Why the fuck is the syllabus for science so vague and general and even retarded? (1 Viewer)

[melanie_o]

ok hello hater this is the first time i agree with u because the geography syllabus is the exact same and it makes me want to kill myself

Literally, like I was so happy to see 10 dotpoints for only three 'modules' (not including skills) when I first started the geography course but upon further inspection, I realised that each dot point covered so much and left so much up to interpretation that I ended up just relying on ATOMI to help me write notes. Also, the fact that now there is no specific case studies listed in the new geography syllabus, I feel like a sitting duck not knowing how geo is going to go this year as in theory, every school could be doing something different! UGHHHH.

Why the fuck is the fucking reference sheet of chemistry have barely anything? Why the fuck are we expected to memorise ions and acids?

Chemistry shouldn't be a subject that favours memorisation

This subject is so fucking shit sadly I have to do it cause there's literally no other good hsc science subjects I haven't done. I've already withdrawn from stupid ass biology

HSC Chem is scared of VCE Chem's data book . 24 pages! Including solubility rules. VCE Chem baddies should feel so lucky.

And DON'T get me started on the new NESA website! Why is the user interface so cooked oml.

yup with a formula sheet like this I could have dedicated time to learning instead of memorising all the garbage we need to memorise

this is insane oh my god what can they even test people on LMAO

fr bro i swear whoever made the formula sheet made it have minimal info on purpose like they avoid revealing what functional groups are called when they can and name compounds by name rather than formula so it cant give anything away

that's so real, and then physics is the opposite, gives u a bunch of formulas and doesn't name anything

 

[gossipgirllll]

why is everyone so sensitive and dramatic im dying

I WAS DYING TRYNA READ THIS ITS TOO FUNNY

 

[Daq]

The fucking shit syllabus is probably the reason all the textbooks are so fucking shit, they've got no clue to write because the people at NESA don't fucking either

This is what I have been thinking this whole year oml I have no clue what we are doing and it's made worse by the fact that the teachers rush through the content I am having a mental breakdown

vce physics u can bring in an A3 page of ur own notes. its so broken. no questions above 4 marks too

That's not surprising. It's because the questions asked in their physics exam aren't memory based and actually require thinking unlike the hsc, which was ruined by humanities people

Plus if the physics exams are good the only notes you should have are formulas and unit conversions anyway. Like nobody else is memorising a bunch of historical experimental procedures except NSW HSC for a physics exam

the stupid hsc physics exam asks retarded humanities questions "explain the rutherford experiment" "how did the discovery of fundamental particles improve scientific knowledge"

I'm sorry but you're delusional af if you think these questions belong in hsc physics

VCE students have (15 minutes) time to read the entire paper of any exam, while NSW students only get 5 minutes to read 20 pages of questions.

VCE students can also take the question booklet and formula sheet home

VCE students unfortunately have to have English count towards their top 4 subjects regardless of it being the worst subject, where the 2 lower subjects have lower weighting towards atar calculation which can never be English. So their atar process is retarded though
