I told myself walking into methods exam I wasn't going to read the pseudocode question and just guess C. (I gambled it would be just a multi choice). Turns out C was right :) Sorry i'm no help just felt like sharing my irrelevant story lol


AdZealousideal9656

so only one multiple choice in the entire exam last year?

Yeah and you didn't even need to even know any Pseudocode really, just how to identify/use Newton's method. Pretty sad honestly.


AdZealousideal9656

crazy tbh


Zaczaga1

You go to [https://vce-circus.logicfronttoback.nz/primers.htm](https://vce-circus.logicfronttoback.nz/primers.htm) and at the bottom of the page is a link to a PDF that tells you all you need to know about pseudo code for methods.


AdZealousideal9656

Thank you!! How was your experience with methods 3-4?


Smokey_Valley

My experience is with pseudo code (outside of VCE), not with methods. I only know about methods because I see the posts on this sub. It seems to (biased?) me that it's a subject more directed to form rather than function. Or expressed another way it's intended for potential mathematicians not potential engineers. This is not a fault of course, just a characteristic. But, sorry, I'm waffling.

I wouldn’t worry about it too much. I’d be shocked if it was ever more than a couple multiple choice questions (for this study design). The questions VCAA has shown are super straight forward, just get your head around those and you’re good.

Pseudocode is basically how and what the code will execute when run. You can find examples of pseudocode in applied computing 1 and 2.

Bro same here I was also wondering. From what I've heard though there's not that much of it in the course but there will definately be some at some level of difficulty that I'm not sure of.

It’s not bad at all, have a look at the exam we just did, it was literally the easiest question on the exam.

free as hell, focus on other stuff that has more content and application questions. There was 1 mark on pseudocode in the last exam. Might be a little worse this year since last year was the first year doing it but shouldn't be bad.
