SAC

Dear Methods people.

Please remember that the SAC is starting at 1:45 and going through until the end of the day or 90 minutes later (whichever is longer (it's 90 minutes later)).

Please go to http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/studies/mathematics/cas/casexams.html to have a look at the formula sheet that you will be provided. so that you don't have any overlaps.

Remember that it is better to go through the practise SAC and fill in gaps.  Please do not try to cram in all of chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4.  You will not be able to do this.

I have made the practise as similar to the SAC as I can.

While I was in a meeting yesterday I did the Maths on how the assessment is broken down and the SAC on Monday is worth about 3% of your final mark.
That being said, it helps you prepare for your EXAM 2 which is worth 44% of your final mark.

This is not a value judgement just some data for you to look think about.

See you all on Monday.

Wednesday and Thursday

Dear all,
As I'm sure you are all aware, there are some major disruption this week because of the lesser sciences.
If you are serious about have enough time to prepare properly for the SAC I would advise you to attempt 4A and 4B.
They are pretty straight forward (and short).  My advice is to do every questions and the odd parts of multipart questions (i.e a, c, e, etc)

I will be available after school every day this week and Tuesday of next week for assistance with these exercises. We have the SAC soon, and next week is the last week of content so it's important that you are doing work at home.

Those of you who are on thefacebook could you 'post' or whatever this note so those who have not yet subscribed can get this information.

Thank you
MDE
