Reduce stress and workloads in Semester 2 by working through course materials ahead of school in a time-efficient and relatively painless manner. Revise Unit 3 course materials to VCAA examination standard and get an edge over your state-wide peers.
Winter School
The winter break gives students the opportunity to get ahead in a time-efficient and relatively painless manner and revise Unit 3 course materials to VCAA examination standard.
Dates: Term 2 School Holidays
Venue: Interactive, Live-Streamed Online Lectures
Get Ahead, Reduce Stress & Improve VCE Marks
- We’ll take you through the key topics from the Unit 2 or Unit 4 course, in a relaxed, step-by-step manner.
- We’ll introduce you to a large collection of potential SAC questions.
- You’ll receive a complete set of A+ notes – saving you the time and effort of producing your own study materials.
- We’ll work through the applications that typically appear in the “open book” mathematics examinations.
- You’ll develop your problem-solving/analytical skills – skills that are needed to get those higher SAC marks.
Here are some other benefits of attending our “Head Start” lectures:
- You’ll absorb more information when the same topics are covered at school.
- Your ability to apply taught concepts will greatly improve, increasing SAC and examination marks.
- You’ll be able to get through your homework faster and won’t “get stuck” on questions as frequently.
- You’ll spend less time preparing for tests and exams.
- You’ll have more time for friends and family.
- You won’t have worry about finding the motivation to get ahead on your own.
- You’ll feel great knowing that you’ve developed a huge advantage over your VCE peers!
- You’ll revise and consolidate Unit 3 while materials are fresh in mind.
- You’ll extend your learning to VCAA exam standard and reduce stress and
pressure at the end of the year. - You’ll make a huge impact on exam preparations with advice from official VCE
exam markers. - You’ll commit knowledge to memory in the shortest amount of time.
- You’ll cover the more difficult concepts within a subject (and not simply revise
basic principles). - You’ll gain additional exposure to highly probable examination questions.
- You’ll develop and extend on problem-solving and application skills.
- You’ll learn how to set out answers in accordance with the marking schemes used by VCAA exam markers.
- You’ll master examination tricks/skills, and learn how to avoid potential sources of errors.
- You’ll obtain a comprehensive set of A+ notes that detail every key concept that may be examined.
- You’ll achieve higher VCE marks.
So maximise your holidays and save hundreds of hours in study time with the TSFX Winter School lectures.
The VCAA exams will assess an entire year’s work, and count for up to two-thirds of each subject’s Study Score. The amount of material that needs to be committed to memory is substantial, resulting in high levels of stress and study in the challenging months leading up to the final VCE exams.
Students can save significant amounts of stress and time by revising and extending on the Unit 3 course to VCE examination standard, while course materials are still fresh in mind. Our “Winter School – Unit 3 Exam Revision” lectures have been designed with this purpose in mind, and to provide students, like you, with the skills and information needed to perform to a high standard in the VCAA exams.
The VCAA Exam Blaster lectures on Sunday 12 July 2020 are specialised programs designed to help students complete the challenging analysis-style questions to a high standard in their Unit 4 SACs and the VCE mathematics exams. Students will derive immeasurable benefits from up to 4 hours of expert advice and instruction, providing
them with a distinct advantage over their subject peers.
Students attending this program will:
# Consolidate key concepts from the Unit 3 course by working through potential examination questions, while simultaneously gaining an appreciation of how taught concepts will be extended upon in the final VCAA exam(s).
# Learn how to interpret and dissect analysis-style questions, and how VCAA examiners award marks.
# Obtain a unique collection of Exam 2 analysis-style questions to further consolidate and extend on taught skills.
These exclusive lectures will be delivered by teachers with extensive experience in teaching Units 3 & 4, and who have been heavily involved in writing or marking VCE exams.
Each Exam Blaster lecture is valued at $200 and is FREE when enrolling into any Winter School subject lecture. Note that the Unit 3 & 4 English text lectures do not qualify as a subject.
Lectures are available in:
Unit 2 Mathematical Methods (2pm – 6pm)
Unit 3 Further Mathematics (9am –12.30pm)
Unit 3 Mathematical Methods (9am – 1pm)
Unit 3 Specialist Mathematics (2pm –6pm)

Why Should I Enrol?
You will be taught by and receive up to date advice from official exam assessors (the focus of the exams and the marking schemes change on a regular basis). Assessors have access to important information that many teachers aren’t aware of, and which can make a significant difference to your ATAR result.
Knowing how the exam marking system works also gives assessors the ability to guide you through the exam preparation process in the quickest and most effective way. You’ll spend your time revising what really matters, and you can’t get that kind of guidance from recent high school graduates who have no teaching experience, and who don’t have access to the detailed insights our teachers provide.
The world’s leading educational specialists agree that lectures are the fastest and most effective way to revise and consolidate large amounts of information in a short time frame. Not only is it much faster to have an experienced teacher take you through the revision process, using audio and visual delivery processes enables you to work through and remember 5 times more information than if you were to work through the same materials on your own.
Chemistry: Over 400 pages of notes and 320 exam-style questions.
Maths Methods: Over 400 pages of notes and 300 exam-style questions.
We constantly invest in our courses and materials to ensure our students receive every possible advantage in their VCE.
Our notes are improved and extended upon each year so that they reflect the annual changes in examination marking and question trends. To help make your exam preparations even easier, we integrate the important concepts and applications from the main textbooks and study resources into our course materials.
Note:
No other program provider has been able to match the quality and depth of materials that are issued to students who attend TSFX programs.
You will learn how examination papers are marked, how answers must be presented if they are to be awarded full scores, why common responses do not earn marks and how to minimise mistakes in the exams. The majority of class time is spent working through examination-style questions, as well as those questions that will serve to differentiate between the A/A+ and B grade scores.
You will gain thorough exposure to the questions and tricks that could appear in the exams. (Students regularly comment that many of the questions they cover during our programs appear in the actual exams!)
You will correct problem areas and to hear information from a different perspective – improving the quality of exam responses and how well information can be applied in unfamiliar applications.
You will strengthen, consolidate and extend on the materials covered at school, and develop an added advantage over your state-wide peers.
You will dramatically reduce stress levels during the semester and find more time for leisure activities.
You will minimise procrastination opportunities and ensure you get the most from your study sessions.
You will greatly improve your confidence levels and maximise Year 11 and 12 marks!
A+ Notes
TSFX is highly regarded for the quality of our program materials – our students receive the most comprehensive and detailed exam preparation notes available that include every key concept that could be examined, as well as hundreds of examination-style questions that are not commercially available. As an example, students who attended our recent ‘Unit 3 Exam Revision Lectures’ received the following materials, saving them countless hours in exam preparation time:
Chemistry: Over 400 pages of notes and 320 exam-style questions.
Maths Methods: Over 400 pages of notes and 300 exam-style questions.
We constantly invest in our courses and materials to ensure our students receive every possible advantage in their VCE.
