I haven't done 2013 yet just speculation.(A+ cut-offs) do you remember what you got on it, it really doesn't matter how easy or hard it is if everyone performs equally well on both but harder exams give you a little more room for stupid errors.

I don't think VCAA is going to want another exam with a A+ cutoff of 72% but also last years you could lose roughly 2 marks for a 50.

The difficulty of the exam depend on the results of the previous year

Don't worry about scores that you can't change  because there are so many more productive things you could do

anyone done the STAV 2015 unit 3 and 4 exam? I thought was relatively ok, i'm surprised about how straightforward it was apart from one question about pregnancy testing which took a while to get but overall not hard i think.

I made horrible mistakes in the multiple choice, got 35/39 ( we removed one of the questions)

wasn't your 97 exam score like 72/75 that's the top of the state.XD

If your in year twelve just do VCAA papers and nothing else, if your are in eleven maybe do some if you want to. Usually if I only have like 30-60mins I just do parts of company papers and come back to it later.
EVERYONE!!!! :p
2015 AN cohort is gonna smash it! Good luck guys!!!! :D
Thankyou!

What are you guys going to be doing around a week to go(or after you have completed all VCAA papers)?

Hopefully all combined 3/4 VCAA exams will be left for the last week as well as some 2015 company exams

You should smash VCAA out now because those are the ones that will be most representative of the 2015 exam. After you do them, do trial papers.
