“Now You Too Can Quickly And Easily,  Skyrocket Your VCE Grades Without Stress, Tears Or Tantrums. Here's how…"

From: Heath McGregor, Sunday 27/4/08

Dear Friend,

It’s hard to believe that you’re already almost half way through your VCE, the exams are approaching and the pressure is mounting.

The enormity of this great challenge lies ahead of you…lets examine the facts that you will have to conquer in order to succeed in 2008 and beyond.

Let's examine the facts:
This year 30% or 16,960 students who applied for a university position have had their hearts broken because they have not been offered a position.  One in every two students who applied for an education course were bluntly rejected. Almost 50% of students who applied for nursing were unsuccessful and did not reach the cut-off required for the course.  
…and these are just a handful of the perils and challenges that lay ahead of you during these next 11 months.

According to a 2002 study of VCE students’ homework behaviours and stress (by Gerard Kennedy & Nadya Kouzma of Victoria University) concluded that VCE students are failing to manage their time and resources effectively to handle the workload at VCE level.

Their alarming results…

• VCE students are completing an average of 37 hours of homework per week
• Some VCE students are spending up to 65 hours a week, every week.

This is on top of the standard 8 hour school day and is a one way ticket to stomach ulcers, VCE burnout and illness of which most notably Glandular Fever and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Glandular Fever and it’s cousin Chronic Fatigue Syndrome have reached epidemic proportions during the VCE years and have caused many VCE students to seek special consideration during exam time for affected performances or even complete their VCE over 3 years.

Somewhere, somehow things have gone terribly wrong for VCE students.

Students are risking their health, and their results, by facing large amounts of pressure, stress and illness as they enter adulthood. According to the Victorian Government guidelines for Years 10 to 12 students should spend between 90 minutes and three hours on study each weeknight, and up to six hours at the weekend during peak study periods.

This equates to a maximum of 21 hours per week. So the disparity between what is recommended for VCE students and what is a VCE student’s nightmare is close to 16 hours difference each and every single week for an entire school year. 

Over the course of a VCE school year that equals 32,640 minutes in wasted time through procrastination, poor time management and ineffective, outdated study habits…it's no wonder student's are stressed.

Ouch! Can you imagine the stress and pressure of trying to catch up and cram 32,640 minutes of missed study time leading up to your VCE exams when time is extra precious?

If you think I’m grossly exaggerating this is backed up by some 2002 research by Suzanne Warner of Swinburne University, who found that:

1. 74% of students consistently procrastinated
2. 79% of students were constantly distracted when studying.
3. Only 40% had made a study and homework schedule.
4. 55% had made some summaries of topics
5. Success was due "more to luck" or "the teacher likes me"
6. The underlying issue was a fear of failure that held students back.

The bottom line is that despite your best efforts in previous years, despite all your preparation for this year and all your assistance from teachers I’m sorry to say it just may not be enough to get you into the university course that you desire.

According to Dr. Kobus Neethling, A South African Academic, a worldwide research project in 2001 showed that "education systems consistently fail to engage more than 70% of pupils".

But surely Australia leads the way in primary and secondary education, right?

As a teacher and educator I'm embarrassed to say - we don't. A 24 country UNICEF study (2002) measured the differences in academic performance between the weakest and the average students in each country. Australia only managed to rank 15th out of 24 countries. In some cases the gap is so large that some students are the equivalent of many school years behind their peers.

Can you imagine working so hard all year to get the results that you want and then missing out by a few measly points? Just ask one of the 16, 960 students who missed out this year how they feel!

There is a way…

Would you like to know the very same secret, high performance strategies and time-saving resources that elite VCE students have been using for years to excel in the VCE and skyrocket their grades?

Testimonial from a VCE student:
 "I just wanted to say how valuable the VCE toolkit was to me. I had all the resources right there, and even though I had it all year, I only started using it in the second semester (stupid me, i know) but when I started using it properly, I lifted my grades two letters!
In most cases, my marks went from a D to a B or B+, and Its all thanks to the VCE toolkit! Listen to the people that have done it already, and you will find out just how they did it, and then you can put those tips into practice.
Sincerely, Verity Lissenden (2005 VCE Student)

Can you imagine if this VCE student had begun to use the VCE toolkit at the very beginning of the school year? Her results and momentum would have snowballed into what could have easily been A’s or A+’s.

• Would you like to know the secrets of elite VCE students?
• Would you like this information right now to start your VCE with a flurry of A's and A+'s on VCE SACS's?
• Do you want to be able to impress you friends with your new found abilities?
• Do you want to be able to learn proven success strategies that will give you the confidence to succeed and eliminate that fear of failure?
• …and do you want to master these strategies 100% risk free and guaranteed to skyrocket your VCE grades without stress, tears or tantrums.

Testimonial from a VCE student:
"Thank you Heath for each and every email that you have sent me so far. They have really been so helpful and encouraging, especially during the my difficult times through out my year 11. You gave me so much hope and a sense of hopefulness to apply new and better techniques to study efficiently and become successful. They were really worth more than the 35 dollars that I paid to buy the VCE toolkit. There are so many other students facing the same problems that I faced before but I feel so sorry for doing the wrong thing and their efforts go wasted. You could really make a huge difference only if your messages reached every one doing VCE. Once again I really appreciate your efforts and struggles through out the time." Abdul Noor (2005 Year 11 VCE student)

Testimonial from a VCE parent:
" Dear Heath, I've had quite a good perusal of the CD we bought for Erin for VCE next year and the following year. It is an invaluable resource and I found myself actually working through some exercises and practice exams and I've already done my HSC 25+ years ago!!!!!!! There is much to like about it from snippets of nutrition, lighting, etc. , websites on different modules to exam tactics. One of the things that impressed me was the fact that a student could click on any topic and get a solid understanding of it even before the topic was discussed in class, thereby gaining maximum benefit when the topic was introduced in class. Another thing that impressed me was that legible handwriting (not necessarily perfect) was important to examiners. I'm sure that Erin will gain full benefit from using this tool at her disposal. Thanks for alerting me to the existence of the CD in the "Learn" liftout of the "Herald-Sun." Well done guys. Carna Cats." Denise Hammond. (2007 VCE Parent)

Testimonial from a VCE student:
" To all at vce help. I just wanted to give you a quick email to thank you for your wonderful efforts and help during the year. I purchased the (tool)kit at the start of the year and found it so valuable! I loved your emails during the year, as they kept me on track towards my goals and allowed me to know that almost all other yr 12's at the time where feeling exactly the same as me!

I am more than willing to help you if you need anything. I had a heavy work load of sporting commitments through my netball this year: which consisted of coaching, playing, training, travelling and being away for weekends many times through out the year. I also had a social life and maintained close friendships and a strong relationship with my family. Last monday I received my enter…I was stoked.

I just wanted to let upcoming vce students know that it is possible to actually have a life outside vce- it actually really helps.

Thank-you so much for all your great work. Keep it up, it really does help."
