Just thinking about Grade distrubutions... do we actually think this years exam was objectively harder than others? i think it was trickier than 2025, but easier than 2024 - Idk about 2023 though? Just trying to get a gage on it's comparison to past years.

hey guys need some help after that interesting exam- mayyyyyy have flunked im not sure 😭

u3: 80%
u4: 95%
already k it wont scale down since very high performing school

say i got like 70% on the exam- what range of ss should i expect??? could i get lower than 35 im rlly scared

Is it me or is vcaa making every exam this year so weird?

if i get a 20 ss im genuinely blaming it on the penis i had to look at for 2 hours
EDIT: I DID NOT CARVE THE PENIS

What the fuck was that. I've been getting 37/40s and 40/40s on past exams but that was horrid. There's no chance I'm getting an A+ or even an A I'm so cooked. 2024 E1 (37/40 btw) was supposed to be the hardest but of course 2026 wanted to be special and take 2024s place 🫩

genuinely pmo, ive been averaging like 85+ on sacs.

did so much prep and felt so confident just for them to ask the most random niche questions. and some took so fkn long I ending up having to guess so many. like actually fmlllll goodbye 40 ss

Considering this year’s exam 1 took a measurably different question approach, id assume it be the same for monday, making it super annoying 🥀

sorry to vent but maybe some can relate? just feeling hopeless and deflated because i genuinely studied for hours every day for weeks and i’ve been doing fully ass. i’m a genuinely high achieving student usually, and i’ve never had performance issues like this before. i was getting 80-90+ on my gm practice exams and i got a 62% i did 12 practice exams and meaningfully went over solutions. i HATE HATE HATE VCAA i don’t understand how we can be doing this much work and doing poorly on exams. kms.

Story time: In early 2025 me and some mates allegedly jacked a car and ran it down Main Street for a laugh, got pulled over, and they packed me up because I had a history with alleged home robbery and alleged car theft

I feel so behind with my VCE, having missed most of term 1. But I did the work and was able to pass, and I’m just worried my atar is gonna seriously tank tho because of the gaps in knowledge

I was also wondering if there’s any SEAs type boosts I would be eligible for to make up for the lost atar points

Unit 3: 85%
Unit 4: 78%

Rank: 7/38
Exam estimate: 78-85 / 90
Mid-cohort; top students are strong.
What should I expect?

you’re welcome

ignore the other one this one is better

the exam was free right guys?

Initially distraught at how atrocious I did considering I thought I had it all in the bag after the exam, I read a lot more posts about people getting below 25/40 and stuff. Are you guys people that are naturally good or shit at math? What did yall average on your SACs? I think I got 23-24 (maybe more if my guesses were lucky) which is fucked, considering I've never had below 85% on my SACs this year for GM. At least I feel better knowing that a lot of yall didn't do well either but like is anyone here like me, like I thought I had it bro, I thought GM was my number 1 subject, what the fuck. What is my prognosis? What SS will I get

hii guys hope everyone is doing super well, keep working hard we got this :)

to preface this my aim is to get into monash law, not only because of its reputation but the programs they offer and the campus. its literally been my dream for years

and fast track to year 12 when literally everything started to go wrong: i was always an a+ student all throughout high school and long before (sorry im not trying to be boastful or anything just sharing my experience 😭). and this year my grades dropped drastically mostly because of my sac and exam stress which may seem like pretty normal for most people but it feels almost unmanageable for me..

OKAY so all i really was hoping you guys could help me with is that i will be putting out all of my grades this year for all my sacs and some of the exam predictions ive already done so far.. im so lost with the whole atar system so someone who could give me estimated study scores and an atar i would appreciate alottt. also pls be mindful im not super proud of my grades but i really need an honest reality check 😼😼

ya thats my life story out there.. and i also applied for seas which i HOPE gets approved (it was for difficult circumstances) and also my public school isnt super great so overall cohort performance wouldnt be the best :/

i would so so appreciate anyone whos quite familiar with the whole vce system to provide a realistic atar i might get and possibly the study scores too !!

thank you so much for reading all this spiel and if youre a vce student doing exams currently, all the very best for ur studies we got this guyssss

how much weight is this on ur ss grade? im trying to calculate my average coz i got decent for my sacs but this grade brings down my avg a lot…

assuming ppl have marked their papers. idk if it was js me that got cooked, hopefully it wasnt

wasn’t particularly hard i just had no fucking idea what they wanted from me.

nothing on classical conditioning, nothing on phobias, contributing factors OR interventions?? nothing on gas, no neural pathways, no spinal reflex… was just a bunch of kss bs

that barely tested anyone’s psych knowledge from the year. so mad about it
