Don't feel that bad, many people haven't started exams yet. I have done alot for spesh and methods, couple for EL and none for physics.

Only a few of spesh, methods, english (fragmented, not 3 hours straight yet) so far but SACs have stagnated them too. I tend to concentrate more on concepts and understanding, for physics and chem especially, over exams and seeing as there's 10 weeks left till those exams I'm not too worried about physics and chem so much. Even for spesh and methods I've been doing way more random question sheets we get handed out in class as opposed to exams because the exams tend to have their easy to difficult question range while problem solving and extended response question sheets you get from your teacher are more likely to stimulate thought and allow you to hone your skills. Basically, don't worry about it too much,  just ensure you do a few in the holidays.

Btw, TT is not allowed to answer to this thread for fear of making everyone else feel bad :P

I'd be more scared of his response over here.

But that's normal, I'm sure a lot of kids have finished all the courses but have since revised rather than began exhausting all the exams. Also I know people that have finished the course but then just done another textbook (partially at least). Indeed in the mid-semester holidays there was a poll asking something like that (here it is: http://vcenotes.com/forum/index.php/topic,15068.0.html) and quite a few people had finished by then.

Well then the, 'how many subjects worth of trial exams have you finished' would be the scariest. I know he's exhausted his entire supply of spesh exams already at least =\

Yeah that is just scary, I think he's finished all chem and physics trial exams as well. I think he's got some sort of mass accelerator at home and actually creates time for himself. Or a time turner like in Harry Potter.

Or perhaps the scariest would be if we revived the good ol' debate, "Is TT even human?"

Started Methods trial exams at the start of the year. So far have gone through 20 papers (20 exam 1s and 20 exam 2s). Have another booklet containing exams from the last 12 years which I've just started.

Started Spesh trial exams at the end of term 2. Did the last 8 years worth of exams. Started on a 2nd exam booklet of about 10 trial exams. Aiming to complete at least 20 overall.

Completed Unit 4 checkpoints for Chemistry. Will start trial papers at the very end of this term.

Completed 1 full English exam at the start of this term. Aiming to complete 5 more


And for those wanting to know, for my Chemistry midyear I completed 15 trial exams and all of Unit 3 Checkpoints.
Whilst last year for IT SD I completed 23 trial and past exam papers

Doing practice exams in bulk is no problem for me. It's kinda fun at times :)
