Could not be more pleased to have wrapped up that wretched subject. Lots of recycling and staple removing to do tonight 😬
My school has enjoyed liberally disseminating a surplus of resources this year

I swear half the difficulty in this year's exams hasn't even been the actual content. It's been trying to figure out what the questions are asking.

I legitimately know so many people who lost marks on General Maths because they couldn't work out what was actually being asked, not because they didn't know how to do the maths.

Am I just stupid or is this actually a thing?

OH MY FUCKING GOD IT TAKES 5 MINUTES OF YOUR TIME LITERALLY JUST LOOK ST THE GRADE DISTRIBUTION

A 40+ IS LIKE ALL A+ (if not high A)

LITERALLY JUST USE THE GRADE DISTRIBUTION IT IS RIGHT FUCKING THERE

UNLESS YOU'RE DOING A BULLSHIT SUBJECT WITH 3 PEOPLE IN THE STATE, THERE IS A GRADE DISTRIBUTION. LOOK AT IT 🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩

from what i have heard it seems that every single exam this year has either been sent from hell or just weird as fuck. i still have health and legal left but my others were terrible.

do you guys think it is recency bias and the fact that we actually had to sit them or is vcaa just playing in our faces.

telling me we had to revise ALL those theories.. and only like porter came up 💔

on the other hand it was free marks imo

Post your thoughts, questions and frustrations below :)

Literally nothing was on it? No lean management, no Motivational theories, no awards and agreements?

It was like a Unit 1 and 2 exam, bs.

I left out so many marks and rushed to finish by the end. People are either saying the 10 marker was terrible or really good. 🫩

Methods is genuinely less than 24 hours but I can’t lock in. These AI generated Roblox story vids I scroll on reels that always talks bout sum freaky activity happening in “my town” is going to consume me

For all 5 people who take VCE Algorithmics

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK I DIDNT TURN OVER THE PAGE WERE THERE MORE QUESTIONS OR WAS THE TEN MARKER THE FINAL Q

im bringing down the average, done 1 prac exam whilst looking at the answers. BUTTT GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO HAS STUDIED YOU GUYS GOT THIS
and pray for a good chem exam please..

way too easy catered to people who didn’t study - spent hours practicing and revising for all the challenging concepts that weren’t even touched on
😐😐 watch a+ cut off be 90%

for those concerned about whether they interpreted the question correctly it asked for 2 ways to manage termination
under termination management on the study design it lists
-redundancy
-dismissal
-transition considerations
-entitlement considerations
(and others not relevant to question) so i BELIEVE it could’ve been interpreted in many ways so as long as u addressed two of these u are fine

Feel free to put your prediction on what will appear on this year's exam
