Sorry about the delay, had to eat me some dinner

Got 34/40 which i am frikkin pissed about because every mark lost was a stupid mistake. I get so angry marking exam 1s, i was throwing shit all around the room. needed to listen to some reggae to calm me down so i didnt break something ahah

I wouldnt say thats bad dude! Defiantly room for improvement to get that 40/40 but at this stage and considering its a neap thats pretty good!

I just did the Insight 2007 Exam 1. I got 32/40 and I lost so many marks due to stupid mistakes. I lost 3 marks because I didn't know that 'equating coefficients' was a thing.

Exam 1 is so frustrating...I feel you odeaa...

Ironically, Neap has been my best so far, at least for exam 1. I thought I was gonna full mark VCAA '06 but nope: denied by a sneaky little mistake lol

I think it's important to prioritise VCAA exams though, then maybe move on to Neap/MAV and then Kilbaha if you're feeling a bit lucky. There's not much time left so prioritisation is key.

Orson I literally just finished the exam 2 for 2007, got smashed... 70/80
Definitely hardest exam I have done so far, cut off was 17.5 marks off... I made the cut off but i made so many silly mistakes its depressing me, seriously I got the first multiple choice wrong, remember, when it says to find the range, don't find the domain..

Been doing a mix of VCAA, Heffernan and recently Engage (our school doesn't have many papers!)
Dropped one mark each for VCAA 2006 - got the skew of the graph wrong in Exam 2 and didn't trace over the positive part in Exam 1 (really tiny errors, but important!)
@GrannySmith were those your errors

Amazing scores...How did you start out? I'm stuck around the 60-65 range at the moment (excluding 70 in 2007 Heffernan), and I don't seem to be improving. I always come across a question (usually one of those multi part questions worth 10-15 marks) that I have no idea how to do. I spend time analysing my mistakes...Could you please give me some pointers?

If you, or anyone need some more resources, please hit me up.

Your pal,

Quick question.
I completed the course a while back, and shortly after started practice exams. In the past 2 odd weeks ive hit a real slump in my motivation and how much this whole VCE means to me. Ive gotten back on my feet and start doing exams again. I did a fair few exams prior to my slump, some of which i totally bombed as i was distracted by my phone, etc. Im planning on just starting fresh, which is bad but oh well. Should i still record the results of these other exams i bombed, or just forget about htem, and do them as im wrapping up my exam revision when i most liekly would of forgotten about them.

Ps. Is it really worthwhile only doing timed conditions with VCAA exams, ive been doing them across all my exam (brands)?

[grannysmith]

Nah don't count them, there's no point. Just ensure you properly address any mistakes or areas of concern etc.

I don't think it's too wise to do all exams under strict time conditions. If you have a spare 30 mins you can generally complete an exam 1 (unless it's Kilbaha). I'd say only the VCAA ones you should simulate as the real thing. For the rest, just do em anytime, anywhere. I sometimes even do them in the car! Haha
