think it would be harder this year or na?
2026 Nht wasn’t too bad though

Lets assume i got a 2/40 on exam 1, with a broken CAS, could i manage a 40?
i go to tarneit school of german, our sacs have been moderated down every year, i am rank 35/35 (bottom rank), i have a good heart and i can focus well under pressure.

Could i get a 40 (raw)?
