=Hey everyone,= Here are the lecture notes and powerpoints I have recieved from the Classics in Schools Projects from the VCE Student Lectures. Please feel free to add your own revision material to this site if you have any. We accept all and hope you have a good rest of the year. Liz Were.



I have recently been advised by the VCAA that their sample examination for Classical Studies is now available on the VCAA website. I have also been advised to inform you all that any queries regarding the smaple exam should be directed to the Classical Studies Curriculum Manager, Pat Hincks, 9651 4439 or Pauline Rule from the Examinations Unit on 9225 2360.

I've already seen the sample paper but can't find any criteria for Part A assessment, am I missing something? Ralda Ansons

The criteria for Part A of the exam is certainly more ambiguous than part B, as far as I am aware (and please correct me if wrong), the exam structure indicates that Part A assesses on five criteria: These are chosen to form the questions for Part A of the exam and I assume are therefore valued according to the question's marks (either a 5 mark question or a 10 mark one). I assumed the first four criteria would be used predominately to create 5 mark questions, and the last to create the 10 mark question. If in doubt, please contact Pat Hincks or Pauline Rule on the numbers above. Liz Were
