What's up / Plan of attack?

[brenden]

Well, firstly - what's everyone doing at the moment? Cramming? Chillin'? Doin' backflips?

And out of interest, does anyone have a plan for tomorrow? Eg. Short answer first, multi choice, then extended etc?

Trying to find the vcaa sample exam answers!!!! are they even available

[Hannah_Banana]

Reading over everything one last time. Going over how to word concepts that are difficult for me and doing a few short answer practice questions. I have 1 more practice exam to do then I'm taking the night off!

Tomorrow I will do the multiple choice first to activate related concepts to assist in the short answer questions (what up semantic network theory?)
But if there's a short answer that I'm dying to do while I have the wording sorted out in my head  I will do that straight away

Sounds like a pretty solid strategy Hannah! Aiming for A+?

Thank you I don't want to put that much pressure on myself because I'm quite an anxious soul but probably B+ or anything above that would be nice It's hard to say because it depends on the difficulty of the exam and how everyone else goes

[brenden]

Fair enough! Well, you seem like a pretty conscientious students so I'm sure you'll do well
Good luck!

I would have liked to have completed one more practice exam but I was always going to take the night off. As such, I'm chilling (and this time tomorrow we'll all be chilling!). 

[brenden]

Yeah I haven't done shit since 3pm lol.
Chillin'?! This time tomorrow I'll be on my way to the Westgate after looking at the solutions lol

How has everyone been going sac's wise? What % would one need to average throughout the year to gaurantee a subject score of 45? Cheers duuudes

[brenden]

To guarantee 45+ you'd want high A+'s on the exams lol.
I'm rank 1 with 3 marks dropped but our SACs are relatively easy.

I am too ranked #1 but our Sacs are quite difficult. I am happy that they are this way because it gives a good indication of success on exams. No offence, but you would assume that you would drop more than 3 marks in the exam, thus potentially scaing your sacs down. However, if you do really well on exam, like I'm talking 95-98%, it probably wont matter haha. What do you think you got on the exam?

[brenden]

Well yeah I figured that lol.
Well I know I've lost 3. So I'll say 80/90 just for the lolz.

Oh woops did you mean drop 3 marks from your sacs or drop 3 marks from the exam? If you've only dropped three marks over the year the fuck thats good! On the exam then sames.

I was referring to you dropping three marks over the semester in sacs.

Both coincidentally. I'm on 97/100 for the semester (before moderation, obviously this will come down), but for the exam there are 3 marks I know I lost, so 87/90 on the exam, and then I subtracted another 7 to account for more mistakes which will inevitably be there.
