VCE Year 12 Class of 2015

[Mr Debonair]

Anyone got complex number practice sacs? I feel underprepared 

[tashhhaaa]

What are you guys up to in the Heinemann chem book? My school is only starting Ch 6 next week and I'm a bit concerned

[Eiffel]

we are on chapter 5

[odeaa]

we did up to chapter 6 for holiday homework, but we are still revising those chapters because majority of kids didnt do it ahah

[tashhhaaa]

I have a friend from another school and they're up to Ch 8 -.-

You don't need to compare yourself to how far other schools have gone in terms of content. Keep in mind that even if they had almost finished the textbook, it wouldn't necessarily mean any of the students would have had the time to absorb all of the information properly or be more ready for exam questions.

It's also worth noting that not all schools teach the content in the same order, or skip over things. For instance, we started off by addressing chromatography and have already had a SAC on it, and will be doing volumetric / gravimetric analysis for the next SAC (with redox and acid-base stuff being mixed around the middle).

If you're that desperate to get ahead or think your cohort is going too slow, there's nothing stopping you from reading ahead in your own textbook to give yourself an advantage later.

What were the sac questions like specifically, like what did they most focus on, argand diagrams and drawing loci or?

For part one of the SAC (tech-free),

The questions required us to find the value of z1 and z2 and beta and alpha (the unknowns) in the equation:

|z - z1| + beta|z - z2| = alpha.

There was a table of given values that looked something like this:

z1: 1 + i, 1 - i, -1 + i, -1 - i
z2: "                                    "
beta: 0, 1, 2, 3
alpha: 0, 1, 2, 3

And we'd have to choose which value of each unknown would satisfy the conditions posed in each question. A condition would be something like: "radius = 2 and centre = (-1, 1)"

It was nothing I'd seen before in either of the maths quest and essentials textbooks or the tssm complex numbers review worksheet I did.

what do you guys do to kick back during your  study breaks?

[Eiffel]

would anyone here be pissed off with like "98.95" or "94.95" or "89.95"?. Usually the last one i see can be a dread for many people. i hope i dont fall in any of those situations,

89.95 i'd be so pissed. Actually it happened to a person in my school in 2014.. but the rest i'd be thrilled either way!

I'd just be happy if I got into my first preference tbh

[Eiffel]

if you got 89.95, and someone ask's for your ATAR can you say 90? haha

[Cogglesnatch Cuttlefish]

if you got 89.95, and someone ask's for your ATAR can you say 90? haha

If you were 1% behind rank 1 in sac average at your school, you wouldnt say that you were rank 1; youre rank 2 whether you like it or not. Similarly the atar is a ranking so i guess the same applies. Just get 90 

[99.90 pls]

Does anyone play Old School Runescape? Started playing this week since F2P servers got released! Played 20 hours in 2 days, gg my life haha
