VCE

Congratulations on completing units 1/3! The time has come to begin preparing for the exams in October and November.

I would suggest the following for exam preparation:

My advice is to be strict with suggested times. I am very happy to mark your essays as you write them, please send them through to me. You have a few weeks over the holidays to make a good start with some exams.

I have made this post about SAC 3, which will be outcome 2. Please read this information carefully so you can prepare. This should overlap with your exam preparation as well, since the tasks will be listening and reading comprehension.

For this week, I would like us to make a start on exam preparation together. We will work through the practice exam given in workset 15 from the VSL distance material.

  1. Listening Comprehension Complete the listening comprehension exercises for texts 1, 2 and 3. You will need this audio file, which contains all of the audio segments.
  2. Reading Comprehension Complete the reading comprehension exercises for texts 4 and 5.
  3. Writing Write one of the essays given in section 3.
  4. Reflection At the end of the workset is a reflection on the semester. Please fill this out and send it through or email your responses to me directly.
  5. Review Use the examiner’s report to mark the exam. Submit your essays at this link and I will mark them. From this I can give you a mark for the exam.
