Pretty satisfied with myself these holidays!

Your vce is quite interesting, could you elaborate to me why you were put in an accelerated program at such a young year level and what came out of it? i would die if i had vce for four years x_x.
good luck on this year, hope you get the your scores you're aiming for.
p.s why on earth would you repeat methods seeing how you got 49. 1/2 wrong answers on the exam will see you a 49 aswell =P, you've got quite a hard work load.
-
So far... 4 spesh exams, 3 methods exams, 2 economics, 3 accounting, 3 english essays, plus notes and other assorted work.
wow you've done heaps. I can't believe a quarter of my holidays is gone and i've barely done a thing.

yeh it's a quite a lot but I've got a three day break coming up, from 5pm tomorrow until 7pm Saturday I can't do any work, so I had to get a bit in early.
-
Yeah same! Best VCE Chinese tutor imo. :P
Versatile too! Tamil & Chinese! double whammy

Wow you machine
As for me i half assed writing some chem notes and done a methods exam... really need to get a move on.. going to office works to print a shitload of methods exams... anyway if you're going to office works... if you're printing more than 375 pages its cheaper to print 500. 0-500 pages is $0.08 cents but 501-3001 pages is $0.06..we're going to collectively kill the amazon :D
-
kingpomba, why can't u print at home?
-
get an ipad and do them on there. boom no printing need.
-
^
When you get to the real exam:
"The paper's too dark , need to adjust my brightness on this....oh wait. SHIT I CAN'T SEE MY EXAM."
*starts seeing doodle jump on the exam paper*
-
I wouldn't be surprised if in the near future, all examms are done on the iPad, huh?
Technology these days
-
kingpomba, why can't u print at home?
My printer is busted and anyway its not really feasible to print 500+ pages at home is it? (500 for like 30 bucks might i add my printer cartridges probably costed that much, so in the long run its cheaper)
-
I do my exams on my tablet PC, i could upload a .gif of how easy it is :P (if i knew how to make gifs)
-
that sounds like a pretty awesome way to do exams
-
except erasing ontop of a pdf file is overly complicated, have to go to menu and change to eraser, as opposed to word where you can just use the back of the stylus which is immediately identified as an "eraser"
-

I think it is feasible to print at home, a ream is like 6 bucks, and i buy my cartidges from some cheap asian counterfeit stall.
All in all if I used the whole set itd be like...56 bucks. And aren't you paying like 100+ for your printing at officeworks?
-
30 bucks for 500 pages $0.06 a page... plus id still have to buy a new printer... remember old one is busted... a decent printer is at least what $150, so i'd have to face printing at least that much at office-works to make buying a new printer actually cost less than printing at office works ($150=2500 pages at officeworks... doubt ill print that much)
-
5 ITA trial exams, 2 french exams, CCNA 3/4 prac, studied for the CCNA3/4 comp (1st place!), three english essays, planned two more
pretty proud considering i was pretty sick at the beginning :)

And I've done diddly squat.

Does writing notes actually help?
For spesh i don't bother, chem I kind of do, english and lit a bit but I find doing what the task demands of you : exam/essay is better for me.... if i don't do well then I just consolidate by looking back at my notes.

I don't think so
Doing questions, and noteing down the ones you get wrong and making them your notes is surely better?
-
thats what I thought, error book ftw!
-
2 sets of Methods exams
1 legal exam
1 chemistry exam
1 english exam

I used to do that for my SACs and it did work but then I got lazy and didn't do them in Unit 4... and I got better results because I realised that writing notes is just a waste of time, i rather use those time to practice.

For rote learning type subjects it would but for something like methods, theres really no need at all
It is good if you dont always pay attention in class and need a solid basis in theory though

how do u do ten hours a day.

how do u do ten hours a day.
idk
i got shit mid years . so i know i gotta work my bloody ass off to get all A+ for these exams

To be honest I don't know.
For English I find it nice to have all my arguments and evidence summarized. Making notes helped me raise my expositories from an A to an A+ when I was doing practice ones for the SAC. IMO making notes for English takes care of ideas.
For Spesh though, it doesn't really help that much. I wasted heaps of time last year making really thorough notes for Methods, but this year for Spesh I haven't spent nearly as much time. If I had to compare, I've probably used less than 20% of the time I used for Methods notes on Spesh notes. Yet my SAC results are better. I didn't touch Spesh at all for 3 weeks before the last SAC and still did quite well.
As for Physics and Chem...it's my way of teaching myself the concepts. Our school hasn't finished the Physics course so I had to take it upon myself to make notes for the remaining unfinished portion.
Same for Uni Maths. I don't really listen to the teacher most of the time so I have to teach myself.
-
...it's my way of teaching myself the concepts
Yeah, i always dont pick it up exactly right in class. I like learning my way and the way i think about things, not the teachers thought processes. I wrote heaps of notes for bio mid year and did comparatively few practice exams and still managed an A
-
Lets see, i've done:
1 physics exam
1 chem exam
1 methods exam 1 + exam 2
1 spesh exam 2.
heaps of questions out of the TSFX notes for spesh and physics
heaps of questions out the the spesh checkpoints
i've read and highlighted the most important parts out of my summarised chem notes
and i've found a lot of different prompts for the text response, and am in the process of writing dot points for each one.
-
3 methods exams
2 chem exams
1 physics exam
I'm thinking of doing notes for physics, cause I seriously don't know anything on AOS1 (realised from the 1 prac exam I did), don't know how I managed to pass the SAC for it :S.
English, I plan to start soon...might take kyzoo's idea and make notes, followed by timed essay writing.

lol, btw i heard ur last spesh sac was insane?
I agree that notes with Chem help to refresh the memory and the course.

He's being modest - he was the only person in the SAC to get an A+.

Dunno how much I've done this week. I'll probably do less next week. A lot less.
Maths: 2 exam 2s; 3 exam 1s
Chemistry: 3 tests
English: 2 essays, notes on different sections of the course
French: 1 hour of conversation practice a day, 3 practice comprehensions from exams, research and notes on my detailed study
Physics: Assignment
