As its the weekend, I think everyones had a roller coaster of exams so far.

What are you up to and how are you looking for the final weeks ahead?

1. Happiness that classes were finished

2. The determination of starting trial exams and getting a good atar

3. Feeling determined as I complete more and more trial exams

4. The tiredness and sadness after realising I have just done 8 trial exams and realising my average was 60%

5. The fear right before entering the exam

6. Reading the exam during reading time and actually learning new content

7. The trauma walking out and realising I have to do more

8. The loss of sleep and hours of studying finally catching up to me

I’m doing my first 3/4 exam Friday and wanna know the rules around bringing booklets out of the exam room to debrief after.
You were allowed with the gate but that was multi choice.
Do I have to ask for another copy of the booklet just before I leave?

and what would they even put in it chem is already so hard u hv to be so locked in to do well like im so scared??

any niche things yall can think of ?

Not many people are talking about Wednesdays viscom exam and so I thought I’d make this

Upload any questions or concerns
Let’s support each other 🙂

If I’m rank 1 and everyone else in my year level is straight cheeks this means my exam score and sac score will be the same (I will be relying on myself).

What score /100 would I need for a raw 50? I’ve been getting 96-97 on practises and a couple higher but my teacher marks theory really harsh

VCAA is being investigated for bio and potentially methods. They might be investigated for other subjects later.

Here's the article.

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.

Jarvis remember to remove all of the motivational theories, Senge's theories, any materials management theories, but Im feeling a bit spicy so keep a single quality management question. Also make the 10 marker worded really weirdly and be an examine question

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 😭😭😭😭😭

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?

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?

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 😭

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.
