[Year 12 SofDev] It is safe to comment on the SD exam.

[Mark]

Really? There's *nothing* in the exam on the differences between - or
activities within - analysis, design, development and evaluation?
That would be a first. VCAA is in love with PSM.

When VCAA settles down on the couch on Friday night, it automatically
reaches for the TV remote, a cask of Cab Merlot, a tub of ice cream, and
the comforting, sensual delights of the PSM.

In fact, when VCAA gets married, it will be to the PSM, which will be cute,
because they will be known as VCAPSM in celebrity magazines.

But what if it's true. VCAA and the PSM have done a Brangelina split?
That's harder to accept than a Trump presidency.

That's *too much* to process in one week.
