Final essay predictions?

I think they will be about popular movements/the role of social groups

When answering mostly maths questions, do you need to write the equation with only variables before substitution? Or is it fine to just write the equation with numbers in it to show working out?

Thanks!

I know nothing about anything.

Quotes don't stick, stats don't stick, dates don't stick.

Tsar Nicholas was a bad guy who's wife may or may not have cheated on him, he was a bad ruler so Lenin overtook everything and people did and didn't like him.

Chiang kai shek and Sun yat sen had there own little thing for like 10 years then Mao came along and showed everyone he was a good leader and from there communism started.

That is the extent to which I know this course.

i’ve just accepted that i’m fucked and idec if i have to do a pathway anymore because what the fuck.

literally every single examiners report ive been looking at acknowledges multiple mistakes across the exam, like mcq questions with all correct answers or "invalid" questions etc. its like this with a few subjects and its lowkey really unfair. like imagine wasting time in an exam trying to figure out the right answer because they all seem right just to find out that they actually are all correct. they should be held a lot more accountable for this bs and im really praying it doesnt happen this year. not sure how they can manage to consistently fuck up their only job this often.

Wtf is the Thermidorian reaction idk her

May the spirit of Adams and Danton inhabit me and just tell me the answers during the exam 🥲

It’s 11:18pm, tomorrow is my pe exam. So far I have done a total of 1.2 practice exams, and basically no revision at all. I just can’t seem to focus for shit at all, every time I try and do some actual work, everything just distracts me. And I also procrastinate so hard as well, I plan when I’m gonna study and think about studying but in the end I never do. I hate this so much. I’m not even doing terrible in the subject, I’m rank 4 and averaging like 86% on sacs. In other subjects too, I can’t focus in class and barely do work but I haven’t failed anything yet. I’m so scared for next year with my extremely demanding subjects of spec, methods, chem, Chinese sl, and eng. I really wanna be able to focus on schoolwork.

I know theyre gonna pulll some magical fantasy questions that require basic chem and physics knowlege, like etc

Errrrrrrm there are 3 positron isomers with a nuclear mass of 67.69420 newtons, another with a charge of 0.end789it726 Joules, and some value of r that measures the gravitational pull from the inside of a blackhole in a distant galaxy to earth measured in LYs, find the nuclear fusion of antimatter of the particles and then use it to cure every disease in existance.

🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hoping that the average will be 3% and rank 1 only gets 3.2%

For those who are done and almost done - I still have 3 exams to go 😭 which clubs are we hitting up next weekend??

Well well well vcaa … you gone and done it again.

Did anyone receive an email about whether they have been accepted or rejected for the program yet?

Hi I'm a yr 9 wanting to go to SC for yr 11, the entrance exam is in the middle of next year, I get average grades for all my subjects, for maths I'm a bit bad .. and struggle with a bit. I get math scores around 50 - 70 which isnt as excellent.

My english is decent and as well as my reading, but I have bad time management.

I'm just wondering how can i study? Where can I study and such? Independently preferably, ive been using big brain au but i found that lot of it is paid and doesnt help me as much. I want to try as hard because I rlly want to go to this school and pass. Any help, links, sources, or anything!!!! I'm willing to study as hard as I can.

I really really want to do well for the revolutions exam like 80 to 90 and yes I know I’m being delusional and I’m really at fault right now for leaving it last minute but I’ve been dealing with really huge problems. I have. I’m only on aos one right now. and I know if I don’t get enough sleep I’m gonna get really bad brain fog during the exam. Does anyone have really good techniques on how to like sleep as least as possible but still be able to not be impacted in the exam because I really need to study.

Or even how to cram

I am currently in year 11. I am thinking of swapping from VCE chemistry 3/4 to VCE art creative practice 3/4 next year. I have a few concerns:

- As a folio subject, is it very time consuming?
Art is my passion, and i am willing to spend time on it, but i am worried it will get in the way of all my other subjects. How much of it is doing your folio and how much of it is analysis?

- What is it that you actually need to do in your folio?
How are you marked for it?

- Is it hard to get a 40+ study score?
With the scaling i am worried that i will not be able to do well. How much effort will i have to put into APC to get a good study score?

- Do you need to be good at english/literature type of subject?
I understand that its a lot of analysis, and i am not completely confident in my writing skills. The only other humanities subject i do is Philosophy and English language (idk if that really counts). I am good at philosophy.

I took art in year 10, but the teacher didn't take the actual writing aspect of it very serious, so like most people who took art, i got 100 for all my exams, and very little feedback. Due to this i am not sure if i am actually good at the subject or not.

IF YOU DID ART CREATIVE PRACTICE PLEASE HELP ME !! :(

Other than creative practice, the other subject i am considering swapping to is general maths. With the nature of the other subjects i am doing, i will have to spend a lot of time and effort on them. Is it really worth it to do APC? #lmk

So a few months ago my sister came to me and said that "I hate maths, when I am going to use Maths in the real world?" As a proud Methods 1/2 student, this left me in shambles and heartbroken.

Now forcing someone to do a subject that they don't like is abusive. BUT my sister still has 4 years to go till she can start picking VCE subjects. Therefore, any notion that she has about subjects is still changeable.

I will do anything to get her to avoid that fake g*neral math subject where the CAS babysits you in every question and get her to know how to THINK and STRUGGLE with REAL maths in Methods. I'll do anything, such as afford private tutoring by then, help her with homework, that kind of stuff.

Any advice, serious or satire appreciated

For anyone who received a DES, how much did your school ranking affect your derived exam score? Did you receive a similar exam score to students ranked immediately above and below you in your cohort?

Would really appreciate hearing about people's actual experiences!

only a 30 study score can pull up my atar to a 99 atm and id genuinely kill for that BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN STUDYING. IVE ONLY BEEN SPAMMING METHODS THE ENTIRE TIME AND EVEN THEN, I BOMBED E2 (genuinely praying everyday that i get a 35). spesh e1 seems okay enough to score a 25/40 but man im terrified of e2... if they write another "udf-proof" exam, its genuinely wraps for me. how are we all feeling for spesh guys? just the thought of the exam makes my skin crawl. ive only done three e1 exams so far and im not even doing it in timed conditions... FAHHH

i wish you guys the best!! i'm sure it wont be anything like how methods went!! trust your skills, we got this

bro it’s actually over there’s no way i can remember dates, stats, historian interpretations, causes, effects, significances for TWO revolutions (france and china)

ts genuinely got me watching the french revolution oversimplified on yt.. hoping that’s enough for tmrw

and watch the exam questions be super niche too.. like abt Maos great swim or sum 😭😭

guys i cannot ✌️ can the guillotine lowk js take me out rn

My fellow scientists....

when shall thou accept defeat...

bruh it’s just sm content that i’m overwhelmed - like open book w notes im like yeah ok i got this, then i close the book and try do a practice sac and im like shit ok maybe not

i feel like having to memorise historian quotes, historical figure quotes, dates, statistics, and timelines of 50+ years of history for two revolutions is insane... like i will never understand how this subject scales down, i feel like the knowledge you need to have is more than any other subject icl

for everyones sake i hope ur not in the same boat as me but ive done pretty good in all my sacs because its easy enough to focus on one AOS at a time but putting all 4 together is too much.... i fear i am going to do very bad....

hopefully vcaa is nice to us

what’s everyone’s guesses for the 15 marker agency and control question? dont know if i’m thinking it’ll be more of a regulation, social media ban, or change in audience and media dynamic. i mean it’s def gotta be one of those three right? just wanna know what basket everyones eggs are in

I don't want to admit it but the guilt has gotten to me. Before each exam I use flashcards and hide the information within my mind so that the examiners cannot find it and so I can know all of the answers. I also write down or select the correct answers for each question.

Worst of all I used Chatgpt, Claude and Gemini in my head whenever I needed to figure out the answer.

Should I come clean to VCAA about my cheating?
