I'm with Russ on this one. Not your fault at all, but if it were me, I'd be saying something to the teacher.

Good luck! :)

Although this will clear your conscience, you will have to think about your friends don't mention they were involved.

Yup, you've done nothing wrong. Even if you didn't bring in the SAC and copy it out, it would've still been in the favour of whoever's actually seen the SAC before (if you've already seen all the questions before/ done it as practice, it's going to be much easier for you). Even if past SACs aren't readily available, it's always possible for students to get a hold of them from ex-students and teachers should know better not to use the exact same SAC. You came prepared and it paid off. Besides, I doubt the "top" students would've gone into a SAC without doing some practice ones first (in which case they probably would've been in a similar situation to you!).

Don't persuade him to tell the teacher, WTF. Use this to your advantage honestly. VCE isn't a fair system itself, so I don't see any reason not to take advantage of this, plus, you were allowed to take in these sheets so there shouldn't be a problem. It's your teachers fault who screwed up by not changing the SAC.

You can use this as motivation. You're now ranked very highly in your cohort. So you should study real hard to maintain this rank. Gl.

The OP has a damned big heart.

I'd actually have told the teacher if it were me, I'd feel pretty damn bad.

Yes, tell the teacher, but I don't think much will change. That will at least make you feel better. :)

I would only say something if the teacher had an understanding attitude. I found more or less all the SACS we've used, and will be using, after about three SACS in, and mentioned to my teacher I found out on the internet where all the SACS were. After receiving a really high score, and linking all these websites to her for the intention of her to make her own, I'm making the assumption she now thinks that I'm a cheater, despite the fact I was doing anything but that.

So really, if your teacher is not understanding, I'd count your lucky stars and move onto the next SAC.

I can understand how you feel, I would feel guilty as hell as well!

But don't worry. You didn't do anything wrong.

Why do schools use reuse SACS? They should make new ones every year! xD

Just think like this:

Maybe weren't the best in the class content wise, but you definetly made the best cheat sheet.

The subject is about both, especially in physics

Yeah, I also got a VH so in the end everything still went well for me :-)

You do realize that in order for us to get ATARs of 80-90+, there has to be people at the other end of the spectrum right?
