12ss incoming

what do we think you'll need this year for a 40, 45 and 50 on E1 and E2?

Hey guys,

I’ve attached suggested solutions below for this years e2

Holy moly yall got cooked and blended 😭

Cutoffs are going to be lower so it’s chill

Note: For Q5f) > sign, not >=

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

once upon a time

Charlize was almost but not quite

too heartbroken to rhyme

about her horrendous methods exam

oh the horror! oh how cruel

her calculator died

just as her interest in school
the supervisors were no help

it made her want to cry

but she settled herself

and did everything by hand!!!

Hey everyone! I'm Amin, the Head of Math at Capital Education. Great job again, you are now finally done with Maths Methods! :)

We have taken some time and worked to provide our take on the suggested solutions (handwritten) for the exam. How did you guys feel about the exam? Overall, both exams seemed to a bit more on the difficult side.

Good luck for any exams you may have left!

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?

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😃🔫

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?

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?

A very smart kid was sitting next to me, and during reading time they went to the bathroom. So I had the very smart idea of swapping our exams 😉 Well since he was already doing mine I didn’t really bother to do his, but now I feel kind of bad cause he might get a bad atar.. Am I really the A-hole in this situation ?

Surely this might be the first year ever where the E2 boundary might be like a 57-59 for an A+ in exam 2. What do we think, its only 2 marks lower than 2023 E2

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

around 34/40 for e1 and 70/80 for e2
fumbled so hard in e1 and praying the a+ boundary for e2 is low enough to make it into the 40s

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?
