Areas that needed attention included the following:  \n􀁸 Students annotating the wrong diagram. This can make interpreting their answers difficult as the diagram they annotated was not designed for that purpose.  \n􀁸 Students not showing full working. The assessors are not assessing the final answer, but rather the demonstration of the physics that results in the final answer. Students should model their responses on the working their teachers show in class. The examination is an opportunity for students to demonstrate their understanding and this is done through complete and structured working. Students who do not show full working may not receive full marks.  \n􀁸 Students giving a response without explaining their reasoning as requested in the question (such as Questions 2c. , 3b. , 12b. , 14b. , 14c. and 15d. ) . For example, for Question 2c. , some students simply wrote ‘shorter’ and provided nothing else. Such responses were deemed to be a guess and were not awarded any marks. Students who gave the correct answer of ‘shorter’ and attempted to provide reasoning were deemed to have given a better response even if the reasoning had not received a mark. Again, the examination is an opportunity for students to demonstrate their understanding.  \n􀁸 Students having difficulties working with graphs. The common errors in Questions 15 and 17 showed that while students were capable of reading graphs , they struggled to interpret or apply that reading. For example, many students gave the work function in Question [15a. as](15a. as) −3 eV, rather than 3 eV, by reading the graph. Many students struggled to find the gradient of the graph they drew in Question 17f. They knew the formula for a gradient but could not apply it to the graph itself.  \nFinally, students are reminded to complete the exam in blue or black pen. They are advised not to write in pencil, as it is very hard to read when scanned ; they risk not being awarded the marks they deserve if the assessors cannot read their work.  \nSpecific information  \nNote: This report provides sample answers , or an indication of what answers may have been included. Unless otherwise stated , these are not intended to be exemplary or complete responses.  \nThe statistics in this report may be subject to rounding, resulting in a total more or less than 100 per cent.  \n2023 VCE Physics external assessment report  \nSection A – Multiple-choice questions  \nThe table below indicates the percentage of students who chose each option.
