VCE General Maths 3&4

Hey Guys,

I have my Data Analysis SAC for Units 3&4 coming up really soon and I would be super grateful if you could give me any advice on how to tackle this? Also, do you know if you are allowed to stick papers in from past SACs for example, with Blu Tack? This way, I could easily stick and unstick papers into my bound reference for each SAC. My bound reference has a proper spine which is difficult to attach anything else onto without creating holes in paper.

Thank you so much!

I did that for my bound reference too (Unit 1 and 2), but you have to be really careful, because it needs to be able to withstand a teacher picking it up and shaking your reference to see if anything falls out. You are allowed to do anything you want but if anything falls out, you can say goodbye to it.

Perfect person! (I wanna be a future doctor too ^^)
Unfortunately, I asked my GM teacher the other day if I could do that for sacs but he said no since it is able to be easily removed. So light pencil and rubbing out it is!

How did your SAC go? Mine were both pretty easy to be honest.
The next upcoming SAC is for Finance + Recursion, and since I am the weakest in this topic, I am really scared T-T . I'm going to have to do every possible existing question to be able to do well in this topic!

Thats great it was pretty easy....yeah financial isn't fun.

I have like 20 mins of part c to do.

My teacher messed up part b and the whole class has done the same mistakes that effected like all of the part. Im pretty angry tbh.

Did your sac go to 3 parts and have you done all 3 parts?

Nice to hear it was easy for you as well, Data Analysis will always be my favourite.
I understand your anger because even one of our papers had an error (though not as big as yours) which made our class angry too. This is a flippin' 3/4 subject, how could they afford to make such careless errors?

thanks.

I'm getting my mark back tomorrow ahhhh. All I know is i got 96% on part A so wish me luck!

Speaking from recall, I am pretty sure there were 3 parts to the SAC (as in Section A, B and C) for both SACs, and yes I did complete all three.

96% is superb! Well done, as long as your in the top rank in your class, even if you didnt get 100%, I'm sure you will get a good score! Did you do well in Part B too?

I am yet to get my results, my teacher said it is going to be released in Term 2 (which starts next week!)

I ended up get a 90 for the whole SAC...and I'm currently rank 3 so not great

part B dragged me down alot (I got 77% ahhh) but most of the class did pretty bad on it so yeah

-MindsAhead-

JJBang17

No! 90 is not bad, still an A+. You still have many other SACs to bring your score up, plus the exam.

(Based on what my teacher said, the top exam mark is usually the top SAC mark, so as long as your regression line for exam vs SAC is climbing upwards, you'll be fine.)

I'm so scared for mine ><

JJBang17

-MindsAhead-

yeah thanks.
oh wow ok thats good to know.

can you explain what you mean by the top exam mark is usually the top SAC mark?

JJBang17

-MindsAhead-

oh that makes sense!!!!

Thanks sooo much!!!! <3
