Year 12 Class of 2013 Discussion Thread

[lzxnl]

I got my chemistry exam back and I got a C (I fucking failed, I got 45% lol) while my physics was a high A+ (96%), both were the VCAA 2013 sample ones.

You should reflect on your scores and try to see how you're going to improve them/keep them at their current high standard.
It's totally fine to be feeling like you're struggling to improve at the moment.

A way I like to think about it is that we're slowly reaching our peak, an asymptote that we will never reach but continually approach.
But although we will never reach that asymptote, there is always a space in between for you to get closer and closer and closer to that peak.

My performance doesn't peak. Think of a sine wave. That's my performance. All I can really do is reduce the amplitude of oscillation.

Yeah, my Specialist Exam 1s have varied from as low as 19/40 to 40/40. It's not a nice feeling, actually. :S

I just found my new favourite way to describe my scores

I can relate to the sine wave. Biology - like 79% one day, 99% the next. Awwks :| are the front covers officially out?

[vashappenin]

Exam cover pages are now available.

12 Discussion questions for Biology - I think that they should have done max 10. Oh well, what can we do.

Possibly, all I know is that it's a parody of https://www.facebook.com/VCEadvice (essentially an advertising page for Horizen - a tutoring company)

hey guys a quick question. are we allowed digital watches in the exam?

im confused because i heard somewhere that we aren't (maybe it was for umat) but today my teacher said we are. I just want to be on the safe side.

You're allowed digital watches, provided that "watches that are capable of storing, receiving or transmitting information or electronic signals are not permitted in an examination room under normal written examination conditions."

They're really not going to check for that though, unless you start fiddling with the buttons on the watch. If you're concerned about your watch just ask the VCE Coordinator or whoever is in charge of doing all the administrative stuff for exams at your school, show them your watch and ask if it's okay. If they let your watch into the GAT, they'll probably be fine with it for all other exams too.

Finished my last SAC today  OMG OMG OMG!!!
