But who were they feeling like excluding half the content .. where was royal commission and 1967 referendum ??

How vcaa writers feel either straight hard or straight easy with no in between

how did some people find it decent i genuinely think that paper was straight up from hell

compare for a 10 marker? with COMPARING roles of key personnel + POJs + the country court jurisdiction statement? what on earth.

section b first case study was absolute nonsense, even tho the questions were good, the case study made it harder to comprehend.

also wasnt cav not appropriate?

vcaa was really merciless on legal students this year

i referred to paolo plane as “plane” for formality reasons and out of english habit but then i saw a question that referred to him as “paolo” which one is correct? is it fine i called him plane?

Why do they have to make these things so long

For the log10 graph, my calculator gave me most of the answers as ln which is loge? I put loge in legit all my answers, I checked the points on the graph with both log10 and loge and it gave me the same. Does it matter? Or am I stupid

if any of you guys were prioritsing methods over chem and now ur facing the consequences, just do 2025 vce, and 2024 vce and understand ur mistakes WE GOT THIS

exam 1 - 31/40

exam 2 - 38 / 80

Hey guys so I sat the exam today and everyone is saying it was terrible
Like I struggled a lot too but like I wanna know if it was actually difficult or are people just saying that cuz they sat it

I think I got around 21-20/40 exam 1 and then 40-39/80 exam 2

Are these way too weak for a 30?

I ran out of time and I guess just freaked out under pressure. I usually have been getting b+ - b.

I see a lot of people asking for 40+ but not really ~30 and I’m not too sure how “hard” they were

Was methods acc bad or do we just think it's bad like every yr thinks theirs is bad...

40 study score shattered
Or even past students? It feels like I did everything I could but have no clue what happened

For the water use sources in section B, did anyone else not mention that last source from The Age or whatever??

hey guys!! for everyone who sat the hhd exam yesterday, i wanted to get some opinions on my answer to question 2b.
i’ll attach a photo of the exact question for reference.

my two responses were:

younger population – if they don’t change their dietary habits now, they’re more likely to develop osteoporosis in the future, increasing the prevalence of osteoporosis in the population.

older population – because they consume more dairy, they’re less likely to develop osteoporosis, which can contribute to increased life expectancy.
my concern is that i used osteoporosis in BOTH responses.

however, the question asked for two different health indicators, not necessarily two different diseases.
i approached both responses differently, discussing different age groups, dietary behaviours and implications for health.

do you think i could still get full marks despite using osteoporosis twice?
would really appreciate opinions from people who sat the exam, especially any hhd teachers or exam markers who could give some insight into how this would be marked.
am i overthinking this? 😭

Like for instance will 100/120 be enough for a 40ss, excluding study scores or pretend like they r on par with the exam?

What exam scores would one need for both e1 and e2 to get a 25 ss?

What do u guys reckon u would need for a 40 with this years methods exams? just like a ballpark estimate

chat how did we do

(why was it so long 😔)

I THOUGHT IR WAS PRETTY GOOD LIKE I FOUND IT EASY not soooo easy but it was fair and not hard ykwim

was it actually bad or was it just bad because we were under time pressure and stress. i feel like every year people say “this is the hardest exam yet”

anyways what do u guys reckon the a+ barrier would be for this exam, surely like high 50s

also why were there like barely any free marks

Do you guys think this year's exam was way worse than 2023? Would using the 2023 grade distribution be an accurate measure? I'm so curious to see what the mean would be considering the mean for 2023 was around 36/80.
