I BET THAT WAS VCAA's PLAN.
Get everyone to be so fixed on mastering the hard topics and then BAM. Bring in the easier topics that people wouldn't have focused on as much.
..Now that's how a true villain works

Now I'm just visualising the little old white-haired man and grandmotherly woman who ran my exam as Death Eaters
Exam stress is going to my head

Wow, and to think that some of us here were worrying about when cortisol was released in GAS..... it had like ONE MC on the GAS and that was it.!.. SO FREAKING PEEEVED. Trying to understand all the difficult concepts made me blank out on the simplest ones like classification.

I KNOW RIGHT?! I wanted GAS, I love explaining stuff about GAS :(

Lol we had two old ladies, and I swear they looked so evil.. (either that or I'm developing some not-so-nice interpretive biases)

in regards to those people who were at the beach and living it up whilst we were studying it up, it just shows how even though the exam was in a sense, simple, we're the better people who can put aside social things when something important is coming up, so eventually, if we all go to uni and there IS  a hard exam, we'll be the ones who will ace it.

But there will be way less of those people at university than doing VCE, unfortunately for us.

hey guys, just a thought, i dont mean to sound up myself in any sense, but we are the students who take schooling seriously hence our results are better. Just because we thought it was easy, doesnt mean it was for the rest of the state that don't care. so i wouldnt be too worried about the A+ cut off because in the end we think it's easy because we perform better, because we study. if you get my gist. I assume it will work out like mid-year, a good cut-off with an even distribution. Essentially the people who study, are the ones who get the best marks.

rant done :) so chillax everyone :)
what a year it has been, thank goodness it is over, bring on a new chapter!

Psychology- 46!
Theatre studies- 37
Biology- 35
English- 34
Further maths-33
ATAR-87.15 so pleased!

any questions related to Psychology or Theatre Studies please don't hesitate to ask :)

yeah, vcaa was a bit sneaky with this exam, they had no taste aversion and they had in the detailed 'disorder' study only two questions, a two mark and a FOUR mark one! Good luck with the results :)
