LOL, well think of it like this

Year 7= "is VCE hard?"

VCE turned out easy? Come on people we can admit this!!! Nothing majorily hard.
 Year 11= carbon copy of year 12

The jump from year 10-->VCE was like avoiding a dead dog on the road as you drive... Awaiting an edit  :D

hmm... It depends

Are you going to be crushed if you get less than 90%, if yes then uni is hard.

Most people will find getting atleast 60% easy. Also if you aren't doing a course you like it may seem hard. It will be new having to be an independent learner.

Let's try this. The jump from Y10 to VCE is like transitioning from driving on a flat, smooth, metropolitan highway to driving on a narrow, tortuous gravel track in the middle of a dense jungle.

Y10 was the laziest year of my life - computer games for the whole period in Art, Business Management, DT and IT; sleeping in Maths; didn't have Science or English (most effort evoking subjects) for 2nd semester; and generally just mucked around.

I seriously tend to think school gets easier every year.  The work load decreases(by this I mean subjects), and you don't find yourself doing pointless research assignments in Year 11 & 12 that you would do between Year 7-10.  I like VCE because all you do is study.

For example, VCE maths is pretty much textbook questions and SAC's.  Year 9 Maths was this plus draw a house plan, plus build a model house.  Pointless waste of time.

lol. Same.

General Maths Advanced was much easier than specialist maths! It kind of made me think specialist maths was going to be easier than what it was.

When I was in Y9 I thought that for VCE Maths you had to do a research project about how Maths is applied in the real world =/ I was tricked by these posters in my maths classroom.
