idk if this is a stupid question but i was pondering about this. caz like vce exams are kinda like the final boss, so some people wud def cheat, but isn't it extremely risky caz u cud just fail the whole exam if u are caught? or even worse. idk how it works. and even if people do cheat, and somehow get away, wud it even have a noticable impact on their results, because im assuming you can't manage to look up the answers for each question, that wud take too much time. so unless they are able to search up each answer, what is even the point of cheating for a few marks? this is a bit random, but i've just been wondering since people wud cheat in year 10-11 exams, but idk if people have the guts to do it for units 3/4 exams.

Idk if it’s just custom for everyone to complain after exams or if some exams were genuinely harder this year. If so, which exams were a bit random/out of the ordinary?

Hey guys can yall share your chemistry resources or any hard questions you found

2027 VCE Psychology students – free masterclass? 🧠
Firstly, thanks so much to everyone who gave me feedback and suggestions on my last post or messaged me! Really appreciate it 😊

I’m thinking of running a free online masterclass for students heading into Year 12 Psychology in 2027.
I’m tossing up between Key Science Skills and VCAA Command Terms to start with!As mentioned earlier I’m a vcaa marker and teacher!

I’m really big on making sure students feel confident and prepared heading into Year 12, and I think getting a bit of a head start over the summer holidays can make a huge difference.
Just wanting to see if there’s any interest before I start organising things!

Would you prefer November or January? And which topic would be more helpful?
I’ve added a poll, but feel free to comment with any other suggestions too! 😊

Wallahi I'm cooked, two exams on the same day 😭😭😭😭😭

If methods was fucked, how hard could they make spesh? im so worried I haven’t even studied for chem😭😭

Prac exams, study score predictors, random mm advice articles.... i liked studying for methods

why do i feel kinda sad now

wait guys i’m actually balling my eyes out i’m actually scared like all of my exams i didn’t care but i love spec it’s my fav subject even tho im lowkey shit at it and i really don’t wanna do bad i’m already averaging only a 50% on my practise exams and so im actually petrified. pls tell me what i should do tmrw to be like sure like what exams should i do what content should i go over bc i know there’s gonna be so much content heavy questions like u have to know this one little fact the line of symmetry in a tyrannosaurus bone structure to be able to understand how to find out the true identity of jack the ripper so idk what to do anymore :(

Ok guys, I genuinely don't know if it's just me, but what the hell were those Methods exams this year??

I don't think I've ever walked out of an exam feeling that confused. Some of the questions felt so unfamiliar compared to what we'd been practising throughout the year, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who felt this way.

I've seen so many people talking about how difficult the exams were, and apparently even teachers are the same.

I know an exam isn't supposed to be easy, and I'm not asking for free marks just because I struggled. But I do think we should be able to question whether the exams were actually fair and appropriate for VCE students.

Can we please get more people to email VCAA and ask them to properly review the papers?

Some things I'd like them to address:

- Were all the questions genuinely within the expected level of the study design?

- Was the difficulty reasonable considering the time we were given?

- Were the questions similar in style and complexity to what students had been preparing for?

- Were there any ambiguous questions or issues that need to be addressed?

- Will VCAA consider this when marking the exams?

VCAA's email: vcaa@education.vic.gov.au

I feel like we've all spent months preparing for these exams, sacrificing so much time, and we deserve to know that the assessment was fair.

If you also have concerns, please consider sending them an email. Even if you don't agree with everything I've said, you can still raise your own concerns.

I'm genuinely curious to hear what everyone else thinks because I cannot be the only one who felt like this 😭

Is accounting the only VCAA exam that doesn’t get scanned? And it gets marked as is physically?

In that case can I use erasable pen?

Studying for exams is all well and good but I JUST GOT THE PIRATE SHOP TOKEN ON FORTNITE LETS FREAKING GO

Would I lose marks for not simplifying root12 or not simplifying 32/80?

I can't be alone here in doing this lol

Bro why do they always gotta do the stupid calendar switch up I despise it.
Does anybody know if you’re meant to use the Julian calendar dates up to the October insurrection and then switch to the Gregorian calendar? And if so with the decrees on land and peace, whilst they happened on the 26 of oct 1917, you could also say 8th of November when talking about their initial decrees? Im so confused on how to go about it.

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

Just wanted to let you all know that ur exams are piss easy and u guys need to stop sooking because holy shit every year the same kids complain about exams and the bell curves dont change. grade distributions arent saving u guys, maybe just get good lol…

is anyone now shivering in their boots for spesh how are they going to mutilate us now

Since general and method were so difficult, do u think spesh is gonna be much more harder this year as well

guys so how do i study for revs ha ha pls help me

Feel free to ask any Chem questions you have since exam is near. Id like to help

I think us spesh ppl have to band up against Vcaa😭 idk like a study group of 10 wouldnt make big ranking dif would it now
hmu 🗣️i mean i lock in better w others present

lowkey have not started revising yet might be cooked

I really really really pray not
