Read all the required chapters and lecture notes, jotted down some of my own notes as I went along and did a few questions to help with retention. Being a nerd I was already familiar with a few of the concepts from prior reading and watching YouTube videos but I'm pretty proud of the achievement regardless haha!

Absolutely exhausted now though ): Will probably spend the next few days doing more questions and past exams to make sure there aren't any gaps. Anyone got other tips?

Been awake for almost 36 hours now. Managed to learn the entire chemistry course to a reasonably standard between about 6pm last night and 12pm today.

So yes, I do even SWOTVAC.

I don't even know how people do it.

Rookie mistake! Should've started during semester :P

I don't even know how people do it.

Regretting it a bit now, my mind/body are pretty messed up. Just hoping I don't crash during the exam.

I'm also hoping being a bit underprepared forces me to be on my toes. Throughout VCE I was overly prepared for my chem/Methods exams to the point where I could do no more and this actually tripped me up because I was just too rigid and methodical during the real thing. I really, really hate exams. Damn nerves.

I read that as 'forces me to focus on my toes'.  Glad to be taking a short break now, looks like I need it...

How'd we go with first exams?
(Do people count the exam period as SWOTVAC when you have no exams? My first exam was on the tenth, next one is on the seventeenth... extra days of SWOTVAC)
Was forced to get myself banned on AN in order to study for my first exam. Ended up pushing out 6.5 pages  very comfortably. Not sure if it was worth three days of no AN, though.
✌️just do what makes you happy ✌️

I'm still counting this as SWOTVAC as my first exam isn't till the 19th, so it's really an 18 day swotvac for me. Also you realise you can ban yourself Brenden? (just be careful to tick the right boxes and not permaban yourself), and then you'll have pi messing around with your ban messages -.- (check the ban log).
