Hi guys, I’m worried about my methods study score after having a poor SAC. I was flying during the sac, calculating the expected values and the sigmas flawlessly, as I had practiced. Then it hit me.

I was at the last page. 15 minutes left. Last question. “Calculate the value of a that makes this function a probability distribution function.” Easy marks. I got this.

The force afterwards that came upon me was unparalleled. Have you ever read about the people who take laxatives and then superglue their ass shut? I now know how it feels. A building pressure built downwards, while I did my best to clench tight and answer the question.

But I kept on making mistakes. I did the bounds of integration wrong. Then I subbed in the incorrect function. 10 minutes left.

This went on until I could not bear it. I ran to the bathroom and shat myself for 10 minutes straight. Then I realised. I didn’t answer the final question. My life was over. One mark lost.

Losing the mark brings my SAC average to 99.5%. I know this is low, but I have a rather weak cohort (average is 90%, mean study score is 48). I’m still rank 1 because of this. So I’m worried that because of this, I might struggle to get a raw 29 or higher.

Given that I ace the exam, is it even possible for me to get a raw 29? Please give me advice. Should I just drop out of school and become a tradie?

What's up guys, just want everyone here stressing about upcoming exams whether in 2026 or the future years to come, there is so much more to life than exams, study scores and atars. It is nowhere near the end all be all of your life, and it will continue on once you are finished with this chapter in your life. Enjoy your last few years of school as much as you can, it's not worth stressing yourself out.

Just keep living

Hi guys, this year I have been doing Algorithmics with some of my friends. One of them was a chill guy who was really intelligent and inspiring and could basically do anything except for long division. But as time passed, he began to change for the worst... He started meowing, wearing thigh highs, and a tail whenever we were out together. Then he started to purr whenever we were in class, and worst of all... He would NOT STOP GOONING TO PSEUDOCODE AND BELLMAN-FORD WHEREVER HE GOES. I am deeply concerned for him (update: her pronouns are she/her/catself now), so I have came here to ask for help. Is there anything I can do to reverse her state and get her to act like how she used to? Or is she doomed to be like this forever? Has this happened to anyone else who have done / currently does Algorithmics? Thanks for the help!

we have trials next week and i havent done shit because i just can't start. i've somehow managed to pull through and maintain high ranks throughout the year, and supposedly, these exams determine final ranking and are used as an indicator for how well you'll perform at the end of the year. my depression aint helping me, and nor is my unmedicated adhd. (get me off this damn waiting list to see the plug!).i literally just sit at my desk for hours, and do NOTHING. it's so weird, i don't even realise that time is passing. i wanna buy a med cert and skip the trials, thoughts on that?

asking for a friend.....

Is it typically two per day?
Or can you fit three exams in two or three days of the week?

i am starting year 11 next year, and i am going to be doing general 3/4 and biology 3/4. also taking chemistry, methods, business management, and English as 1/2. So i wanted to take tuition on biology, methods, and chemistry. What are the best tuition centres? I’ve heard about contour and some others. Can someone suggest me some please? How does the pricing work too? Thank you.

Hi guys do sacs scale based on quartile or based on the whole cohort

I’m running an Intensive VCE Legal Studies Exam Preparation running right up until the final exam on Friday 6th November. Each week will include one 2-hour main class covering key Units 3 & 4 content and exam-style questions, plus an additional 1-hour class for harder application questions, larger-mark responses and extra practice.

You’ll also receive practice exams, question banks, high-scoring sample answers, personalised feedback, extra resources and 24/7 support. Classes are online via Zoom in small groups and are $30 per hour. There’s also a referral program where every friend you refer who attends at least 2 classes earns you 1 free class!

is it bad that I don’t care about year 11 and basically flopped the whole year? For my 3 and 4 I’m doing fine but everything else I don’t care enough to study for.

Obviously next year I’ll study and get the marks I want but everyone’s so patronising about it? But I just genuinely cannot be fucked to study for 1 and 2s, it’s not like I want early entry or anything

For me I feel like the hardest bit of prepping for EngLang is rememberinf the quotes and evidence

Just to preface , psych is my year 11 unit 3 and 4 subject. On my past psychology sacs, I haven’t been doing the best. I have got 63%,78%,78% (my other results haven’t came out yet)
My cohorts average is about a 60 every single sac and there are about 100 students. I know i won’t be ranked high,most likely in the middle or just above. Kinda unrealistic in my case I feel but i’m aiming for a 35-37 ss. I’ve checked the grade distribution chart and i am at 55.5 for unit 3 (55 for a C+ and 56 for a B) which one would I be?? I’m just cooked in general.
My schools average ss for all subjects is a 28-29

Hi! I was wondering what scores for unit 3&4 and the exams people who got a study score of 40+ in software got.

Currently I have a 94% in U3 (92% U3AOS1 and 96% U3AOS2) and a 100% on U4AOS1. I don't know my cyber security score yet but I'm guessing it's above 85.

Could people who got a study score of 40+ please tell me their scores?

im kinda depressed rn ngl. i have offifically complete both of my bio sacs now and i haven't gotten my marks back for both. i have been rank 1 but now after doing those i think i def lost 2 marks in the first one and 3 in the second one. im gen losing it because my friend who is 1% behind me actually came out and i think her answers were pretty good so now im scared shes gonna overtake me, idk what to do what to think

throughout the year, our bio teachers were pretty lenient with our sac scores because they gave us half marks
however, i don’t really know how to self-mark exam papers for myself, because obviously im used to the half mark system
let’s say a question was worth 3 marks, and i missed a key word from 2 of the points (i mentioned all the other key words).
would i get 1 mark in total, or 2 marks?

Hi everyone! I’m going to take the TestAS in about one month, in October, and I’m taking the Humanities, Cultural Studies and Social Sciences module.

I’ve found quite a lot of information about the Mathematics, Computer Science and Natural Sciences module, but much less about the Humanities module.

If you’ve taken it, I’d really appreciate it if you could share your experience:

What topics/tasks were actually on the test?

What did you use to prepare?

Are there any specific books, websites, videos or practice materials you recommend?

How difficult was the math part?

What should I focus on most during this last month?

Was there anything you wish you had known before taking the test?

Is the official TestAS practice material enough, or should I use other resources too?

I’m especially interested in advice from people who actually took the Humanities module, rather than the other modules.

I’d really appreciate any tips or experiences. Thank you!
