An exam papers drive was setup prior to the exams this year and hosted on the GMail drive; which most of us know of already (if you don't then look it up on google). However recently it stopped working (kept giving some error). This was because there was an update that was needed for the software...
so if you are looking for a download mirror here it is:

I HAVE GREAT NEWS '08ERS THE PASSWORD HAS BEEN RESTORED BACK TO OLD ONE :D
No-one will ever redistribute the password again, I can't manage another loss of an useful resource. :( :(
:)

Nobody told me about it until after exams were over :P
-
oh god... i must be so behind time it is unquestionably sad...
*genuinely asking upon the condition of my untimely death*
well, u no wat i want to ask and i know u'll say no, but still....
-
what is the email drive and how does it work?
-
well... so much for us 08'ers... still in the dark...
just a nudge at it again... we're not going to be that stupid to give that password away, right? PM us if u have to, or create a mailing list...
please...? c'mon!!!!
-
like i said...google the software : GMail drive for more information.
its basically a folder which can be accessed from my computer (like your normal C: drive) when you install it go to my computer and find the gmail drive icon..it contains subfolders for each subject etc...to copy the files there its as simple as dragging the file you want from inside the drive to your desktop. its more or less a 'gmail explorer'

wait, someone changed the pasword again? I thought it only happened once? Can't someone just keep a back-up copy of everything (or would that take up waaay too much space??)
Because if you're not going to give out the password, what's the point of having it?
-
...those people who keep changing the pw should stop. its so anoying.
-
I'm glad u fixed it applexy!!
Perhaps now that we're all free from vce, mayb 1 of us old BoSers who know the password should create a back-up thingy, so we can allow access to the '08ers that don't yet know the password, but run minimal risk of losing all the papers permanently? I'm happy to volunteer myself, but I won't be able to do it for a couple of weeks, on account of going on holidays. Is there any1 else with slightly more free time?

How come the papers just aren't stored on a password-protected part of this site itself?
If someone gives me access to the gmail drive, I'll see if I can get all the papers and store them somewhere as a backup :)

I suggested that a while ago, it didn't seem to materialise tho. Perhaps it will in the future, but for now ppl r a bit busy. It would take a lot of bandwidth as well, I'm not sure how enwiabe is managing any of that. I tried 2 upload/email 1 2 my email, jst 2 figure out the best way 2 do this, but I have no idea wot I did :shock:

I should add, you'll have to wait for applexy to give you the password if he so chooses. It's nothing personal, I just swore on some family member's life about not re-distributing the password without permission. :wink:

i dont think we know anymore...prav was controlling it at one point...then i took over and im fairly sure he's running it again...but who set it up in the first place? no idea.

Meh, I spose ppl take a promise seriously if you offer something precious as a surety. Anywayz, I jst don't want to get blamed if something goes wrong again >.<
-
I downloaded all the exams from the gmail drive and put them here :)
-
um... question:
i thought for a minute that these were actual VCAA exam papers that are pre-stolenly-released...
as apparent as hell in the shining sky (what a metaphor!), they are not, in which case i ask
why were we hiding it? in a sense that nothing was said directly, and hence my assumption above... *sigh*
well, that question dont really need to be answered, but it's part of my curious quest of knowledge (if ur a cruel epistimologist then it's my curious quest of "information"). :D
well, i certainly hope that daniel, please keep the download list up to date! i owe you not my life, but something very valuable, like my stockpile of super-glue... hahaha
-

Yeah, I'll try to keep it up-to-date. I've already got a few more exams I need to add to it :)
And eww, super-glue.
I hate that stuff.
Don't ever get it stuck between your fingers, it's not good (happened to me when I was a lot younger) :P

happened to me as well, except i wasn't very young. the bottle burst on me :S
how'd you get it off? mine are still stuck :D
-
so uhm whats the p/w again?
Ffs... we just finished saying we weren't giving the p/w out 2 ne1 AND daniel's gone to all the trouble of hosting it so no1 needs the password. Please, for future reference, read before posting. I won't smite you, but only bcoz it's hot and I was already pissed off when I read your post, and I know better than act in the heat of the moment.
-
ha, touche
awesome daniel, i would say i love u but i'm a guy, so that's kinda wrong (smite self)
and about super-glue, the best for getting them unstuck is with engine oil :D yes, i'm done it plenty of times, and once my watch to my wrist...
LOL!
-
They're gone from my server for now, but PM me if you still want/need exams. Access is restricted now.
