I appreciate the kudos, Darren, but "accredited" is a not really the right
word. The only accredited source is VCAA.

Other publications may be quietly checked in a back room by VCAA before
publication, but they never get a 'stamp of approval'.

(But if VCAA ever slips into the study design a reference to Adam Sandler
or a serial killer - I'll consider myself 'accredited'. Sadly, the only
time VCAA got even *slightly* frisky was a thematic allusion to Charles
Schultz's *Peanuts* characters in the 2008 SD exam's section C
<http://vceit.com/p/postmortem-2008s.htm#c>.)

Neither the textbooks nor vceit.com is kosher, or even halal.

Shameless plug:

I mentioned during the holidays that I'd put up some solutions
<http://vceit.com/wp/informatics/informatics-vcaa-sample-exam-answers/> to
the VCAA sample questions for the new Informatics exam, and encouraged
people to ignore it at their earliest convenience. I am humbly grateful
that everyone took my advice.

But now that you're back at work, awake, and sober, you might find it
useful as a source of discussion with your kids as the end of year exam
approaches.  There are only 121 shopping days until the exam!


Regards,
Mark
