VCE matters: Tell us your best study tips - Education - News - Lilydale & Yarra Valley Leader

VCE matters: Tell us your best study tips - Education - News - Lilydale & Yarra Valley Leader

Every time I read an article in relation to VCE I can find at least 10 things wrong with it - and that's not even the scary part; the scary part is that in each and every new article at least one but usually more of each of those things wrong is precisely the same as in the previous article. Sadly, if you keep repeating something long enough it becomes common knowledge and therefore, inevitably, the truth.

In this article however, I am finally happy to say that that was not the case. But this is probably because the article is kind of short and only has a couple of points to make. One of those points, an important one, is that of Dr Andrew Fuller who claims that, through research, he had found that "high achieving" students were the ones who had consistent approach to studying throughout the year as opposed to those who started their revision late. While Dr Fuller has found this to be the fact he has either obviously missed the reason as to why this is the case or skillfully avoided at pointing it out. (I place "high achieving" with quotation marks because achievement in VCE is not achievement in the traditional sense of the word because achievement would mean to achieve something valuable and brute forcing exams for a year is certainly not an achievement but an exercise that reduces its undertakers IQ by say 10%. If you want to know why please read my other article "VCE Fails").

Back to Dr Fuller. So the real reason why "high achieving" students (those with higher ENTERs) are the ones with consistent approach is Not because they were putting things in perspective 20mins per subject per day, but because they were better trained at the forced exam preparation (a term I defined in the article "VCE Fails"). That's really all there is to it, as I have at length described in "VCE Fails", forced exam preparation is like a magic elixir that you drink and it makes everything better. And no paper has yet stated this fact simply because it sounds too scary to be true, even though, through careful observation and reasoning, this truth becomes rather obvious.

So off you go, and if you take in properly all my advices that you can find on this blog I can everything but guarantee you a great "success" with your VCE. Again, I use quotation marks for "success" in this case because it can mean 2 things. One - you want a high ENTER and don't care about what you learn - great, I've given a recipe for that in my main article ("VCE Fails"), or two - you want to learn a lot of useful things and want to be able to enter your desired course - great again, as I have a recipe for that too in the same article, though slightly harder to achieve but still doable.
