Angry at VCAA

[azhtey]

It gets worse. Try accessing the VCAA website at 7am on December 17 this year.

the sms option won't let ya down

Yes it does. I got sms last year and it came 25 mins late.

lmao i'll be in Hong Kong on dec 17...currently three hours ahead of melbourne, so it'll be 10am over there. no need for me to pull an all-nighter or get up early  

and boy do i agree about the fkn vcaa site, i spent over half an hour just trying to access the methods sample papers  :x

[brendan]

dun repeat MM Cas dude, do further maths and ace it

[JL_91]

lol nah the thing is i was pwning mm cas up until exam 2, plus i can't stand the kind of maths they do in further and i tend to work better if i'm doing something i like

back onto the topic...i just really hate vcaa in general right now :x their websites, their exams..etc.

I'm more angry at the fact that they make easy exams, which totally just spits on people who spent so much time and effort studying.

Lol. Then i suppose you'll get 50 for all your subjects, ey?

i did not imply that . I lost 5marks on methods cause i did not look at my calculator. Lost 2 marks no spesh cause my teacher did not teach me slope fields BUT i was suppose to teach myself but it was like "Ill do it after i finish doing this chapter" and hence i forgot. And chem is not really my strongest subject. And my physics i just don't really care. But that doesn't mean i can't say the exams were easy. The whole freakin course for those subjects are simple

Yeah, the higher the standards are, the better at separation the exam is. I was talking to Ahmad about Chemistry vs Physics, and he was talking about how he's better at Physics, so it's unlikely he'd get a better SS in Chemistry, but I was saying: since you're standards for Chemistry and Physics are very high, the chance of you getting 50 in Chemistry and Physics are probably both about the same.

It's the same as when they set an easy exam, and moderate students can catch up to good students because of the easiness of the exam, and the inability of the exam to allow the student to demonstrate their abilities.

Methods last year *hrmph*

Methods last year *hrmph*

What did you do wrong?

[Ahmad]

I dunno, but I lost 3 marks. I'm more of a non-routine problem solver than an accurate person. I think. Doesn't suit VCE much IMO.

The Legal exam this year was definitely made to try and separate decent students from the better students which I think is particularly good for Legal because its a fairly easy subject if it asks for general questions but the more in detail/specific questions that mix up the course really split up the good students from the average ones.

Hopefully I'm one of the good ones  

What is really annoying though is that I and heaps of people I've spoken to had so much more to write (ie. in more detail) but had to try and streamline their answers so that they could complete the exam. Major stuff up from VCAA in my opinion. A girl in my class who was almost certainly heading for a mid 40's didnt answer 16 marks worth (from what she told me) out of a 60 mark exam! She knew everything though.

I guess it helps me out though, but can't help but feel sorry who may have been screwed over from VCAA.
