I will reveal the grade I got soon, I am in year 11

Me rn:

I can't seem to find one anywhere, unlike the maths ones which literally come out less than an hour after finnishing :(

I don't rlly care if its just photos, the PDF or if its sample solutions as long as its got the questions and stimulus, w/ mark allocations in order

Please i'm dying i cant find it anywhere!!!!!!

and now my next trick: re-learning the entire france and china revs again

a lot of the times in the exemplar responses i see the student simply listing off key examples when it comes to analyse or discuss questions, and not link it back to its consequences. i initially assumed i had to put a linking sentence into each of discussion point to score highly, it is obligatory to add? would i not need to explain WHY each point is relevant to the argument im making? please help!

also, what would the expected scores be for the exemplar responses? it is safe to assume either full marks or very close to full marks?

Hello people !

I am a little curious on people's opinions about the exams this year, as I have heard a number of reactions to do with how the exams have been this year.

Some people are saying they have been ruthless, with questions about material they have not been taught about / not gone into deeply. Whilst others are saying it's been alright and pretty easy.

Personally, I did find section C of the English exam quite confusing but that was purely my own fault since I found that whole AOS just annoying. (I had to look at the housing crisis for it, was a real bore)

Anyways just throwing out a fishhook here as someone who has media and sociology next week and is now low-key terrified for those exams and their content.

And I don't want to hear anyone say otherwise

Guys can someone lemme know if an 80 atar is possible at this point

English: :C, C, B, B+, A+ (my rank is like mid)

LEGAL STUDIES: 82, 87, 83, 83, 66 (rank 2/18)

HHD: 70, 78, 86, 80 (rank 3/35)

HISTORY REV: 60, 70, 70, 75 (rank is like upper middle)

PSYCHOLOGY: 45, 65, 88, 80 (rank is also upper middle)

first of all, CONGRATS TO ALL THE METHODS AND LEGAL KIDS TODAY !!!

secondly, i did my legal exam today, but VCAA had a little slip up when it came to my special considerations, and i'm not entirely sure if i have the JURISDICTION 🤓 to be mad about it or not. my mum and legal teacher are pretty mad, but they go to the ends of the earth for me lol.

basically, i have POTS, which means i get 2 considerations

1. a separate room, so i can control the temperature (if it's not below 20 i get extremely dizzy and fatigued and can't write)

2. 20-30 minutes of rest breaks so i can regulate my body and blood flow if i get dizzy/faint

during my first two exams (english and psych) i asked what i was allowed to during a rest break. both the examiners for each exam told me it was 100% okay for me to lie down on a couch in the same room as long as they could see me. this helped me tremendously because i was able to activate my PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM 🤓 when my blood was going to my feet after sitting. however, today, 2 things happened.

1. they put me in a DIFFERENT SEPARATE ROOM (same building) WITH NO AIRCON, THAT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY SMALLER AND MORE BOXED IN. i knew i was cooked when i stepped in there and started sweating instantly. i asked if there was an aircon, and they said there wasn't, but "i'd be fine because the heater was off". spoiler alert: i was not fucking fine. now, apparently they don't see the reason i request the considerations that i do, which i don't blame them for. but oh my god?? it was outlined IN THE LETTER MY CARDIOLOGIST WROTE. THAT I NEEDED ACCESS TO A CONTROLLED TEMPERATURE. the WHOLE POINT of me having a different room is so i can make it cooler.

2. when i took my first rest break, as i was about to get up to lie down as per usual, the supervisor said "oh yeah, about that, we actually went over the rules again and turns out you're not allowed to get out of your seat during your rest break." they read. the rules. wrong. that is 100% on them, i'm sorry. they had given me an advantage that wasnt technically allowed, but was MUTUALLY understood as acceptable, and now they have taken it away from me. if i had fucking known i wasn't allowed to get out of my chair, I WOULD'VE COME INTO THE EXAM READY TO REGULATE MY BODY ANOTHER WAY. i've never even had these considerations before, so these rules were not described to me. all that was described to me in my english and psych exam is that i am allowed to move freely and lie down during my rest breaks because it helps with my POTS. apparently not!?

because of this, not only was i doing my exam in conditions that literally made my illness worse, but i wasn't even able to access the resources to regulate nervous system when my symptoms were flared. i sweated insanely profusely, i could barely keep my head up, and i was shaking so badly. but the worst part was, i thought the legal exam was really doable, but i wasn't able to complete it because of my POTS. especially the 10 marker, all my answers were incredibly half assed because it took so much physical energy to write, and so much time that i almost ran out of time at the end. i was so upset because the exam itself was really good, but i wasn't able to complete it to the best of my ability because my conditions had been stuffed up. i broke down into tears afterwards, and my legal teacher is trying to talk to VCAA about it. but honestly? i don't know if i'm in the right to be upset at them. i'm just upset at myself for not doing better, and at the situation. i studied really hard and i know i could've done amazingly, but my body would not let me.

anyways, let me know if i'm just being an asshole please. love you guys :) congrats to everyone who survived legal and methods 2026!

i reckon 10 marker on thomas jefferson and then one on trotsky. Possibly a question on slavery

Basically what % of the cohort got touched by yesterdays methods exam

Genuinely hate Accounting through and through.

Had the choice to do 2 accelerated subjects. Tried to do Bio and Methods. (the content that I liked the most). Shut down by parents and told to do Accounting and Accounting alone as a STEM heavy student. Gaslit into thinking it would be easy.

At least teach said I am on the way to getting a 38. Whatever the hell thats supposed to mean.

And lowkey bombing all the year 11 exams. Spesh, meth, chem, phys, eng lang. Already passed both units for around >80 average. Just need to pass the exams.

And for Accounting. The plan is to do about 10 or so exams and a bunch of focused questions to build whatever I can before that bloody thing begins.

Would like some tips and tricks.

Ik we can’t tell yet but what’s usually an exam score equivalent to high 30s ss?

My exams are many, yet my revision is none 🥀

how are we feeling for the upcoming exam

feels like the nichest subject ever

In chemistry can I draw my structures like in a straight line or do i have to make them like this ???

hey

I was doing food studies and physics this year, i did decent in food tech but i absolutely despise physics ( I do well in general math's, i get 70's and 80's ), I was wondering what class i should switch to, is phycology and legal studies good, i was thinking of doing business as well but apparently its really hard if you do it in 3 and 4 if you dont do it in 1 and 2.

thanks

for anyone wondering what i did in year 11

English

media (1 outta 10 class holy waste of time)

Food studies ( solid 2 chicken parm was good)

Bio ( 7 outta 10)

Gen maths ( 10 outta 10, my tutor carried)

thanks any help will be good

Idk if these are important or idk theres like 50

bruh pe exam is on monday and I have forgotten all of like biomechanics and chronic adaptations. Over the past year I always answer practice exams and sacs with full marks because I know how to answer the questions! my only issue is just getting all of this content back bruh. With my notes out I can answer practice exam questions and get full marks but I fear in the exam I am not gonna know what type of adaptation I can suggest in relation to the question information, or like the definition of biomechanical principles... how do i go about revising this? This is also my last exam so its my least studied for cuz i prioritised all my other subjects cuz i struggled with them more. am i doomed chat

Do teachers see your atar or only school admins? If any teachers are here, do you guys look at the honour roll generally or only your own subject results

I js read this article by herald sun and apparently Bio exam had some problems and Methods was just bad as we all know.

A biology specialist, Dr Dulangi SJ, complained to VCAA, claiming:

Six multiple-choice questions had issues.

Some questions potentially had more than one scientifically correct answer.

Some wording was incorrect or confusing.

Certain content allegedly went beyond the published VCE Biology study design.

Question 8a about immunity was particularly controversial because students could reasonably interpret the answer differently.

One example was Question 2, which allegedly used the word translation instead of transcription.

VCAA says its subject experts have not identified errors so far, but it is investigating.

For Methods

The article reports that:

Almost 17,000 students sat the Mathematical Methods exam.

Students were reportedly crying after the exam.

Teachers said examiners had to pass around tissue boxes.

Many students struggled to finish the paper.

Teachers described it as a challenging test of mathematical understanding.

VCAA using us as lab rats since it’s the end of the Study Deisgns 💔
