Three weeks out from the exam, i would be interested to see how others are going, nameley, how many papers we have done and the highest score we have gotten.
For me:
Exam one:
-14 done
-highest score: 40/40 (neap 2009, CSE 2009)
Exam two:
-14 done
-highest score: 78/80 (mav 2010, VCAA 2008)
anyone else care to share??
-
Highest score I got in an exam 1 was 39/40 and 73/80 for exam 2 (cant exactly remember which paper). Still struggling to cope with the extended response questions in exam 2's though.
-
:O wow you guys are fricken geniuses.
the highest score i can get for a practice exam...was 78% in the VCAA 2009 exam 1.
but then again, i did do that one at the start of term 3...
anyone care you rub their genius off on me?

out of intrest are putting more effort into methods or spech or is it fairly even?
-
just did my first one under exam conditions
34/40 on Heffernan 09. I'll pick up the pace from today with spesh and methods :D
-
34 ain't bad for a first go......
-
How did you go on VCAA '07 exam 1+2?
-
haven;t attempted it yet, i'm doign all the 2010 papers then working backwards. I'm in the middle of the 2009 papers atm.
-
Are you up to the stage where the majority of your mistakes are silly errors, and only about 2-3 marks you lose on stuff you don't know?

How does it work with redoing a subject?

i believe they just take the higer score regradless of the year
-
1 exam 2 heff 10 96%
14 exam 1's lowest's TSSM 08/09 -> 34 and 30.
-
Done 15 full sets.
Highest Exam 1 - 39/40.
Highest Exam 2 - 71/80.
Lowest - don't want to talk about it :(
Are you up to the stage where the majority of your mistakes are silly errors, and only about 2-3 marks you lose on stuff you don't know?
Yes.
-
my lowest was 46% on tssm 2010 exam two >.<
Are you up to the stage where the majority of your mistakes are silly errors, and only about 2-3 marks you lose on stuff you don't know?
i don't think i'm quite there yet, my exam results tend to vary a lot, i need to get them to become much more consistent
-
6 pairs so far...and 0.o I have just been doing the hardest exams I can find lol...I can't even finish them on time >.<
<3 Derrick Ha exams hehehe
-

yes. Most of the time its my handwriting where 2 = 5 and 4 = 9 gahhh
-
done about 14 sets, all pre 07.
no marto, z = 2 :P
-
That's why you do a
Z. Can't be mistaken then.
-
That's why you do a Z. Can't be mistaken then.
ahah yea thats how i write my z's, yet they still manage to end up looking freakishly similar to 2 -___-
-
i'd say 75% of my errors are stupid. Frustration to the freaking max! zzz hence I die in exam 1, losing 3-5 marks... but in exam 2 I used to lose 15.
-
How harshly does everyone mark themselves?
If you find that you're getting 100% on "Show that" and "hence" question, or you're not subtracting marks for forgetting the tilde under the 0, then you're inflating. :police:

you don't lose marks for forgetting the tilda in exams you know....
-
exam 1: -finished 8
exam 2: -finished 5
and i just printed 5 more exam 1 and 2's to be done on the weekend
highest: vcaa 2008 exam 1: 40/40
[just did that today xD]
all my trails were done under exam conditions with a similar marking system

serious!
I want your advice, I have spesh chem eng and lit. considering that I have a week before chem,
do you think I should just focus on specialist and english and a bit of lit and then do chem maybe every third day because I have that week?
-
get on msn and we'll talk iffets
-
I think I've done 5 exam 1s and 3 exam 2s.
Best was 39/40 and 76/80.
-
Damn you guys have all done heaps...
for school practice exam we did an exam 2 minus the MC minus 1 ER question, since we had less time.
got 44/45 :( calc screwed up and f'd up my particle graph

For my methods prac exam (the first exam 2 i did) i dropped 10 marks... which would have dragged me down to like 40 SS, thus spesh would be <40? very logical :P
-
I hope not :/ wouldn't want to get worse than my methods (though I didn't try as hard in methods last year)
-
Does anyone feel like their exam 2 marks are fluctuating? With my exam 1's, I feel like I can do decently on most company papers but with exam 2's, I only manage to get 65+ in the VCAA exams. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing...
-
err recently my exam 1 scores have been worse than my exam 2 scores, my situation is opposite to yours xD
-
err recently my exam 1 scores have been worse than my exam 2 scores, my situation is opposite to yours xD
I'd rather be in you situation than mine, since exam 2's are worth double exam 1's :P

Well my last exam 1 was 27/40 and exam 2 was 69/80 0.o
-
But that was probably Derrick Ha's exams, or something similar...
-
I'm really bad at exam one because I'm careless, but I think I can survive exam 2..
-
i seem to go well on exam 1's that are hard because i focus more, lesser so with stuff like insight and MAV.

Does that mean you'll have less focus on the VCAA exams? XD

totally, i'm adveraging about 70% (56/80) but as between that i've gotten 35/80 and then 78/80. And lol, it's not a good thing :(
What paper do you guys think is most similar in difficulty to the vcaa exam (yeah, i know this is probs in another thread). I reackon MAV is closest to the difficulty of a vcaa exam.
-
I reckon MAV specialist is surprisingly more challenging than MAV in methods for some reason. I mean, not cause of spesh being harder than methods, the gap of expected difficulty in contrast to other papers is smaller in spesh than in methods.
-
Just got 64/80 on an exam 2 and TEN of my lost marks were from stupid dumb mistakes. I desperately need tips on how to eliminate such mistakes, or I'm screwed.
-
Yea at the beginning of my marking I was fine, towards the end I screwed up, didn't read the question properly, and in MAV 2010, there's that question about the path of the particle..I honestly do not think I can write a paragraph like that about all it's speeds changing etc...
so it was kind of frustrating to see all my marks go like that when Iwas holding on so well.
Anyone find some MAV solutions dodgy?
-

IMO dumb mistakes ahve two causes
1. Your thinking process isn't right. Like when you see a certain word or problem, you don't think in the right way so you're bound to get it wrong. You have to instate the correct mental procedures in your head. E.g. when you the word "real" int he context of a polynomail equation, the concept of conjugate pairs should autoamtically come up in your head.
2. You aren't concentrating hard enough. Amount of focus you exact upon the exam is inversely proportional to the amount of stupid mistakes you make. And sometimes, you are simply too tired to focus properly.

LOl yeah, did yous ee theri massive two pargraph essay on the speed of the particle changin??? and in question one, they gave and extra solution (i think part c) and there were two muli-choices that were wrong (these mistakes were picked up by my spech teacher so it's not just me thinking they're wrong)
-

I feel your pain. The problem is, I am making more and more dumb mistakes than I ever used to. Multi choice used to be my bread and butter. I would ace it every time. Now, for one reason or another, I always fall into stupid traps.
Kyzoo, I know you posted up your methods for reducing careless errors somewhere. Can you link me.
I feel my exam technique is horrid at the moment.

is this what you were refering to stone cold?

Yeah, thanks. :)
-
0.o I've totally changed my attitude towards exam technique since Unit 3 exams, so whatever I've posted on this forum abuot reducing careless mistakes isn't reflective of my current mindset.
Basically, exam technique is 30159318051380 times simpler than I previously believed it to be.
Simple Formula. Proness = Decently healthy lifestyle (so your mental capacity is maximised) + concentration + the correct mental procedures programmed into your head.
-
Make sure they are programmed in Haskell or something like that rather than C or Java, u don't wanna write x=x+1 on a math exam.
-
If anyone wants to do an extremely easy exam, however i do think it's a nice one since it tests understanding of concepts, then NEAP 06 exam 1.

No, MHS doesen't have standards, its just that less people at our school get less than 95 than anyone else, or something like that.

Perhaps you can't identify, but realizing that you made a mistake in a VCAA exam - but having to wait a month for your fears to be confirmed is a personal fail. :)

This. VCAA exams are less 'messy', you can actually tell if you're going completely wrong, whereas with external companies... messy seems to be the only way get to the correct answer.

very true. tho some years the vcaa exams do get quite messy too. tho never as much as the external companies.
-
NEAP 2010 exam 1 last question is the most messy i've ever seen. you go through about 40 lines of intense working with subscripts and superscripts everywhere, only to end up with a 1 digit answer. Bad handwriting would incredibly detrimental to your study score if that was on a real exam... it was worth 6 marks or something

havent even done any vcaa exams yet. hoping they are easier than the other companies
best for exam 1 was 35/40 (happy with that i think)
exam 2: 70/80 =/

Unless you're getting full marks every time, disagree.
-
Crap I'm so far behind you guys, I've only done like 6 exams total (exam 1 and 2)
-
Would you recommend that i only do exam 2's from now on?
On exam 1's 40/40 unless some silly mistake somewhere so then it goes down to 39 or 38
On exam 2's im getting only around 70/80. usually get stuck on 1-2 questions somewhere which will be -8 and then a few silly mistakes such as not simplifying, not rationalising.
I just like exam 1's cos they only take <30 min but don't really improve anything other than confidence

is it just me, or was tssm 09 exam two MCQ harder than what you'd expect?

agreed, all of them needed working out.

What company exams are similiar in difficulty to the actual VCAA ones?

MAV, Hefferenan usually.

-
Wait... VCAA is easier than all the external companies exams right? And the exams get harder as you go back in time?
That could be a possible reason... i'm getting crappy marks on the ~2005 ones, and the more recent ones are a lot easier and the questions actually make sense.
-
I don't think that you can surely do your best in the exams, but rather, ensure your AVERAGE is considered one of the best. :).

Got my highest score on an exam 2 today, 79/80 on vcaa 2007.
I would probably cry if I could do that next Monday!

VCAA is generally easier, just the wording haha, in fact if the external companies stop going on about garbage and actually made 'easier-to-interpret' questions, they're all basically asking for the same things as VCAA exams.

I also find VCAA uses less tricky mathematical notation so it's easier for students who are good at mathematical procedure, just not learned in the language.

Ive' decided not to do TSSM and I never do TSFX. Do you guys think this is stupid? I've reasoned that TSSM is just being impossible, worse than chem 2009 so I won't bother. I did do a bit of tssm 08 or 09.
-
Tssm i did exam two and one for 2010 and vowed never to touch tssm again and i have compeltely avoided tsfx altogeather. If i was more organised like i was last year with methods, ideally i would have done them but this year i'm really pressed for time so not bothering and now just tacking the VCAA papers between now and the exams, might also give some other papers a go, but defs not tssm or tsfx

yeh ive basically avoided tsfx, although i tried one for chem it realli put me to the point of breakdown.... i wud not recommend any1 doin tsfx especially not at this crucial time where u need 2 build up ur confidence

i say do them, no harm at all when u think about it really. yes, some of the questions may be a touch over the standard were expected to be at but thats no reason to avoid them. given the genuinity of their questions, its heaps more fun attempting different styles of questions compared to the same crap over and over again :P

don't have time to do them lol

TSSM teaches you how to work quickly and not fall into panic just because you see a question you can't immediately grasp.
What I've learned from doing hard exams is:
~ For hard exams, always do short answer section for Exam 2 first before multiple choice
~ ALWAYS USE YOUR CALCULATOR WHENEVER POSSIBLE IN EXAM 2, RESIST THE URGE TO DO STUFF BY HAND JUST BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW TO
~ Don't be scared that you got something wrong and recheck your solution immediately after writing it; if you do this you will definitely run out of time
I dunno, doing TSSM and Derrick Ha has made me a lot more immune to panic. I don't think they've actually enhanced my mathematical ability, but rather amplified my ability to focus and my self-trust.
I got raped really hard on my first TSSM, then I went OK on my 2nd one because of the lessons I learned about how to deal with hard exams from the 1st one.
1st one (TSSM 2009)
~ Exam 1: 26/40
~ Exam 2: 64/80
2nd one (10 practice exams later) (TSSM 2010)
~ Exam 1: 39/40
~ Exam 2: 77/80

~ Exam 1: 26/40
~ Exam 2: 64/80
2nd one (10 practice exams later) (TSSM 2010)
~ Exam 1: 39/40
~ Exam 2: 77/80
I could just imagine what I would have got on it if I did spesh. Totally raped, thats what I would have got.

Finally feeling ready... (about time too, exam is tomorrow)
Consistently getting very high 30s on exam 1, mid 70s on exam 2. I suppose that would translate to a study score of ~ 44-46?

If that is on external exams... then that equals full marks on vcaa :P

No, those are for the VCAA exams.

Well... 5 marks lost over both exams in 2009 was ~43?

wouldve been higher?? dont think 1 mark = >1 ss score drop?

:o
-
Nah, I reckon it would've been 45-46, maybe even 47. But I'm not sure...
-
kinda saying spec = relatively easier than further (kinda)
-
Thats just based on a student from last year getting 43 with -5, exam was incredibly easy though.
-
Crap SACs?
-
Crap sac's would be an aweful reason.His sac's couldve been waaay harder.
-
I meant his ranking - the part which matters. The raw mark itself has no bearing on the moderated score.
-
Based on the stats, by losing up to 12.5 marks (2.5 from GA2 and 10 from GA3) that renders the lowest possible A+, i.e. ~38. Thereby losing 5 marks which is 60% less 12.5 marks, that would mean the top 60% of the 10% that are granted an A+ lose less then 5 marks. So the top 6% of the state lost a maximum of 5 marks which will mean if you do lose 5 marks, you will get an SS of 43 or 44 so statistically speaking that is right
-
^That's worse case scenario.
-
last year was RIDICULOUSLY easy compared to other years of VCAA, yes losing 5-6 marks overall yielded somewhere between 43-44 SS, I can personally confirm this along with several other cases :)
