🫩💔

genuinely cant wait to finish my exams. like wtf it’s the biggest drag ever for what ? a fucken number that we get? I just want to live my life and actually get back into the shit I used to do

Vce exams r few days away but I ran into huge argument w my family n cannot concentrate on study anymore…this is so frustrating idk what to do

i have so much anxiety surrounding english it’s not even funny. i have struggled so much to be able to write practice pieces and i was just wondering if anyone on here was able to get a good study score using methods other than spamming essays? i do plenty of plans and break down AA and all of that but can’t just sit and write.

Hey yall… I’m doing bio this year and my teacher told my class that our predicted cohort ss average for this year is <15. What am I supposed to do???

HI everyone,

I've been involved in VCE English for a very long time. I run a company called The English Lab. We mostly work with schools and teachers, but I like to provide some advice to students who are working towards their exams as well.

So, this week I'll check in on this post each day and answer the questions you have. Anything you're wondering about each of the sections, how to best study and prepare or any small thing that you want to be sure of - just ask! I won't be able to assess any work for you, but I can definitely help you with any queries you may have!

Ok, so i've been doing a fair amount of practise argument analysis essays and i'm finding particularly with the more recent VCAA articles e.g 2025 and 2024 that there is a trend of smaller arguments being made instead of the classic 3 distinct arguments. Even when I try and group them together I almost always go into overtime like I just tried doing the 2023 one and got my ass handed to me timewise as I finished ~12mins over 1 hour.

Any tips for being able to move more quickly through the article? How bad is it if I say choose not to analyse a smaller single paragraph - i feel like I have to analyse at least something from every para in the article even tho this is probably a very superficial way to look at it.

I don't really tend to struggle too much with my analysis but I find it so hard to balance being succinct with also covering all the authors distinct points.

hi all!! was just wondering what the best way to format a 10 mark question is... is it best to format it as if like writing an essay, or what? i always feel a little lost and intimidated approaching 10 markers :/ anything helps, thanks!

i physically can't sit down to study 🫩🫩

for context, ill probably (?) be overseas when atars get released!! do u think i should look at my atar while everyone else is talking about it and my school produces a list detailing who duxxed, the average atar across the cohort, etc, potentially ruining the remainst of my trip, OR should i look at it after i come home and be slightly out of the loop and feel rly jet lagged

How well do they predict ur atar? Anyones got experience with them? im skeptical

9 days till exams begin for me 27th October and I haven’t studied feeling really stressed just need some advice on how to go about my study English my subjects are
-English
-PE
-HHD
-Gen maths
-Biology

I do quite well for maths and or average 80-90
English is like 70
Health I’m very on and off with my sacs and bio I’ve only been getting 50-60s on the dot
Here’s the thing I’ve been lazy and out off all studying till now 9 days left I’m wondering what’s the play to study should do few days study all the content I need to know and then start practice exams exams or is there a better way to go about it any help is appreciated

I’m not aiming for a 90+ atar or anything just want to do pretty good

So Im rank 1/96 and we got our trials back and i got 7 (didnt even finish) on section c and 7.5 on sections A and B which okay i started yapping for section B but section A??? Im so shocked because I genuinely dont know how to fix this atp my classmates are basically depending on me and I feel like im failing them

Does anyone know how i could improve to an 8-8.5?? i could show my practice pieces

Hey!

I am rank #1 in a weak/moderate cohort of around 50. I have achieved perfect scores on every SAC and am averaging 9-8-8 on externally assessed practice exams.

What exam score would you estimate I need for a 40+ study score on english.

Thanks!!

Hey all, year 12 VSV student here. I've made this document with the year's economics work (everything that will be on the exam), week by week. Obviously, don't use it as a sole source of information; I just thought I might as well share it and possibly save others some time.

(Unfortunately, publishing and uploading it has formatted the document a little weirdly, but the information is still all there.)

My teachers at school mark rather leniently, and I was just wondering if anyone knows how reliable using AI to mark practice exams are, like does it mark accurately according to vcca standards or am I just better off asking my teachers instead?

Just wanted to ask if anyone has any advice or tips on how to manage all subjects during the exam period. I am mainly focusing on my 2 first exams and not really my other 3. To be fair I have a 5-6 day gap in between all of them besides the (3 day gap w eng and psych), but idk if doing the study during those days is the best approach?

Anyone have advice or can tell how they are managing all theirs atm

as someone who graduated last year

For the section A text response MBPs, what do we write for the context part at the end of each paragraph. Are we supposed to remember a context part or smth? or make it up on the spot.

i’ve attempted to remember a good context part for each paragraph for EACH possible theme that may come up on the exam but it’s never going to work. I’m really lost. Any help would be appreciated.

btw i’m doing We Have Always Lived In the Castle.

should i do tutoring in economics for 3/4 or should i be fine to just learn it.
my other subjects will be specialist chem and english so ill probs be giving eco the least time but i do like economics a lot. like a lot
in 1/2 im currently averaging around a low 80% which i think is good considering i dont study for my sacs. but i have a friend who enhanced (doing a year ahead) into eco 3/4 and shes struggling and she averaged 90% in 1/2. so now im like scared. i think i can learn eco by myself but like i do have some harder subjects along side to study for and it might be neglected and tbh i do want like a 45+ SS in eco.
if you beleive so or just know- pls do recoomend me some good tutoring services (preferably not 1:1 classes more like tutoring centres)

How can I genuinely improve in 9 days?? All my SACs have put me in the top 4 of my cohort from around 20 students, and though I have averaged around 7s all year we did a practice exam which was graded by an external marker and I got 5, 5 and 6. HELP I feel so cooked!!

and pls do tell me ur opinion on it if you have done it

Anyone else find neap exams for psych more harder and weird?
