顶级VCE维州高考教师谈论考试技巧

jinluo

吃得健康。不要在最后一分钟临时抱佛脚。获得充足的睡眠和锻炼。建立正确的考试观念。这是每年12年级的考生所得到的建议。但我所得到的最受益的建议是来自我的现代欧洲历史老师。他眨巴着眼睛建议我们把妇女对俄罗斯和法国革命中的作用包括在我们的文章里。这在1990年初是政治正确的，我一直都认为这小小的提示使我多得了几分。因此，二十年多年来，我一直授之以鱼，并要求一些顶级VCE老师，传授给学生一些小提示。

Karen O'Gorman是Haileybury中学的数学主任，是维州第二热门科目高等数学（further mathematics）简短回答的考官之一。

对31，000多名参加高等数学考试的考生的提示是，仔细阅读维州课程及评核局的网站上考官对往年考试的报告。 “每年考试的常见错误，” O'Gorman女士说。 “通常，如果往年考生在某方面做得不好，将会重新出现在第二年的考试中。”她的建议范围从看似显而易见 的事情，如“仔细检查计算器计算部分- 不要犯简单的错误”到一些考前技巧：寻找那些没有包括在选择题考试中的概念。利用周末把这些概念学习一下，以备简短回答考试”。

Caulfield Grammar 中学的心理学老师Michelle Foran女士，15年来一直批改VCE考试试卷。与其它学科不同的是，心理学鼓励学生使用小点来回答问题。 “不过小点应展开论述，否则就会被混淆和混乱，”她说。

Foran女士告诉她的学生仔细用心读题 - 如果读得太快，可能混淆了比如心理和生理上的问题 - 并确保拼写正确。 “去年很多考生写到“便利样本”而不是“任意抽样”。这样的小地方真的很愚蠢，但如果因拼写错误而改变了意思，你就会失去分数。”

Balwyn中学高中部主任Josie Millard，多年来他班上的都有一定数量的学生在健康和人类发展学科得到50满分的学习分数。

“顶尖的学生能够把健康和人类发展以及千年发展目标的可持续性，和每一个影响健康的因素相关联起来，”她说。

有超过43，000考生在本周三参加英文考试，Mount Scopus Memorial中学的Maria Spackman-Williams呼吁学生不要超时，而不能完成考试。

“每一部分都是一样的分数，因此每一篇文章不要花费超过一个小时，”她说。

如何获得更多的VCE分数

英语 ：Mount Scopus Memorial 中学的Maria Spackman-Williams

一般提示 ：

记得带上一本字典。

用黑色或蓝色钢笔。

三部分考题中，每部分花费不超过一小时。

在开始写一篇文章前，暂时停一下笔。

请确保你没有超时。

所写的文章必须有结尾。

A部分：文本回答（Text response）

选择两个问题中的一个

第一段引言部分要直接了当地点明主题。

在整个文章中阐述展开论点要相一致。

仔细看看问题中的关键用语并理解它们的含义。

文章中的各段应不断地扩展你的论点。

结尾应总结概括你的论点

不要背文章并将它重复在考试中。文章问题要非常仔细提出，每一个关键术语都需要提到。

但是，你需要广泛学习文章中的引用句。

例子和证据都只能从文章提取。

B部分：写作语境  （Writing in Context）

会给你对什么问题进行回答的提示，这将会是一个普遍的说法。 （去年的VCE考试的提示是：“良心的冲突正如个体之间的冲突一样困难”）。

B部分，你将决定是否写一篇想象文（如日记），或说服文或说明文。无论选择什么样的格式，你必须写与提示相关的内容。

你需要展示你对文本的知识，而且可以超越它，并借鉴相关理念（如时事，你自己的经验）来展开你的论点。

不要只是复述故事，你需要探索文本，从中阐述你的想法。

C部分：语言分析 （Analysis of language）

在所给的阅读时间里，对书面材料阅读三遍以上。在阅读时间结束时，你应该已经对整个问题有了印象。

你需要把重点放在特定的短语上，并分析作家是如何运用语言来给折服读者。

您还需要分析视觉材料是如何用来折服读者的。

高等数学 （Further Mathematics ）Haileybury 中学数学系主任Karen O'Gorman

一般技巧

阅读维州课程评核局网站上考官的报告。它们很清楚的列出往届考生常见的问题。通常，这些概念会重新出现在第二年的考题里。

考试一：选择题

首先排除那些明显的错误选择。例如，矩阵和图形的题目，先寻找不可能的答案。你就可以从三个答案中排除一个。如果你必须作一个猜测，你猜对的机会就更大。

看看以前的试卷。如果你比较一下过去五年的选择题，你可以得到题目的模式。

将自己做的笔记带到考场。虽然很多学生是带他们的课本进考场，但笔记更针对考生个人，而且解释是以用你看得懂的方式。

如果你发现你在考前做练习时总是在某个类型题目上出错，把对此类题目的解题步骤记在你的笔记本上，如果考试中碰到类似的问题，就可以参考。

在模块部分，第一个问题是最简单的，后两个是最难的。密切关注时间，在最后两个问题上用更多的时间。

考试二：简短答题

寻找那些没有包括在选择题考试的概念。学习它们，因为它们很可能在简短答题里。

总是写出你的解题步骤，这样你可得2分。如果原理是正确的，即使答案是错的，你也可以得1分。

先做你最擅长的模块。这样你会有更多的时间做较难的的模块。这个顺序可以在阅读题目时间里决定。

回答每一个问题，即使你不确定答案。这会给你得分的机会。

不要犯简单的错误 - 仔细检查计算和用计算器计算的公式。

Psychology

Michelle Foran, Head of Wilsmore House - Senior School, Caulfield Grammar School.

General tips

*   Psychology has changed dramatically in the last few years. A lot of the content students were previously required to know has been deleted. Focus on practice exams that are from the last 2 years - these are a better reflection of the course that changed last year.

*   Don't just passively read notes when preparing for exams. Ask parents or friends to test you by turning headings into questions, ie. "Tell me about the HPA Axis"

*   Do not write outside the borders on the exam papers as these areas are not scanned and examiners cannot see them. If you run out of space, write an asterisk and a note directing examiners to go to the back pages of the exam paper.

*   Make sure your spelling is correct. If a misspelling changes the meaning of a word you will lose a mark. For example, last year, a lot of students wrote convenient sample, instead of convenience sample, which has a different meaning.

Multiple choices questions

*   Read the questions carefully and mindfully. If you are in a rush you could confuse words such as psychological and physiological.

*   Underline command terms

*   Trust your instinct - don't second guess yourself.

*   Don't be anxious that every question is a trick question. Not all questions are really hard. If there is a term you haven't come across that is probably not the right answer. There tends to be always two questions that are clearly wrong - cross these out straight away.

*   There are 65 multiple choice questions. Spend about a minute on each and complete that part of the exam in an hour.
Short answer questions

*   Devote about an hour to this section

*   Answer questions with dot points but don't simplify your answer too much. Still explain your answer clearly.

*   As a rule of thumb, if a question is worth one mark you need to make two points. Two marks and you need to make four points.

*   However if a question is worth one mark, do not make four points. Only the first two will count.

Always refer to a scenario in a question - so if a question is about Sarah's memory problem make sure that you refer to Sarah in your answer - don't make your answer a generic one about memory.

Extended response question

*   Look at the extended response and short answer questions during the 15 minutes of reading time.

*   Jot down the subheadings you are going to cover in the extended response question before you begin the multiple choice questions. That way you already have a skeleton you can add to if rushed for time at the end of the exam.

*   Answer the extended response question with a series of dot points rather than in essay form.

Health and Human Development

Josie Millard, Director of senior school, Balwyn High

*   The hardest questions are likely to be around the interrelationship between health, human development and sustainability. The highest order students will be able to interrelate health, human development and sustainability around every millennium development goal and around every factor that impacts on health.

*   "Global health" is a concept that was clarified by the Victorian Curriculum Assessment Authority this year so students absolutely need to know it. If asked about global health, students need to use language that indicates they understand health on a global scale. Ie "Life expectancy has increased on a global scale.

*   The study design for Health and Human Development has changed this year, so students need to be careful if using notes from previous years. For example AusAID no longer exists, so students need to refer to DFAT or the Australian Government. The VicHealth Mission has changed and students need to know an immunisation program as well as programs on safe water and sanitation, literacy, food security, HIV/AIDS and malaria

*   You need to be able to name the nine National Health Priority Areas (NHPAs) exactly. You cannot refer to cardiovascular disease as an NHPA, it must be 'Cardiovascular Health'. 'Dementia' was new in 2013 and wasn't tested last year, so you never know….

*   In a question that asks you to describe or explain make sure that you make the same number of points as the marks allocated to the question.

*   Read the exam questions carefully - there are no trick questions.

*   Make sure you spend the 15 minutes of reading time to carefully read all of the stimulus material. Be sure to read all aspects of any data including the headings, sources and units of measurement so that you are able to refer to these in your response.

*   In order to get full marks for a question which refers to stimulus material you need to refer specifically to the stimulus in the answer. For example, if you are asked to evaluate a program which is outlined in the exam, you need to refer specifically to that program in the answer.

*   The hardest questions are worth six to eight points. Plan your answers, even if it is just a dot point diagram. It is easy to waffle in health exams and use up most of your space on the first point when you still need to make five points. You will still get points for your diagrams if you run out of time refer the examiner to the plan.

*   Do not get the Social Model of Health and the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion mixed up. You should be able to apply either of them to a health program and demonstrate an understanding of each of their specific actions.
