Year 12 Lectures

I have recently attended two lectures for my Year 12 studies over the past week. These were English and Specialists Maths and were taken through Access Education, run by Ross Huggard and Raymond Rozen respectfully from Monash University (Clayton).

I highly recommend attending Access lectures.

Not only did we elaborate upon and revisit an entire years worth of information in 2.5 hours (there was no rush surprisingly) but we were also supplied with booklets containing information from the lecture to revise upon, as well as documents to download full of questions and summaries.

On this note I also suggest obtaining a set of booklets that present to you how to write a high calibre essay. The ones I have are covered in yellow. My text response one says:

YEAR 12 2015
ENGLISH
A study guide
containing outcome
and exam style
essays for:
"Stasiland"
This study guide will provide a
better understanding of the
themes, issues, characters
and important quotes.

But I am yet to find it online and provide a link to it. I bought it during the lectures at Monash.

Overall attend lectures, gain some really good study guides, and work hard!


UPDATE: (29/10/2015)

Alright, so now I have also attended the Access lectures for Physics (Sandor Kazi), Chemistry (Chris Dwyer) and Methods (Freda Armstrong) all which were brilliant and provided lots of material to work with.
For those doing Methods, Freda Armstrong is a part of a company know as Maths Turning Point who have their own website which provides questions, tutorials and online help. However there is a fee, but for those freaking out about the exam next week should perhaps consider. Sadly I have not been able to find the website as I write this. The URL I wrote down during the lecture was http://mathsturningpoint.com/ but when I  used it the page did not exist. I will update this if I find it. (This could just be because I have been having shocking internet technical difficulties)

All in all it is advised across the board that VCAA exams are the best for practice, and secondly Heffernan are also good. MAV and NEAP are kind of out of hand...
