Although my students found the practical tasks to be fairly pleasant and familiar, they did find the theory questions a bit unexpected. I do know we can only predict the type of questions based on info given out by VCAA - and being a new course we really didn't have anything previous to go by. Students told me the type of theory questions varied greatly to the Pixel Ed practice exam I gave them a couple of weeks ago, so I am wondering if any of your students also had similar feedback. </span><o:p></o:p></p> </div> </div> <div> <div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p> </div> </div> <div> <div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Jeanean</span><o:p></o:p></p> </div> </div> <div> <div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p> </div> </div> <div> <div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Jeanean Pritchard<br> Media, Music & Arts<br> Highview Christian Community College<br> Maryborough Victoria<br> <a href="mailto:jpritchard@highview.vic.edu.au">jpritchard@highview.vic.edu.au</a></span><o:p></o:p></p> </div> </div> </div> <div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p> </div><p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"SansSerif","serif"">----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- </span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"SansSerif","serif"">Disclaimer: Whilst every attempt has been made to ensure that material contained in this email is free from computer viruses or other defects, the attached files are provided, and may only be used, on the basis that the user assumes all responsibility for use of the material transmitted.
