Sorry I didn't ask my question correctly
Basically, I just didn't know if I was doing it correctly that's all! Because I have researched a lot of information about my topic and have organized it a bit and wrote some sentences, but I haven't picked out 3 resources or anything. I'm mainly confused about the resources part. Like I know you need 3 resources, but can the examiners questions only come from those 3 resources? (I sound so dumb lol)

Sorry! I didn't realise you replied to my post until now and posted in your other thread. I'll just respond to the other half here.

The examiner's questions will definitely revolve around your resources, but they will also relate to your topic itself, I think. You might know a little bit more about me here having done CSL already, but I think they can also ask more general questions such as "What was the most interesting thing you learned about your detailed study?" or something to that effect. You don't sound dumb, don't worry.

By the way, for your written exam which writing style are you gonna do? I think imaginative is the best because you can be creative and free but then again sometimes the topic doesn't suit so I don't know if I should be preparing for other text types or just imaginative.

Imaginative is definitely a good option! It's appeared in virtually every practice exam that I've read. I've trialled with it before but I wasn't amazing at it. I don't think I'm very good at being creative on the spot in exam conditions. I prefer a more mechanical approach to writing in German so narratives don't suit me too much.

I'm probably best at evaluative/argumentative prompts or those that involve a simple personal letter. I find these the easiest as you can build a solid structure for yourself to follow. I also quite like doing speeches if they're available. I find that styles in which you can carry over common phrases are usually the best, as they can build up confidence if you know a sentence is definitely correct.

Which sentence of the written exam do you find hardest/easiest, btw? I personally struggle with the listening and responding in German section, but I find reading and the essay a lot easier by comparison.

Anyone know whether or not completing the personal statement on VTAC is important?

If your application requires it then yes otherwise there's no need to complete it

I find the essay/writing the easiest because it allows you to be creative! But sometimes it can get complex when I can't think of anything to write and there's so much grammar stuff but it lets you be free!
I also struggle with listening omg. Sometimes I cannot even hear how they would phonetically spell certain words so it leaves me guessing! (I search that 'guessed' spelling in the dictionary - it's not there!)
Reading I don't really like either.
But really, the written exam is pretty hard do like most people find it hard or not? :/

Why use VCAAExams when you can just have VCAA Gold Membership? Scrubs smh.

[tashhhaaa]

I really need that hahaha

but even if it was real (0.00000000001% chance to be honest), VCAA would change the exam or something 

[odeaa]

Imagine if it was real and vcaa didn't realise

[tashhhaaa]

Hahahaha I almost hope it's real now! Got an alarm on my phone for 7PM tomorrow night labelled "< 30 or 99.95?" :')

nah you'll get 99.90

Imagine if it was real and vcaa didn't realise

that's something they would do lol

off topic but do you guys have any tips for overcoming procrastination/being more productive? I feel like I'm wasting days doing fk all not on purpose but because I just can't pull myself together

 I've always found the hardest thing about overcoming procrastination is just getting started. If you invest just all your willpower into just getting over that first horrible hurdle of not wanting to actually start work, then I have found it becomes easy to be productive as you quickly get in the mood to study/work.
