Hi John,

 

If you like you can upload it through the share a resource link at the
top of the tree at www.edulists.com.au . This can be used for SACs or
anything else as well.

That will come straight to moi, after which I will post it in the
password protected area of the Yr 11 site.

If you would like for people to contact you directly instead that is
fine too.

 

Take Care

Hi all

 

I have written a Unit 2 Exam based on the Potts text. Not sure how good
it is but am happy to share. Do not want to put it on the list as I know
students access the list. Contact me off-list.

Hi George and all,

 

Thanks for your comments regarding the Unit 2 exam - VITTA will
undertake to produce a Unit 1 and Unit 2 exam in 2012 based on the
feedback that has been received.

 

I wanted to put the issue in context though - as VITTA has not produced
separate Unit 1 and 2 exams in the past and there has not been the
demand for it.  Obviously, we want to produce the exams that teachers
want to use and so clearly there are teachers who want separate exams.
Earlier in the year, after the Unit 1&2 combined exam was published,
there were requests to produce a Unit 2 exam - the best we could do at
the time was to produce a Unit 2 exam from the existing Unit 1&2 exam
(so yes - there may have been an overlap of some questions).  In 2012,
the two exams will be produced separately and there will not be this
overlap.  Our focus has always been on the Unit 3&4 exams to be honest
and there has not really been much uptake of the Unit 1&2 papers.
Another difficulty with the Unit 1&2 papers is that school content can
differ quite a bit more than you would find in either of the Unit 3&4
studies.

 

 

Cheers,

Adrian

Hi,

 

I rang them up yesterday and asked the same question and they said
they'd get back to me. Still haven't heard. But if what you say is the
case then all those that paid for the exams would have a case for
getting half their money back I would say! 

This is ridiculous.

 

Cheers

Hi George,

 

I called up VITTA today and asked whether they were bringing out a Unit
2 exam but was told that they are not, but are considering it for next
year. 

 

I looked at the combined Unit 1 & 2 and as Philip indicated there are
some relevant questions from that exam, however, you would need to
supplement other questions as well. I was also going to look at the
Nelson Cengage practice Unit 2 exam and use some of the questions in
that.

I got sick of waiting so I edited both exams and took out the unit 1
material and put in my own replacement questions to make up two unit 2
exams. Unfortunately I can't share this as the exam is still more than
half paid for VITTA property.

Hi all,

 

I would like to clarify whether the Unit 2 IT exam has been surgically
separated from the initial document sent out early May. I have what
seems to be a Unit 2 exam with: Appropriate multiple choice questions
(different from Unit 1, in any case) but the first 5 questions are the
same as the Unit 1 exam.

Does anyone know whether VITTA corrected this and sent out a complete
Unit 2 exam? It is getting late and if this hasn't been done it would
good to get some movement on it asap.

 

Cheers

George
