[vet-mm] EXAM 2005

[ARNOTT Suzanne]

Haven't had a chance to look through it yet...however, all of the kids I
have caught up with (even some of my weakest) were quite positive about
it....
As someone else mentioned, thanks to all who championed our position...
And to those who listened and changed things for us.
Fantastic to have kids walk out on an exam not feeling they have blown
everything they have worked towards.

I thought VCAA got the exam right this year, a good mixture of questions
and fair. No complaints from the kids and no parents complaining either!

Cheers, Sue

I agree Greg, I thought it was a vast improvement on last year! Like
you, my kids all stayed for the full time, and I'm told they all 
had their heads down, working the whole way through.
Whilst I haven't analysed all the questions in depth, they seemed 
straight forward and fair. Some of my kids thought it was easy but I 
could see a few  questions that weren't as simple as they thought and 
will sort out the rankings.
The prac questions were interesting, I liked the multimedia circus
scenario. As per the exam advice, there was no prac scripting question
(thank 
goodness), but rather short answer and multiple choice questions. One 
asking them to read a script and write some lines to modify it. I think
this was a much more reasonable expectation for kids in an exam 
situation.
Interested to hear what others thought.
Claire :-)
