Title: Did the VCAA website just crash?
Post by: Mafioso on November 01, 2013, 10:46:55 pm
I keep getting a 'Service Unavailable'. Either there are too many keen students on the website or my browser is playing up.
Is it working fine for everyone else?

mod-edit: To save time searching through this thread Index of resources pillaged from VCAA website (has first 8 pages of stuff currently)

Works for me. Did you need any files from there? I'd be more than happy to attach them to posts or upload them for you :)

But you're on here right now? So it must be working.

Are you typing in the URL correctly? I used to not put the "www." at the start and it therefore would come up as unavailable. :P

Is that the same error you have Mafioso?

WAS ABOUT TO POST THEM but beaten, it's worth saying though that itute.com has free worked solutions to all VCAA maths exam so that's a resource you can use if the website goes down again or if you need a more thorough explanation than the reports offer, ie steps of actual working for each question

Good luck monday!

Works for most people who it wasn't working for before, but apparently not working for some, so give it a shot anyways:
To be able to save and download the exams so that they come out working right, add in ".nyud.net:8080" after the .au part of the address for the normal vcaa page
I.e. for the exams page use this http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au.nyud.net:8080/Pages/vce/exams/examsassessreports.aspx



Old method that doesn't work as well below: Just use the stuff above.
Okay guys, Google's Cache to the rescue! :D

This should work, but is effectively what was up a few days ago.
e.g. The front page http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Pages/index.aspx
And the Exam page http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Pages/vce/exams/examsassessreports.aspx

But every time you need to click a link you will have to put it through here: http://www.cachedpages.com/
The google cache should do the trick.
e.g. Last years methods Exam 1 http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Documents/exams/mathematics/2012/2012mmcas1-w.pdf
The exams don't show up well, e.g. equations and such are bad, but working on that now.

Hope that helps.

We think some of us have access to our ISP's cache's, so the site isn't up but we have access to an old copy of it (that is it appears that we're viewing the page as if it's online, when we're really only seeing an old, saved copy).

I.e. For us who have 'access' to it, pinging the ip just keeps timing out and it doesn't ping back.

I really wish people would read back before posting.

But seriously, all you have to do is add in the ".nyud.net:8080" after the .au once, then each link you click will work and you'll be able to get pdf's with the maths set out properly.

e.g.

Thing is... I read back already when you quoted yourself on BasicAcid's thread. It's just that I don't know the url for the 2012 methods cas exam off by heart... and I doubt many others would know either.

So rather than having to google for the url of whatever then put the ".nyud.net:8080" in (I understand your method shows math better), just two clicks on the google page to get to the cache.

Oh, and erm this is what happens when I click on the link you provided lol (it doesn't work anymore? might want to check it or is it just me?)

doesn't work for me o.O

Thing is... I read back already when you quoted yourself on BasicAcid's thread. It's just that I don't know the url for the 2012 methods cas exam of by heart... and I doubt many others would know either.

So rather than having to google for the url of whatever then put the ".nyud.net:8080" in (I understand your method shows math better), just two clicks on the google page to get to the cache.

Oh, and erm this is what happens when I click on the link you provided lol (it doesn't work anymore? might want to check it or is it just me?)

doesn't work for me o.O

The link in the other thread should have lead to all the subjects listed, which as clicking the links have worked for most people we've tested it with that couldn't get it before, should have worked. i.e. All the subjects/exams http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Pages/vce/exams/examsassessreports.aspx

Odd though, it's working still for us, and about 3 people who I've checked with who can't access it normally still... hmm (and well it's easier to navigate after one copy paste than to keep having to go to googling specific exams...). And it's not as if it's coming out of my cache, I tried things that I would never have opened before, i.e. a random polish exam.

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me access all further exams/assessment reports from the current study design. I already have 2009 and 2010.
Thanks  :)

Not yet I don't think, you're probably just one of us lucky ones that are getting a cached version through their isp, even though it looks like it's up (well that's our theory atm anyways (credit to stevensmay)). Pinging the website/ip address is still giving Request Timed Out. Give it a try on your phone without having it connected to wifi, as it's going through a different connection, it'll probably not load.

Has anyone contacted VCAA? It's the middle of the exam period and it's a governmental webzone, it can't just crash for two whole days.

i think he's asking a more technical question. some companies work on saturdays as well. I'm sure he's just wondering whether the VCAA fits that category :) lol haha

@Guys who wanted Methods, Chem and Further stuff
Methods
Further
Specialist
Chemistry
Physics
English Language
Accounting
Not that easy to use but I'm sure you can work it out.

If anyone wants any other subjects please just ask.

Other posts in this thread:

Enjoy :) http://www.mediafire.com/folder/9qu9tfsb9yec6/ATAR_Notes

There's also a few posts with attachments in this thread too. If anyone wants to find them, just paste the links to them.

Using Google Cache to find exams not posted yet
If there's something that you really wanted and someone hasn't posted yet:

(sorry if I'm a bit late to the party, vcaa website was working fine for me before so I didn't click on this thread :P)
Works for most people who it wasn't working for before, but apparently not working for some, so give it a shot anyways:
To be able to save and download the exams so that they come out working right, add in ".nyud.net:8080" after the .au part of the address for the normal vcaa page
I.e. for the exams page use this http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au.nyud.net:8080/Pages/vce/exams/examsassessreports.aspx



Old method that doesn't work as well below: Just use the stuff above.
Okay guys, Google's Cache to the rescue! :D

This should work, but is effectively what was up a few days ago.
e.g. The front page http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Pages/index.aspx
And the Exam page http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Pages/vce/exams/examsassessreports.aspx

But every time you need to click a link you will have to put it through here: http://www.cachedpages.com/
The google cache should do the trick.
e.g. Last years methods Exam 1 http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Documents/exams/mathematics/2012/2012mmcas1-w.pdf
The exams don't show up well, e.g. equations and such are bad, but working on that now.

Hope that helps.
