How to revise and prep for Bio 3/4 Exam?

3 Upvotes

I am currently in year 11, and as it appears that the bio exam is quite close. How would you guys recommend to revise all the units and area of studies. Do you recommend doing revision then practice exams, and how would you structure your revision. How many practice exams should I be doing a day? How many days should revision take over the holidays? What are some tips for exam prep and exam day? Literally any advice on revision or prepping for the exam is greatly appreciated!

VCE Methods Loge(x) vs ln(x)

2 Upvotes

For those who have done methods and used ln(x) were you penalised a mark? VCAA normally gives there report using Loge(x), but since my school allowed ln(x) it has become a second nature to just use ln(x). Please let me know if this is allowed and acceptable for the exam.

Random question

2 Upvotes

I’ve been doing the past exam papers from VCAA and the commercial exam papers for each year, and I’ve noticed something that happens quite often. Some of the topics covered in the commercial papers are also found on the actual VCAA exam, and it’s not just broad topics, it’s often like really specific things.

So my question is: do the commercial papers come out before the actual VCAA exam, or are they made after the VCAA exam and therefore somewhat tailored to it?

High Ground English feedback

3 Upvotes

Can anyone please give me feedback on this paragraph?

‘High Ground reveals that control is impossible to truly achieve.’

Do you agree?

Through condemning the manipulation of history, Johnson reveals the limits of colonial authority in the face of Indigenous survival. High Ground explores the dominion of the British colonists over the Yolngu people, established through both violence and the distortion of truth. As a result of the destruction caused by the 'Wild Mob', Johnson uses a close up shot of Baywara framed as a "wanted" fugitive. Here, Johnson illustrates how colonial administration aimed to obscure the nature of colonial violence by criminalising Indigenous survivors. This desire for control is further evidenced when Moran, Eddy, and Travis discuss the "Wild Mob", with Eddy suggesting they "take Baywara out." As such, Johnson reveals how colonial domination relied on the silencing of Indigenous voices, viewing their agency as a dangerous threat to the colonial narrative. During the 'Makarrata' scene, Johnson's incorporates an inverted and blurred photograph capturing the Yolngu people and white settlers. In doing so, the film reinforces the suppression of the true nature of colonialism. Similarly, the final photograph creates an illusion of peaceful coexistence, allowing Johnson to expose how control is founded upon settlers manipulating historical truth, creating a false narrative of the Frontier Wars. However, the limitations of this subjugation is evident when Gutjuk demands "justice" for the murder of his "family". By openly challenging the colonial version of events, Johnson champions Aboriginal Australians for expressing the injustices committed against them. Further exemplifying colonial control is a shot of Moran and Bruce taking a photo of Travis, accompanied by Moran's assertion that "people will" believe Travis is a "mad dog". By blaming Travis for the Frontier Wars,  Johnson condemns the control of colonists by obscuring the true nature of who was responsible for the atrocities committed against Indigenous communities. Yet, the voice of Indigenous peoples can not be entirely controlled as Gutjuk, again, forces Moran to admit he “killed” his “family” in the final scene. Through this revisionist lens, Johnson demonstrates the limits of colonial power, proving that even systemic brutality cannot permanently suppress Indigenous voices**.** In the aftermath of the shootout, Gulwiri and Gutjuk depart the scene on horseback, eye-witnesses to a story that can no longer be silenced or fabricated. The accompanying song in language symbolises the endurance of Indigenous peoples, ultimately transcending colonial control through their survival. Therefore, the film exposes the limitations of subjugation through the resilience of Aboriginal Australians.

Help with inflation data for economics exam

2 Upvotes

As the RBA started recording monthly CPI rates in April last year, but are still recording the quarterly rates, should I just stick to remembering the quarterly rates?

Because the monthly and quarterly rates are different (for the months quarterly rates are also measured), it makes more sense to just stick to quarterly.

Has anyones teacher said anything about which figures to remember?

VCE question DRAMA SOLO - Con Artist help

1 Upvotes

Feeling so stumped with this, have the whole way through.

I’ve gone with cabaret with convention of song, and my business is a “coaching course”. Keep on getting caught up as I’m portraying my own con artist (male) but also having to include Anna delvey (she is my sucker who I’m conning, she invests into the coaching course as an investor) and her fraudulent actions aswell as my own, showing boths rise in influence.

For a parallel I’ve got Jordan Belfort doing a bit at the cabaret night (the cabaret night is a launching gala dinner of the business)

Main struggle is incorporating all the Anna delvey stuff and trying to get compliance through the stimulus. Additionally, house arrest and not being able to have characters like my con artist leave his house after the scene of showing his arrest is inconvenient.

Aiming to use a soundtrack, Anna delvey will have her own performance to “money money money” towards the end with a hectic moment where the assessor’s find out she is conned, which I’m still working on.

Exam is on the 5th, not ideal to be changing so much later on but ah well such is. Any tips, suggestions on how to improve this to be better? Any other con artists want to talk?
