Year 12 Class of 2013 Discussion Thread

Hey guys.

Is it against VCAA rules to have AOS2 material on SACs for Outcome 1?

If you want to report your school, go ahead

Although in honesty, can't see much happening about it.

I'm having the same issue for physical education. The teacher is saying there will be questions on the SAC that aren't in the textbook, although he did provide is with some notes. A lot of the content he's teaching us isn't in our textbook but rather in a bunch of notes he provided us. I don't like the idea of it really, but I'm confident for an A+

There are plenty of really awesome people that will help you (I probably won't, I'm a little stupid )

That seems like an excellent option. Thanks

I know the feeling, not so much im bad at it, more so that it's really boring... mainly because my class doesn't talk and there is this one very annoying person who shits me...

I guess I'm similar to you in that I find it to be quite boring. The classes just seem really, really draining.

Might be due to the teacher, in the way she teaches. Jumps around with a variety of ideas, instead of really helping as get the basics right, going over exam/SAC type questions. Jumbled theory a little bit... I don't know, it might work for some, just not me. And yeah, I think we all have that person aha.

Yeah shit son. That one person... needs to have their voice boxed clipped haha!
Yeah chem sucks mainly because of how its taught for me, and some stuff doesn't seem to thrill me. Honestly don't care about what pH something is.

Hahahahaha fuck, 'that one person', definitely.
The amount of times teachers would shoot me a look to stop be from cutting sick at someone. Ah, good times. One time in Psychology, a kid (been in the country maybe three years) put his hand up and asked the teacher "Is it legal to kill your wife if she cheats on you?"
Safe to say everyone flipped dicks. Dayum, that kid, man... that kid.

HAHAHA! I'd piss myself if that happened in my class!
The person in my class acts all arrogant and likes to answer questions aloud, but when she does her voice is all shaky sounding like shes dying! And she's usually wrong. I find it funny, but her voice!

A bit of rage time

I made such a simple error in my business SAC today that might've costed me a good 7% of my score minimum. It asked "what type of business is this". The answer it was after was a private run government business, which I knew. But for some reason, I wrote that it was a "service type business" because it was something I learnt last year in business..

I mean, technically it is right, but it's not in the study design so obviously it wasn't what they were after. I'm sure I lost marks for wording elsewhere, but I think I may have dug under 90%. That probably will hurt my ranking as well..

But it's the first SAC so I hope it doesn't bring me down too much

Has this sort of mistake ever happened with anyone?

[brenden]

Yeah. Most memorably. Mid-year Psych.

Of course!

Best for it to happen now than in your final exam though

I'm really proud of your resilient attitude mate!  And yes it happened to me in methods last year, so you're the not only one! As pi said, at least you know you won't make the same mistake in the exam!

[Mr Keshy]

Yeah. Most memorably. Mid-year Psych.

Ouch! During an exam!

Of course!

Thanks man Feeling a little better now though! It just frustrated me that everyone else got it except me. It think I was the only one who stuffed that question up.

Yeah it definitely is better if it happens now than in my exams!

Thank you sisturr

It's good to know that you guys could bounce back from these little things I've learnt a good lesson though, so I won't repeat such errors again!

I wasn't talking about myself, but he did get 50 + Premiers (so that means 60/60 in the exam). He got a 50 in 5 other subjects.

M.L. ?
