Exam preparation

[Lasercookie]

So with 48 days, 13 hours, 30 minutes and approximately 15 seconds to go until the exam, what's everyone's approach to preparing.

I'm aiming to do a practice exam around every two days. The days in between practice exams spent focusing on theory just revising stuff from the textbook, reading the study design and trying to explain stuff everything three dot points, making changes to my cheat sheet and looking over any mistakes I made.

That should get me about ~25 exams done, though I'll probably go to an extreme the week prior to the exam (either go flat out with exams, and do like three a day or take it easy). My main goal is try to perfect my exam technique, I'm going to aim to try to finish with half an hour left for checking over - by the looks of how I'm currently going I should be able to achieve that quite easily.

I've started off with current study design exams, and focusing on those. I'll move onto the older exams and then mix up the order pretty soon. Hopefully I'll be able to find some 2011 exams. I guess there is the danger that trial exams really only cover certain areas of topics consistently, which is why I'm continually looking back over the study design.

Also, I found this thread: Re: TrueTears question thread
It's TrueTear's physics questions thread, it's pretty interesting. He's asked questions about proofs and some of the other finer details. Unit 4 starts from about page 10 and then goes on until page 32.

upload your cheatsheet :DDDDD

upload your cheatsheet :DDDDD

No point in uploading it at the moment, I'm deleting and adding chunks of information on it like wildfire.

Can anyone email me the insight 2011 exam?

So here is my cheatsheet in it's current state. I will be using it for my school's practice exam tomorrow.

The blank places are where diagrams will be hand drawn on.

I will probably improve the Light and Matter section - too much writing there (pretty much copied it verbatim from my sac cheatsheet). I'll also probably add a table to sound for the harmonics and stuff, add a few formulas I missed out (not too fussed though - you can derive most of the energy ones pretty quickly on the exam anyway) and do something with the electric power section (I think I'm missing something that should be on there).

I had to upload to mediafire, the attachment thing here keeps crashing out on me: http://www.mediafire.com/?ltoxjujf0576dv5

MY physics teachers SUX!!! I'm screwed for physics

What's your teacher got to do with anything...?

It's your study and hard work that will allow you to succeed in physics.

That is correct, but you can get demotivated by your teacher when you start learning things incorrectly. But yes it still comes down to how hard you work.

Didn't need to know this. Would rather be oblivious to how long left, but since we're counting down 40 days, 17 hours, 46 minutes and about 30 seconds to go :O

I should have posted a spoiler alert.

'Study' will consist of copying slabs of text/examples out of the textbook the day before the exam. That is all.

Definently, how rude of you

lol at Laseredd's cheat sheet.

Answer to Q1: STUDENT NUMBER
Transformers (Robots in Diguise):
Power is all powerful

Answer to Q1: STUDENT NUMBER
Transformers (Robots in Diguise):
Power is all powerful

I should probably elaborate:
Student number probably should be on there, and it is for certain the first question that will be asked

With all the talk about Transformers, I needed to write it down somewhere. I figure it's better on my cheatsheet than on my exam. I don't think VCAA likes OptimusRoddimus Prime.

"Power is all powerful" serves as a reminder for transmission questions. I couldn't think of a better way to state it. I find it useful to approach these questions by looking at power first. After all, it is electric power.

Going to start trials tomorrow. Got my cheatsheet ready, double sided beast. Wont do more than 25 trials this time around.
