Hey ThunderDragon! Your vce journal was so addictive to read and damn those are hella ambitious scores! I'm sure you'll definitely hit your target ATAR! I laughed for a straight five minutes lmaoooooo. I wouldn't be surprised if one of my school friends found me and trolled me by creating an account called 'homeworkisnotapotato'
Haha thanks! Yeah they are very ambitious but I guess med is just very ambitious as well. Yeah I just don't know which one of my school friends trolled me.

Ik it's been a while since I last posted but just wanted to vent a bit after the Psych exam. My best subject and the subject i had the best chance of potentially getting a 45+ is ruined after that Psych exam. Felt that the exam was hard + made a few dumb mistakes ultimately led to me walking out the exam feeling really crap. I don't even think I'll get a 40 considering I'm pretty sure I lost at least 10-12 marks already.

I also felt this way but a 40 study score (Depending)  is still possible losing 24 marks as 96/120 (80%) was the A+ cutoff. If everyone found it hard potentially lower.

I belive in you thunder dragon! This exam was actually hard- I believe for psych vcaa is gravitating towards the harder stuff (like last years exam was hard- the very first hard one).

Also imagine how many people get 50s but walk out feeling crap- I think there’s still a glimmer of hope for you.....good luck for bio tommrow!

I guess so. I'm not sure why Psych VCAA decided to make it harder when we had two lockdowns this year sigh. But yeah good luck for bio tmr as well.

From my understanding, VCAA writes exams early on in the year so the exams would have been written prior to the lockdowns and revised after the SD changes. Don't fret, if a bright mind such as yours found it difficult, I'm sure the whole state would have agreed. The A+ cutoff will no doubt be lower so don't give up hope :) Plus, it's all over now and all we can do is celebrate 🎉
somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

It is really distracting & you can do your best to focus on what you can change but also try not to beat yourself up if you find yourself doing a little bit of rumination, just try to get back on the track you want to be on when/if you notice it :)

Hi TD i just wanted to hop in here to tell you not to stress!
I 100% agree psych exams have gotten harder, they want to go beyond memorisation and ask real like application questions, in the same vein the MCQs have also gotten harder.
I personally felt the 2017 exam was easiest of the SD (and yes my exam) just know your thoughts are shared on the exam, so who knows an A+ this year may be lower.
Don't dwell on it as you have other exams to focus on you go this!
