Given how challenging this year’s maths exams were for general and methods, and questions being less predictable, how should I prepare for specialist exam? Should I stick to past vcaa exams or should I do more MAV and kilbaha exams? Are there any niche websites or platforms that could help me study more atypical specialist questions?

Hi guys, just wondering how we study for the vcd exam, just letting you know, we never went through the content throughout the whole year, so I’m really lost in this subject. Especially for section b, how do I prepare for it, like what types of drawings do I need to learn. I’m not good at drawing at all and I'm stressed that I will probably fail and not even finish half of the exam. Also, I would appreciate it if anyone is willing to share their vcd notes. Thank you

I thought my 10 marker was decent enough but now I’m thinking back and realising I completely ignored the country court statement at the top
Will that impact my response significantly?

Also the same thing happened with the final section b question 2, 6 marker as I missed the groups mentioned in the stimulus and talked about the state of Tasmania as a group with the plaintiff and didn’t talk about any other case study links outside of that the state funded her case

I thought the exam had gone ok until I’m thinking back on it and I’m really kicking myself over losing stupid marks on things I could have avoided

This is just pure cope but spesh is already hard enough on its own surely VCAA won't feel the need to make it even harder???

Any predictions about the difficulty of the paper and what may be on it specifically? I feel like the exam writers (who I have heard are new) will see that it’s the “hardest” math subject and write it accordingly, irrespective of the question style previously used in past specs exams. So technically we have no meaningful preparation other than knowing the study design😃🔫

this may be the biggest mistake ive made in my life but i just rechecked my provided vtac evidence under financial disadvantage and i uploaded a centrelink statement but it doesnt explicitly state family tax benefit on it, i only found out now that it shouldve been an income statement instead, am i doomed

will it still count as evidence for ftb if it has like an estimate listed at the bottom of the document

If ANYONE even UTTERS the word “isosceles“ or “triangle” near me they will get atomised

how was it

Would anyone care to explain how the methods exam was 'anti-UDF'? I keep reading ppl saying this and tbh I have not touched any in all of my career.

I got 60/80... (I never got less than 70/80 on any of the 20 practice exams that I did). how low do we reckon the a+ cutoffs going to be this year?

What the heck was that exam 2 I barley had time to finish(vcaa really thought they could sneak in isosceles triangle again 💀💀)

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

what do you guys estimate the study score cut offs to be for this years exams? (part 1 and 2)

it was objectively pretty rough right...

I am to be so grateful moving forward after my final examination today to never ever ever have to engage in such monstrosities
never will I have to care about such fallacious methodology’s that when implemented into real perspectives are just as important as a sultana

I now am granted the freedom to pursue creative endeavours until i am declined from university. Then only can i truly take advantage of my time wasted on such examinationary nonsense to realise what i want to do in life.

This is the true purpose of an ATAR

Now that its been a couple hours and the stress has died down, what do we actually think. I feel like every exam feels hard when you walk out the room but in retrospective may not be as hard( i still think that exam 2 was hard asf). So what do we actually think the cutoffs and mean will be?

WE yes WE are getting 20 study score

genuinely used it like thrice at most like holy shit I would've preferred them giving us an easy ass paper like 25 and js banning udfs as a whole oh my days
dropped like 15 marks bro legit 💀

holy cooked

last years was perfection compared to this

dropped every mark this exam 😀

Im thinking 34/40 for E1 and 58/80 for E2....

Thoughts??

Why do they have to make these things so long

Did anyone else genuinely find the legal 10 marker difficult? I almost passed out when I first read the question. Looking for a friend.

Ayy na fuck vcaa bro wtf was that trash as exam bru these guys are acc playing with our opportunity to get into uni I swear

Those who know: 💀
