90 minutes may seem alot, but in fact, you'll find yourself begging for more. Seriously, you have no time to even lift your pencil, especially in exam 2 :)

I finished with a bit of time left in exam 1, but exam 2 was very tight. You really need to use every second that you have (I guess that goes for all exams really).

As soon as the examines says you may start you have be on the ball ready to go. When its getting closer to the midyear make sure you are doing practice exams so you have an idea of how long it takes you.

yeah, during your practice exams, make sure you time yourself to check the efficiency of your time usage.

just a side question... you know how some people only start to fill in the VCAA number at the front only after the examiners say 'time's up, pen down'? is that actually allowed? when i was doing my chinese end of year exam last year the overseer refused to let this one person write his number down after the time was up...

Wow...that's really harsh. I always did it when they said "pens down", even though the examiners did get a little annoyed. You should be OK, but if you get the same examiner this year (they stayed the same both years I did VCE exams) then I wouldn't risk it.
