hi guys do u think its good to choose 孙中山 (sun yat sen) for chinese 3/4 oral, like will they ask many historical and political questions which are hard to respond to, and also i have to study hefty vocab on politics and societal achievements. if any of you guys have any suggestions on possible cultural study topics please tell me asap.
I'm doing my best to study for my exams (chem, bio, methods, further, english) but am having difficulty to stay awake throughout the day as I have health issues that affect my quality of sleep as they cause breathing issues. As a result, I wake up tired and can only have a couple (2-4) hours of full alertness before a headache strikes me and I desperately fight sleep despite drinking coffee/caffeine. There are days when I physically can't bring myself to study because of this exhaustion, and idk what to do. I'm aiming for a high ATAR (95+) and I'm afraid that this might cause me to only get B's/B+'s in my exams.
Did you do a SAC on English Section B this year? Or maybe a Lit Creative Response?
Did you know that the VCAA has become a canonized fandom tag on ao3?
So if you have works you'd like to share, please post it on ao3!
For example, if you did a Lit Creative Response this year on Smart Ovens for Lonely People, tag your story's fandoms like so:
This way, we'll be able to use a permanent archive (cough cough defunct vce.rocks mirrors) to see each other's amazing VCE work and leave a nice repository for everyone in the future too!
Thank you all so much!
I do online tutoring and my teacher is so blunt and scary. I guess she teaches well but it literally stresses me out whenever i have class with her 🙁. I remember the other times where she would get hella mad at me for not knowing the answer. Is anyone else going through the same situation
Hello everyone
Im moving to a new school and I need to chose my VCE subjects. Im accelating GM (doing 1/2 in year 10)
However my new school demands students to do TWO unit 3/4’s in Year 11, and we have to choose from psychology, HHD, or bussman.
I love math and want to do specialist, however we can only choose one subject from each block. Chemistry and specialist are in the same block as each other, and I want to take chemistry in case I do medicine (idk what to do when I finish VCE, but it’ll probably be a doctor)
So atm:
Year 11:
General 3/4
Psychology/HHD 3/4 (hate business)
Methods 1/2
Chemistry/Specialist 1/2
English 1/2
Physics 1/2
Year 12:
Methods 3/4
Chemistry/Specialist 3/4
English 3/4
Physics 3/4
I did research and only Monash and melbournes BMS medicine course require VCE chem, whilst unis like UNSW and flinders dont need it.
Can someone please help me? Thanks
So I got a 58 average for unit 3 (53,65,53) and a 44 average for unit 4 (68,43,33) as I failed one of my text response sac is it still possible to get a 30 study score? Be honest and let me know what I need on the exam to achieve this please
Last year, I graduated from a shitty, underfunded public school with a raw 44 in English. Generally, I would consider myself to be pretty unmotivated, and as such, I left a lot of my studying for exams to the last minute, so trust me when I say this is the laziest study method of all time. This was also the only study I did for section A (didn't do any practice pieces but I can't say I recommend that).
This method is so perfect that I didn't end up studying for my section a piece until 5 days (being generous) before my exam!!!!
DISREGARD VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DISCUSSED IN CLASS ABOUT YOUR SECTION A TEXT – THIS IS PARTICULARLY PERTINENT IF YOU GO TO A HISTORICALLY LOW-PERFORMING SCHOOL AS YOUR ENGLISH TEACHERS HAVE TO CATER TO THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATORS-MID RANGED STUDENTS!!!
Instead, I want you to go JSTOR (or Google scholar, project muse, etc) and look up your text. There, you will find the best possible analyses of whatever you're reading/watching. Memorise the ideas discussed in these analyses (not the wording) and simply regurgitate it in your section A piece (you could even copy the structure, how would they ever know???)
VCE is not at all about having unique ideas, however, if you can stand out by incorporating in more complex and holistic thought into your writing, it's likely you will perform well. (I found that anything that discussed Freudian psychoanalysis were heavy hitters). These examiners are soooo bored of reading analyses that simply explain the universe inside the text, they are literally begging you to tie it to the broader world.
*Bear in mind- this requires a baseline proficiency in writing, it might look a bit odd if a student who is making consistent basic grammar mistakes is writing about how marriage is a sublimation of the male death-drive.....
Good luck ! (Also if anyone has any questions about We Have Always Lived in the Castle I'd be happy to answer them) :)
please tell me im not the only one
(to the tune of "we cant ALL be donatello")
surely we cant ALLLLL be royally fucked??
