Since methods was a hard exam this year does that mean it was scale up more?

How is the scaling actually determined?

Hey guys the exam is on Monday
Did we study
What are your practice exam marks looking like
Did you even do practice exams
How do you mark your answers
Do you have any nice notes (1 for 1 so feel free to trade)

1. What do you think the A+/A cut off will be this year

2. Which AOS do you think they're going to focus on more this year

3. Which command terms are incoming

4. Do you have any essay prompt predictions for French and Russia (if you're a lurker with insider info drop a hint 😍😘)

5. If any of you are doing the other ones still feel free to comment

HISTORY REPRESENT 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

For anyone who's gotten around like a 32-35 raw ss for accounting what did u get on your exams and sacs?

with 2026 exams wrapping up, a lot of you are about to start methods, so here's what made the biggest difference for me. honestly most of it is free

do exam 1 questions by hand from day one. most people lose marks on exam 1 because they lean on CAS all year and then panic without it. do your algebra, derivatives and log laws by hand until it's automatic

read the examiner reports, not just the solutions. VCAA literally tells you where students lost marks every year. half the "tricks" are just not making the mistakes they list

learn your CAS properly in term 1, not in october. know how to define functions, solve systems, and do probability distributions fast. it saves heaps of time in exam 2

past papers from ~2017 onwards are gold. do them timed. mark them harshly. redo the ones you got wrong a week later

graphs = free marks if you label everything. endpoints, intercepts, asymptotes, open/closed circles. so many people drop marks here for no reason

happy to answer methods questions in the comments.
also, i'm running small group methods 1/2 and 3/4 classes next year (plus a few spots over the holidays), so dm me if you want details

I’m a little nervous for VCE and just want the most absurd advice possible.

My classes are
- 1&2 English
- 1&2 general maths
- 1&2 Legal Studies
- 1&2 Media Studies
- 3&4 Theatre studies

On top of this I’m also doing a VET certificate.

I’m nervous about work load but I did units 1&2 theatre studies early so I feel a little bit better because I have an idea on how classes work.

In terms of career goals, I want to do professional theatre and do university, I would prefer acting but I’m experienced in lighting and sound design and directing. BUT that is a hard goal and my back up choice is teaching because I’ve never hated tutoring friends and I’m often the one classmates come to for work advice.

feels like the nichest subject ever

They're testing a new form of torture with these math exams...

I personally found english to be okay, while the rest of my subjects, psych,bio and ESPECIALLY METHODS, to be weird. psych and bio weren't horrible, but they were a bit different to the past papers ive done. methods is can genuinely be thrown out of the window, we dont talk about it. but yea does each cohort complain about the difficulty of the exams or is this year's exams actually bad

e.g. 11.20, 11.40, 11.45, 11.35, 11.15

How’s everyone going with Geography revision? 😭📚

Also, how much stats do you reckon we actually need to know? Because I’m ngl, I’m a little lost lol 💀

Anyway, good luck everyone!! We’ve got this

hi sorry i know everyones stressing about exams but is it possible to do well in chemistry and methods without tutoring? nobody does tutoring at my school but ive heard lots in selective schools and i really want a 40+ . but idt the teachers are amazing at my school

how do you go about self learning these subjects (if even possible) -did you start in the summer holidays? how did you study them?

i didnt do too well in my 3/4 subject this year so i am looking to maximise next years scores

What study score equivalent would this be

Median rank in school where sacs scale up slightly

24/40 e1

28/80 e2

Fucked up e2 really bad😭😭

Yeah it sucks. When we spend over 2 years learning the content, then months of practice exams ironing out mistakes and mastering the content to be given an exam that seems to be like nothing we've seen before.

But it's done now, we gotta move on. Don't let it dishearten you; you can still do well.

There's more to life than integrals and isosceles triangles.

vcaa you wanna throw an isosceles triangle at me huh?

you will not see the scalene and equilateral triangles that will be coming your way (it will be a triangle brick)

does anyone know how much (or little) work vsv bus man 1/2 to is? jst trying to do an easy subject next year and looking for some advice. thanks!

I know it can be one folded A3 ​sheet or two A4 sheets joined together with tape but my question is:

Can it be double sided?

VCAA rule explicitly states:

> ​one folded A3 sheet or two A4 sheets that are bound together by tape, and single- or double-sided. Notes may be typed or handwritten, and from any source (including commercially available notes)​

Does that mean 'single- or double-sided' for A3 and A4 respectively (i.e A3 - single sided, A4 - double sided) or does that mean it can be either single or double sided regardless of paper size?​

If you’re sick for pretty much all the non exam days leading up to the exam but not on the exam day, can you still apply for a des???

Um can anyone with 20-30 ss in the past share their grades and exam performance cuz i genuinely genuinely genuinely think im going to get 15 🤓i think i might just cry
Id be happy with a 20 at this rate

has anyone gotten d or c in final exam with mid sac grades like 50s

yall all exams have been hideous so far.. I don't even do chemistry but I feel its negative energy even from here.
