It covers building confidence through timed practice and meticulous error correction using VCAA marking criteria, compiling mistakes, and planning review in the final months. It also recommends smart reading-time strategy, careful keyword-focused answering, and post-exam reflection while staying balanced.","VCE EXAM ADVICE FROM PREMIER’S VCE AWARD RECIPIENTS  \nPHYSICS  \nPRAVIK SOLANKI RECEIVED A PERFECT VCE PHYSICS SCORE IN 2015.  \nMy name is…  \nPravik Solanki  \nI went to…  \nBalwyn High School  \nIn n Physics, I received a score of…  \n50  \nThe thing I liked best about doing this subject was…  \nPhysics is unique in its great capacity to explain things. I found it enhanced my knowledge of both the basic interactions of nature, as well as the technologies we use on a daily basis. I loved that we learned about relatable things like motion and gravity, as well as more abstract phenomena like how light can be both a particle and a wave! Physics encourages us to keep questioning the workings of the world.  \nThe best advice I can give VCE students about this exam is…  \nthe physics exam is noticeably markheavy compared to the other sciences. There is only a minute for each mark, but the calculation questions tend to be mostly routine. Make sure you know yourscientific calculator well. With enough practice, you’ll intuitively know which equation/s you need for a question.  \nThe exam is also unique in that you are permitted to bring a summary sheet to the exam. The trick here is to know your summary sheet intimately, so you know where to find anything in a hurry. I also put all the formulas on my summary sheet, despite most of them being given on the formula sheet provided with the exam. I found that since I had written each formula myself, I knew where to find them and knew exactly what they meant.  \nUse reading time wisely by skimming through the entire exam. A lot of the mental work you do during reading time is setting the scene. If you’re thrown off by something during reading time, just  \nskip ahead and read through the rest of the exam, returning to the confusing section later with whatever time you have left. Always keep in mind that if you come across something unexpected and a little scary, chances are everyone will feel the same.  \nIt’s important to read each question  \ntwice before you answer; it’s too often the case that people calculate something they aren’t being asked to, or give an explanation for something other than what is stated. Pay a lot of attention to key words and phrases, but also look at how they’re being used; it almost sounds trivial, but it’s easy to slip up under pressure.  \nThe best advice I got from my teacher about this exam was…  \nto create our summary sheet efficiently. For each SAC throughout the year, we had been allowed a small summary sheet for that topic. My teacher told us to use our SAC summary sheets as a guide to create our exam summary sheet. This was incredibly helpful; there’s a lot of content to review and summarise right  \nat the finish line, and it’s useful if you’ve been doing it periodically throughout the year.  \nIn the month before this VCE exam, I…  \nwas doing five unit 3/4 subjects, and realised quite early on how difficult it would be to prepare well for all my exams. On top of that, I was also doing Mathematical Methods and Specialist Mathematics, which had two exams each (totalling seven exams), and all seven of my exams were in a row (with only a weekend break in between). Given all this, I had begun exam practice 3 or 4 months before the exam period. I was meticulous and ruthless in correcting each exam as per the VCAA marking scheme, and every exam I did was timed. This slow but effective process built my confidence.  \nIn the week before this VCE exam I…  \ncompiled all my exam errors. I had been writing my mistakes on the exam front covers in red pen clearly, so making a  \nFor more tips like this and for advice about looking after yourself during vce exams, please visit [www.education.vic.gov.au/school/students/pages/vce.aspx](www.education.vic.gov.au/school/students/pages/vce.aspx)  \nlist of my mistakes for each topic was straightforward. I made careful note of mistakes that I had repeated. As well as this, I did the previous year’s exam, which I had saved up for the final stretch.
