<p>This really annoys me. And I'm not even teaching Year 12 this year. <strong>
When</strong> are vcaa going to give us some sample solutions to their sample problems? <strong>Why</strong> are they unable to do this as a matter of course, each time they bring out a new study design? I bet Maths teachers get solutions to sample Maths
problems. Why is ITA any different? Is the sky going to fall down? Will the earth stop spinning on its axis?
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It may actually help teachers to come to grips with the course and what is expected.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm not really expecting an answer from vcaa (Paula?) but it would be nice if someone could explain or even justify this stance.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>my two cents worth</p>

<div>I'm thinking of doing some, but I dread tackling some of those dodgy questions... particularly the normalisation one (to which I object).
<br>
<br>
However I'm sure other people are champing at the bit and keen to have a go themselves ;-)<br>
