Almost there!!! Yeah i haven't been too productive for the last couple of weeks, but im trying to finish off exambusters/checkpoints for atm. Then start smashing out practice exams. I'd give myself a 6/10 right now - getting homework done and study for sacs, but i havent been doing exam prep at all...

i haven't really done any exam prep for chemistry and methods yet, only studying for sacs for these subjects. I've been writing essays for all 3 sections of the english exam and looked over my revs notes, besides that not that much prep.
Will probably start some hardcore study by the start of the holidays since i will have finished the last of my sacs for the year by the end of this term.

I think i'm doing relatively okay in preparation  for methods and spesh. Done quite a few practice exams for them. I'm really annoyed at myself for chem though. Finished the course on the holidays but i've only done 2 practice exams so far. English is the most annoying to study for since i'm going to fail anyway.. and i'm giving myself a 1/10 for physics. I dont think i've done any textbook questions since around April/May.

English: Done the texts I'm writing on
Methods: Up to Chapter 4D
Spesh: A couple of chapters to go
Physics: Haven't really started Unit 4 yet, winged one SAC
Chem: 2/3 though

It's so hard to fit in "extra prep time" when there's countless sacs, homework tasks + relax time.

I'm not worried about the two IT exams. Maths should be good. English I'll have to wing it -- legal studies come the **** at me!

I feel exactly the same. Yeah Spesh and English will make the difference between a 97 and a 99.95.

Hahaha yeah pretty much, not that I'm aiming for quite that high but English pretty well determines anything in the 99s!

I can't believe how fast exams are approaching either! Feels like we just finished midyears...
But yeah, 1 prac exam for spesh done and that's all. Rest of my time has been used procrastinating and studying for SACs. :) My only major worry is English... -_-

Like I've said in a number of threads already; start practice exams as soon as possible. Start compiling all your notes and have them done by the start of the term 3 holidays at the latest.

^^ im rethinking about doing notes anymore and just study straight from the book...highlight everything since i don't want to miss anything....so reckon its a bad idea?? making notes takes way too much time and i hate it..and talk about my atrocious hand writing makes it soo annoying to read...

Taking down notes, and studying straight through your book is a good long run for 2-4 weeks. After-hand, i guess you should do trial exams, and work it through in exam conditions.

It's best not too spend too much time taking notes though. Going into detail on every little thing would be mostly repetitive and time-consuming.
Once you start practice exams you can figure out your weak points and focus most of your notes there.
