First Yr 12 Assessment...HELP!! (1 Viewer)

[tudor182]

Hi, I'm the new Year 12 and we've just received our notice for our first assessment!! It is worth 10% and is skill based (there will be a prac and some observation questions perhaps, I don't know). I'm just wondering what exactly should I study because our Asessement Notice sheet is very vague about it. My teacher says there is "no need to study". Anyway I doubt it because I got a pathetic mark in Yr 11 skills assessment by listening to him....

Any help is appreciated.

thanks

Could you tell us exactly what the sheet says?

If your teacher told you that there's no need to study, then she or he is probably right. 10% is very little, and since it's skill-based, you can't really study for it anyway.

I'm just talking crap here because you need to show me what the notice says!

Usually the skills tests are graphing, interpretting the information because all the answers are on the sheet

When graphing REMEMBER

- Put a title for the graph
- Remember to label the horizontal and vertical axis correctly
- Remember to put the right measurements onto each axis
- Plot the information carefully
- Try and use as much space of the graph as possible
- Put a legend/key if needed
- Use line of best fit, as in don't use a ruler, people often lose marks doing this

Well good luck with it

Thanks. But don't you draw the line of best fit using a ruler when you see there is a trend? And the only time you don't use a rule is when you see a curve or some irregular data?

Go through the syllabus for the topic you're doing and look at the "first hand investigation" dot-points. then i would probably read up some background information from the textbbok. Sometimes they even plan an experiment for the dot-point, depending on which textbook you have. But it is difficult to study for prac-exams.
