stress

MUT0002

Hey guys,
So my teacher went on a holiday for pretty much of unit 4.
We had a substitute who was not trained for the subject so we are so behind.
So she's making the sac for the last area of study on the first week of term 4.
According to my understanding, results are meant to be handed in end of term 3
This is really stressful because we should be prepping for our exam by term 4, not another sac.

i recommend a little bit of protesting, as no schools should have sacs in term 4. They tried pulling this off at my school, but we were pissed so they moved it to last week of term3.

Manny Peaceful resistance you mean?

The teacher would most likely be the best person to determine how ready their class is to take a SAC. It makes sense to give them time over the T3-4 break to prep for the SAC then focus the rest of T4 on the exam.

do you guys think i should just get ahead with the content? So I could start exam prep at the end of tern 3 like most schools?

MUT0002 It's pretty much up to you; more prep is always better, but don't overdo it.
Yeah, you probably wont know when you are overdoing it till afterwards, but thats all part of the fun

Bear in mind your Unit 4 SAC is not inconsequential; it is a quarter of your final result. If you feel comfortable with the topic then by all means start exam prep.
If your exam prep involves practise exams even better; its covering topics from Unit 4 and simultaneously preparing you for exams.
