VCAA Exam covers?
« on: October 28, 2013, 05:15:37 pm »

Hi guys,
I know the covers say "sample, number of questions and mark allocations may vary from the information included", but are they still generally correct?
The HHD Exam cover says 90 marks (as opposed to the usual 100 marks), and if that were the case life would be a little easier for me and it'd be peace of mind for me because 10 marks makes a huge difference in a 2 hour exam haha!


Thanks in advance! :)

Well its still using the same Study Design as last year, and from what I know the total Marks don't change unless the Study Design changes.

So I'm pretty sure that the Exam would still be out of 100 marks. :)

In the exam specifications it says hhd I'll be scored out of 90-100 marks, hence why I asked if the covers are reliable or not :)

Some study designs allow the examiners to change the number of marks from year to year. The VET subject I did last year could vary from 60-80 marks if I remember correctly, so can be quite a difference.

It'll be stated in the exam specification document, http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Documents/exams/hhd/health-samp-w.pdf HHD can be between 90 and 100 marks. And yeah, as said above, the marks for each year are on the exam covers, but they do give themselves the wiggle room to change that on the actual exam if they want to (generally it doesn't change, you can treat them as reliable).
