Title: vcaa exams
Post by: naved_s9994 on April 26, 2010, 07:18:18 pm
Just wondering..

When I do, like a lisachem, a neap, insight, stav, or companies other than VCAA,
im getting most of my multiple choice questions correct. like on average i get
2 wrong.

When I do a VCAA trial exam however, I drop quite a bit more on mc's?

I find their questions a bit out of the range sort of.. very wordy, and confusing.

Is anyone else having the same issue?
- or is it just ME>?!!  :-\

No problem with the short answers on VCAA, or the other companies..very clear, and straightforward.

Its just the VCAA Multiple choice.

VCAA ones are always harder... I even think the short answers are harder than the company made ones.

Ok cool, then its okay - VCAA m'c are bull shit - and its like you do a Q, seems bullcrap - check how many % got it, and its over 50? Like FTW!
For some reason I dont find the SA to difficult to comprehend on Vcaa, or others (going smooth on em).

Ill ask my teacher tommorow what he reckons is the best way to tackle the real wordy wordy ones.

You have to remember that some multiple choice questions.. esp. the hard ones are very evenly distributed. Like a very hard one would pretty much have 25%,25%,25%,25%.

Figure out what is unneccesary fluff, then summarize the essential information in some sort of diagram
