    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.

      Ash444 You say "It's already September" like you are a Bulldog's player that just lost to Eagles.
      This isn't your finals, you've got all of next year. Chin up, heads down. You'll be amazed how it turns out.

      If you feel you aren't being supported enough at school is Tutoring an option?

        • In Trig question helppp

          Good question

          Try this Archived Page with the same.
          I think the forum revamp broke most of the ol LaTex but you can copy the link to the image and paste it in the URL bar or notepad and its kinda readable.
          Let me know if you can't get it readable, I'll find out how to redo the Latex and repost it

          It's past pumpkin time, so I'll probably swing back past this later today with more targeted responses;

          In the interim, read through Jigsaw's guide from a few years ago, it might just clear some things up

        • In How I got a 50 raw in Legal Studies (2022)

          mozzie I didn't even do legal, much less get a straight 50, however... I would recommend reading the VCAA assessment guide on your subject. That will tell you what you are being assessed against, giving you some framework to build out on.

          chemistry1111 Not sure if you already covered precedent, but its pretty much a decision that has been made in a previous case that can become the basis of a later ruling.
          i.e; Mabo v QLD established that the Indigenous population had rights to the land under their own culture and customs, which then became precedent for many further cases.

          would we say that judges use precedent as a reference for future cases

          Its more that a decision made today will form the precedent (or part of) for future decisions. Just one of the reasons that Law is so important under our Constitution; if they don't get it right today it opens up loopholes down the track.

                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.

                • In Please be 100% honest

                  Ash444 Never say never, a 30 is always within reach.

                  I got completely sidetracked in my English exam and ended up working out the square root of 2 instead. Somehow I still ended up getting a raw 25, which was the minimum required for anything I was looking at.

                  Your original question was "Should I switch my career preference?"
                  My answer is No.

                  You have your preference; that is your goal, you will do what you need to achieve your goal. English will be in your top 4; thanks primarily to VCE rules, but also due to how you will arrive at your goal.
                  You have two paths to it;

                  Put most of your effort into 4 (or 5) other subjects that can count in the 4 + 10% game, whilst doing what is required to meet the base English results for your goal.
                  Or;
                  Evenly distribute your energy across the 4 subjects (English + 3) that are most likely to count towards your final ATAR, to maximise the raw score before any scaling is applied.

                  The choice is yours, but either path leads to success.

                      venky57 I did VET Accounting, so I don't know how translatable it is...

                      Biggest thing we were tested on was the accuracy of our accounts; seems simple, but the basis of double entry accounting is that you need to get it wrong twice for it to balance 😅
                      When we were tested on business cases it was more an emphasis on whether we got the given ratios right rather than focusing on WHY these ratio's should be used.

                      Moving outside of the 40+ hunt; if you can grasp an advanced conceptual knowledge of accounting principles, why ratios are important and most importanly, their practical application in business forecasting... you'll be employed before you can even begin to worry about HECS debt.

                          Given that the points need to be stationary, you are looking for a Polynomial where the integral is zero at the points you have mentioned. the fact that it has 6 stationary points and only 5 other points are mentioned leads me to believe that it should probably start and end at zero on the y-axis.

                          It might seem unbelievable, but this has arrived at 20 in the past.
                          Does 2 still work?

                          karl Unfortunately the VCAA don't take anyone's word except the Shrink's.

                          If you have a doctors certificate it might help, but even then they have to take into account that your peers could advise you of some of the questions on the SAC therefore creating an inequal examination.
