Hey everyone!
So, those of you who've been around more than a year will know that answers to exams can normally be found on ATAR Notes, usually for the 'hard' math/science subjects. People also normally upload a copy of the exam.
This Wednesday, I'll go into my school at about 10.30am and try to grab a copy or a photocopy from one of my old teachers and upload it here. If I have time, I might also write an example high-scoring Language Analysis, as I think someone did this last year and people were really interested in it.
In past years, the exams that end up with answers etc have been "random", simply depending on whoever decided to upload a copy/write answers. This left a lot of people unhappy and unsatisfied because they expected a copy of their exam (and/or answers) to be up here but were left disappointed. This was actually a big point of feedback we received after we did a user feedback survey at the end of 2014.
SO! This year, I'm looking for volunteers to obtain a copy of an exam for a subject, and then volunteers to generate suggested answers! Getting a copy is usually pretty easy and can be done in two ways. If you're a student who is actually sitting the exam, just politely walk up to your invigilator (or get a confident friend to do it), and ask them - respectfully - if you could please have a copy of the exam as a personal keepsake. They will usually oblige. If you're a graduate and feel like seeing your old teachers, just go down and ask your teachers for a photocopy, or ask the invigilators if you can get a copy for your tutoring students.
Generating answers obviously involves just writing answers out and PDFing them once you manage to get a look at the questions.
Some of the subjects that I think it's really important to provide for are as follows (as they appear in the VCE exam timetable):
English (Volunteer: Ned Nerb)
Psychology
Economics
Biology (Biology24123 + Bruzzix)
Further Maths 1 (MightyBeh)
Further Maths 2 (MightyBeh)
Business Management
Methods 1
HHD (tashhhaaa + bangali)
Physical Education
Methods 2
Spesh 1
Literature
Accounting
Chemistry (Bruzzix + Thushan)
Legal Studies
Physics (Biology24123 + Bruzzix)
English Language
Others (Geography, History Revs, Visual Comms, etc.)
Guys --- is this something you would like to see happen, and do you think it is a good idea? It would be absolutely huge to get copies of these exams up on the community and I'm sure whoever manages to do it would be showered in respect, upvotes, and gratitude. So, I want volunteers to post below... For each subject listed (and for subjects that aren't listed, even), I want:
1) Someone to volunteer just to
get a copy of the exam up on the forums!!
2) Someone - either a high-achieving graduate, or a current student who is confident in the subject - to
write suggested answers to the exam. (These don't need to be perfect, there will always be some discussion and answers changed, but most important is just to get something up there for people to discuss).
If you think you could do these things,
please post below(!) and I'll put a strikethrough the subject in the OP and write your name into the volunteer list.
Would be super awesome to get this going as a community initiative
Good luck for exams, too!
