[Year 12 SofDev] Advice

[Kevork Krozian]

Hi Samantha,

 Another Cisco instructor !  Your knowledge will go a long way towards
delivering the network knowledge of the course.
 VITTA also have practice exams for SD available now and Swinburne Uni
will run a student exam preparation day in October. While that is a
serious drive from Mildura ( to Hawthorn in Melbourne ) perhaps you will
find it online shortly afterwards.
 You will be lucky to have the benefit of the first year of new Study VCAA
exam as well as the sample exam ( VCAA again ) to give you a feel for the
target.

Good Luck !

Kevork
