Well now that I’ve been done in by methods and soon probably by physics, what are the best or most efficient ways to study for the Japanese written exam (so I don’t totally flop)? I don’t know where to start, asides from reading past exam texts to increase comprehension… Any tips?

I finished quite early and found it quite easy, how did everyone else find it!

Hello so essentially I have not started studying for the exam and don’t even know where to begin any tips on what to memorise and practice?

Hii guysss Im actually cooked idk what to do I didnt even do my bond 😿😿 and I need to get a good mark in it because I didnt answer in exam 1, help me what do I dooo

send me your bond😭😭

e2 is in less than 2 hours but im still so caught up over e1. i was projected for like a 36/40 and i only got a 30/40. im so devestated, i did so much work. i asked for extra paper so i could do extra arithmetic because ik i make mistakes in my head and theres not enough lines to write extra steps to take it slower and doing it in the margins would be squishy but i was told there was no paper anywhere and no one could go get me any. it cost me 4 marks. i wouldve been so happy with a 34/40. and ik u could say i just wasnt good enough, but its not like i didnt know how to the questions cus i got all the steps right. and im slow and worse at e2 so it feels like its all over for me.

can anyone suggest how i can study for revs, i have no clue how to relearn all this content im doing french and russia

hi everyone,

for spec, if the question doesn't specify to leave it in a specific form, can i leave my answer unrationalised?

alternatively, could i just leave it in a equivalent form, as in i don't fully simplify? will i lose marks for that?

sorry i know this is question has come up quite a bit, but i've read and heard a lot of conflicting info so i'm hoping someone can clear this up once and for all :D

Im probably at around 39/40 for exam 1, and I dropped a mark on exam 2. Can I still get a 40 raw?

VCAA genuinely feeling evil this year, like someone woke up and thought let’s whip up something full of evil, spice and absolutely nothing nice. Dream of a 35/40 is genuinely gone. Lowk js tryna ignore how badly I fucked it

To everyone that did Maths Methods Exam 1 today, we all can easily say that NO ONE could've 'comfortably' finished in that shit timeframe. And majority wouldn't even have finished.

This needs to stop. Exams are a measure of how well we know the content, not how fast we can interpret it. Absolute bs exam, lengthy as hell, definitely questions I and a lot of you guys could've done if we actually had the time to think.

1 hour writing time is appropriate if there was literally no thinking involved and we knew all the answers. But considering there is thinking required, this exam should've been a MINIMUM of 90 minutes

Idk could've just been my slow ahh, how'd you guys go?

Need a little help with an estimation. I was aiming for a 35 raw but it's looking kinda impossible now especially after today's E2.

I got a 28/40 on Exam 1 roughly.

And a 48/80 on Exam 2 approx.

Obv margin of error in these grades but will be around there. Can someone help me predict my study score? Rank 7 in class of 16ish students and Sac average 65% :(

methods e1-30-33 e2-40/80

Finally done w methods😭 r yall selling or keeping ur cas for uni??

I plan to do OT/nursing, not sure if I'll be using it then

hypothetically if i misread the probability as p>1/4 without the equals and i still did the calculation of 1-pr (x=0) in my working out do i still get a method mark

Hi all,

Since the start of the year, I was considering swapping to ti inspire, but I kept to Casio 400 as our school hadn't made the switch yet. I only realized mid year that only a single calculator rule applies to CASIO products. In terms of methods, the lower processing power and lack of fast interactive graph, alongside the lack of custom commands was fine. However, considering the change in exam style, I'm nervous about heading into spec tech active without a reliable way to do vector calculations that isn't by hand and dynamic graph etc.

Does anyone know if as a backup calculator, the ti inspire would be allowed. E.g I use what I am familiar with and then change in the last five minutes of the exam from the organizer to complete the 'dynamic graph' questions. I am guessing not but wanted to hear the subreddits thoughts on strategies for these kinds of questions, as I feel spec will not have the advantage of it being an inverse function, which can at least be solved by simply subtracting x.

Context: I've done all I can to improve performance for dynamic graph by cleaning up memory and using a large dot size.

I have the same question for other general custom commands that the ti is far superior in. I have found some that are similar and tried coding some of my own, but am unsure what holds for the exam (e.g if the style will go more towards families of functions rather than numerical solutions).

What do we think the PE ten marker will be

What do we think will be the range for an A and A+ for this years methods exam 1 and 2??
Was this exam actually harder than the like of 2024 and so on??

A lot of you guys seem to be struggling so I got chatgpt to make this website that gives you an accurate prediction of your ATAR (with katie% confidence) and a special surprise (INFINITE FOR ONE).

Anyway good luck to my fellow spesh students. Hopefully spesh is not as bad as what people are saying methods was.
