Last day of term 3, and will be the last of "school holidays" for many of us. In anticipation of the exams, you'd have gotten the massive pile of exams and study as the last set of "holiday homework", and the paper are still warm from the photocopier, neatly stacked on your desk somewhere...
What does your pile look like?
here's mine:

In my opinion, I would say that many would be a waste of time, any more than 40 practice exams over a two week period, even a month till the exams is enough. More than that and the benefits of doing them extra 20-30 is useless.
-
Yeah, I agree with Damo17.
We're just humans right. Relaxation and giving yourself some leisure time is probably more beneficial than taking your 40th paper.
-
are those for all your subjects mao?
-
Yeah, I agree with Damo17.
We're just humans right. Relaxation and giving yourself some leisure time is probably more beneficial than taking your 40th paper.
The worse thing you can do to yourself at this point in time is burn yourself out.

But I only have one year 12 subject. Sometimes in life, my friend, we tend to make sacrifaces for our own ambition. Sacrifaces that allow us to reach our dreams and goals.

It took me a while for it to sink in I was sitting the actual Specialist Maths Exam 1. It really felt like just "another paper." Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing though..
-
Right, danieltennis. I'm arguing that relaxing and giving yourself leisure time is more likely to help you reach your goals, than doing the 40th paper.
-
Right, danieltennis. I'm arguing that relaxing and giving yourself leisure time is more likely to help you reach your goals, than doing the 40th paper.
Because, as I added, doing that 40th paper could burn you out and in fact cost you in your exam.

WTF?!?!WHOAAA :D
Hmm...do you need to pay to print??
I have to pay at my school :( so ii cant afford to print that much :P
-
Danieltennis, do you know if we have to pay at SJRC? People tell me mixed things. Some people say it gets added to your school fees while someone else said you don't pay as long as you don't abuse the priviledge. I hope we don't have to pay cause I've printed at least 1000 pages during the course of the year and I'd be scared to see the cost...
-

AHHH.. these are the exams for all my subjects (excluding english).. I had over 100 further maths practice exams but NO WAY am I going to be them all over these holidays.
-
But I only have one year 12 subject. Sometimes in life, my friend, we tend to make sacrifaces for our own ambition. Sacrifaces that allow us to reach our dreams and goals.
I am not specifically saying not to do all of them, I myself will be doing around that many for methods but it will be over a period of 6 or so months. All I am trying to say is be careful of how many you do in such a short period of time to try to prevent yourself from 'burning out'.
-
How many practice exams do you guys do? Bloody hell.

Nah, we don't have to pay for printing. I've asked a few teachers around (Mr Parker) and they said we don't need to due to last year, too many people were complaining they had no printing money.

NOOO YOU PEOPLE ARE TREE MURDERERS
the only printed out exams I had were ones I got from school, the rest I had the exams on my computer and I just wrote the answers on loose leaf paper

Why can't you print 2 pages to a page? :P

I'm no tree murderer. The trees are already murdered by companies who want monetary gain. I'm just finishing their jobs and giving money to employees to feed their families.
-
wouldnt that pic include solutions???? or are they exams ONLY?
reality check guys....
you arnt gonna get that all done before exams. ur gonna tired urselfs WAY OUT.
you guys should already feel burnt out from this year....
yeah it will feel like "another paper" but... stupid. u guys will be to tired to even SIT the exam let alone START the bloody thing...
-
It's easier (as in to continually do more) to do maths trial exams as its just numbers. Do you know how bored you get writing out the same answer every time in a Legal Studies exam?

Pretty much exams itself. If i burn myself out, I'll play tennis. :D
-
but legal IS THEORY. its not plugging shit into formulars or stuff like that. legal takes upon structure and detail of answers. so i reckon it would be good to do plenty of legal revisions :)
danieltennis: for methods itself... if yes... dude ur just lieing to yourself....
-
agree with the burning out thing but I have to say doing tonnes of methods papers helped me immensely (even though I started having methods dreams ><) because during both exams there was not a single question which I hadn't seen before, so it was a breeze, and I'm really quite fail at maths (though that might just be because the 2006 papers were way too easy)
Why can't you print 2 pages to a page? :P
BECAUSE IT'S STILL MURDERING THOSE POOR TREES :'(

My friend, 'WHEN NOTHING SEEMS POSSIBLE EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!' Isn't that your school motto?
-
nah i wouldnt stack myself TO THE MAX like some have. that was just way to many methods. what about other subs? is it possible to know EVERYTHING in an actual sub???? :s

My friend, 'WHEN NOTHING SEEMS POSSIBLE EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!' Isn't that your school motto?
dude that doesnt relate to bloody practice exams... i reckon thats KILLING urself right there.... know ur limits dude.
that motto was intended for yr 12 future and dreams. when in doubt about the future anyhting can happen....[especially to exams. our school has gone through some big doubts with yr 12s beginning to think that they "wont make it" to uni] ... not to ur pile of methods exams...
so dont pull that stunt on me :) ty...
-
When i feel i'm burning out, then i stop. Exams can help immensely in the exams and can be a major aspect of optimising your scores. When I can answer every question given to me, then i stop. :)

errrrrr did i say nething about not doing exams??? duh they are gonna help
im just sayin. reality... you may not get through them all..... it cant all possibly be methods and methods and more methods...
-
dont discourage him, different things work for different people, he'll probably get a better result then you because of those papers
-
but legal IS THEORY. its not plugging shit into formulars or stuff like that. legal takes upon structure and detail of answers. so i reckon it would be good to do plenty of legal revisions :)
I never said that it woodnt be good to do plenty of legal revision/exams. Straw man.
All I said was that it is easier to do say 10 methods exams if you know your shit then it is to do 10 legal exams where you have to write a a 2 page essay for just the 10 mark question meaning you write ten 2 page essays for one sixth of the mark allocations whereas in maths if you know your stuff, you are just working things out, not writing tedious essays.
-
what works is different for everyone :) so stop arguing and start STUDYING :P
-

lol once again... mis interpretation.
exams are a GOOD thing. but dont TIRE urself out to the MAX. good luck to him. i wish him all the best for methods...
bit harsh dont u think??? talk about DISCOURAGING... O.o

Haha, you don't think firms will revise their production schedule according to consumer demand? You are subsidising the murder of trees. I am too, but nobody cares (except lunatics).

No, the Ipod was used in the image to show balance and feng shui. I didn't want to fear members and myself the amount of exams and work we going to face the next few months, so the ipod was used to ease of the stress and imply that the next few months isnt all just work. In terms of Feng Shui, the ipod was used to improve the environment, harmony and mental abilities in VCENOTES community.
-
Well... To get on the topic of 'to do' and not 'to iPod'... I have 13 practice essays for English (I was about to make it 14, but I got distracted when I was printing, and furthermore, the cartridge ran out whilst I was printing it, lol :P). I have 2 methods practice exams, and 1 specialist practice exam (already ascertained the fact that I will not get anything above 20 raw for these subjects, so why waste my time on them?). Then 4 for Italian (also practice questions for the oral... October 9 is soon!). And finally, 17 for legal (I hate my legal teacher... He makes us do every exam regarding legal on the face of the planet). SO all up these holidays, I have 37 practice exams to complete over the holidays. Going to University lectures doesn't help either. :P
If I burn out, I only have myself to blame :(

-
I will do approximately:
30 Methods papers
10 Further papers
10-15 English papers (if I counted each prompt/article-analysis I tried as one paper)
7 Phyiscs papers
3 Economics papers
Unlikely to get them all done over these holidays but I think I can handle this much over the next month.
-
hmm im hoping to do
25 further papers
25 methods papers
3-4 english, maybe not even that
15 BM papers
and chem can get screwed, might just do checkpoints.

I want to create a wall of text. One so desolate in squat stature and verbosity that even the greatest of patience will not suffice to read, comprehend or perform any function of the sort in relation to it. I want this wall of text to be posted in the middle of a thread where it will be in the way of any coherent discussion, demanding to be ignored as it is simply too engorged of its own character count to begin to interest the casual poster into attempting to tackle and struggle against its sheer and stark lexicographical face. I want to piece together this wall word by painstaking word as if a master bricklayer labouring with cement and trowel in the desert of an endless day, scorched by the sun of a perpetual noon but not in a way that is remotely compelling or praiseworthy as this would be counter to its purpose. No, this wall shall be an edifice to difficulty, to servitude, to the sheer weight and oppressive force of a repellent literacy, breaking the back of and indenturing any who dare read its horrible bulk into a laconic, infinite and aching wade against an irrepressible quagmire of verbal slag. I want people to know this wall of text hates them and they are not welcome as they scan through it; yet they should know that it is aware of their presence and feeds off the incoherency it creates in their minds as it saps their concentration. Look, a bird. I know some will try to press on and my wish is that they feel the hands of the lost souls who came before them dragging them, stalling them, pulling them down to a despair and weariness where the only relief is to abandon the paragraphs of cold iron to the airy freedom of white space beyond, drinking in the sweet relief of the swift and subtle posts below.

No, this wall shall be an edifice to difficulty, to servitude, to the sheer weight and oppressive force of a repellent literacy, breaking the back of and indenturing any who dare read its horrible bulk into a laconic, infinite and aching wade against an irrepressible quagmire of verbal slag. I want people to know this wall of text hates them and they are not welcome as they scan through it; yet they should know that it is aware of their presence and feeds off the incoherency it creates in their minds as it saps their concentration. Look, a bird. I know some will try to press on and my wish is that they feel the hands of the lost souls who came before them dragging them, stalling them, pulling them down to a despair and weariness where the only relief is to abandon the paragraphs of cold iron to the airy freedom of white space beyond, drinking in the sweet relief of the swift and subtle posts below.

Wot's lexicographical?
COBLIN!~
:D
I read that independent of the question 'where did you get exams from' and instead as a to do pile :(
ROFL. I'm on her to-do pile!
You're on mine, too. ;)
Lol!! Mel... u're being influenced 2 much me-thinks.

lexi = word
graph = something to do with how it looks
other than that I dont know ;P
And contrary to what people believe, I did know *some* things before excal. My main problem is you guys have 10 words for the same thing and I only know one of the words, so I'm like o_O then ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh thattttttt.
i've known what doing someone means since primary school/early HS \o/

I see most of you print the exams from the school printer. Our school, instead of using the money invested in making the teachers' lounge fancier for free student printing, charges us for printing.
Does anyone know where I can get free/cheap printing from? Is Officeworks okay? (Never been to check :( )
We received practice exams and despite them being in hard copy, we can't write on them (or we pay).

..... should i be concerned right about NOW?!
-
Whee thanks a lot for the links Toothpick. I never knew the printing service was so.. advanced. (Can't think of any word to describe it :( )
-
do you get some money on your printing account at the start of each year? either way, you could log into someone else's account and go nuts.
orrr you could save all the exams on a usb or send them to you email inbox, and answer the questions on normal pieces of paper. you don't really need to have the physical copies to be able to complete the exams!

My to do pile will take >150 hours.....
So unless i spend 6 hours on exams each day from now on, its not gonna get done :(
-
Try to do some of it, but don't force yourself to do too much/set unreachable goals since this might make you feel more anxious than you really need to be. :)

Awww thanks :)
Yeah, i'm gonna start being serious about it now.
But the main problem is, i'm not feeling anxious, stressed about it at all :P
I don't know why. I have like 25 days left till english exam, but i don't feel anything :(

what have u've been doing all this time?
This holidays i have just been having fun, enjoying the break...even tho i should have been studying.
I feel quite guilty now, for wasting so much time :(
I originally did set goals and planned what i wanted to get done on the holidays...
but i don't know what happened, i just wasn't in the mood to study.
I had quite a bit of spare time, but i just slept, went on the net etc :(
I just hope i can get back in the studying mood soon, hopefully going back to school will help.

this thread makes me feel sad
-

and now i kinda do feel alot more confident. but i feel like shit knowing i didnt do anything these hols ^^
-
this thread makes me feel sad
Why? :(
-
if anything this thread makes me feel happy that I'm not the only one procrastinating :P
-
@ *Roxxii*
haha becuzz it reminds me of what i set out to do for the holidays and ive barely done any of it
but hopefully getting back to school will help
-
Hmm. I didn't do what I would have liked to have done.
I'm happy because I revised most of Unit 3 for Economics.
I'm happy because I went to TSFX English lectures (but need to go through and actually figure out how I can put into practice what I was told there).
I'm happy because I finished the Accounting course as of tonight (but havent started revision).
I'm happy because I did a BusMan trial and was able to answer all questions with a good deal of confidence.
However I'm not happy because
-I didn't reread AMFAS for English
-I didn't do at least one essay for each part of the english exam, I just started a language analysis and got bored.
-I didn't start Accounting revision
-I didn't touch a Further Maths book.
-

Awww, yeah, exactly the same with me :(
Oh wells, we still have a bit of time.
Hope all goes well for ya :)
I'm considering asking to be banned from VceNotes and irc for a while... :P lol
-
I've almost finished my pile [thank God]
all except the English Language component. Which I haven't even looked at yet...
shit.
-
Whoa :o ...how big was your pile Mao?
Hmm, not too surprising tho, hello soon to be VN dux :P

Haha thanks for the tips! No we don't get credit every year (even though so many students suggested this).
Yes that's what I've been doing with the USB thing however it's not as easy to annotate it/can't look back at it when all the practice exams are on loose leaves (leafs? Loose leaves sound weird..)

-
I'm fairly happy because..
- i did 5 english essays.
- i finshed revising CORE and Networks for further.
- i revised the whole of unit 4 Psych.
- i watched both my films for narrative again and compiled summeries for both.
I'm unhappy because..
- i didn't touch history.
- i didn't study for the SACs that i have first week back.
- i didn't finish all the work i wanted to do :(
ahhh well. life goes on.
-
At the start of the holidays I set myself 6 English essays to do, but i've only done 3!
I hate Language Analysis, I just can't get into it every time I start it.
But i've taken the holidays as more of a huge break rather than full time study.
I hope I can get into studying for exams this week.

I got like $10 of printing credit when i started at my school, and thats all we get, unless we pay for more :(
On the other hand, international students get to top up their accounts for free when they run out :P
So during the last week of term 3, i asked about 6 of them for their accounts and passwords, and totally drained their credit :D
Hehehe <3 international students :smitten:
-
Bah didn't finish everything I wanted to either :(
Oh well, got alot of revision done, so still happy :D
-
I finished most of my further maths pile (25 exams).. I started 4 english essays but didn't finish one!!!!! :(:(:(
Finished one business and two IT exams and revised unit 3 business and IT (need to do unit 4 this week)!
and finally, finished my studio arts folio and got all my final designs printed!
Overall.. i'm happy with what i've done but i'm depressed with english AHHHH
-
lol @ 25 further exams.
-
Im happy;
because I am 1 night away from finishing the eco course
Prepared for Jap Oral
Done an Exam for Texts
Not happy because;
Didn't do enough english
Didn't look at further
-
Marbs, have you looked at policy mix yet; all that stuff on compatibility and stuff between policies?
We havent yet :(
-
Yeh mate, we got some good questions for that, I'l put them up later if you want.
Its actually an important to topic, I got to look at the wider stuff now, like previous budgets, and possible questions.
-
*Fyrefly has not read 1 of her txtbooks*
*Has exams sooner than u guys*
*Only had 1 week of hols tho, not 2*
Must start studying... but will still probably not read that stupid txtbook.
Management exam = 4 short essays and 2 long essays in 2 hours.
...and I thought VCE English exam was hard going on the hand >.>
But B.Law is my worry.
I can c y Jo's transcript was tarnished with a C bcoz of it -.-
Only got a D on the assignment ::)
Ha ha, fun.
I still don't envy u guyz tho, I am sooo mellow compared 2 this time last year XD
I can relate 2 ppl who r worried bout not feeling anything... like, sometimes u need jst a lil stress 2 get ur brain in2 study mode.
Hmm...
-
Oh ok cool. Yeh well on my last SAC ever for economics there was a question on it and we hadn't even studied it at all but I answered it anyway (it was worth 6 marks) and then after I asked the teacher if my answer was correct (in terms of how I described whether the policies in relation to inflation, eco growth and full employment were compatible, she said I was on the ball [and that we shouldn't have been assessed on it because we hadn't studied it yet, hence she was going to mark really leniently].
I haven't gone through Section B of economics exams yet, only multiple choice. So I really don't know what's on them. Is there a proportionately large amount of marks allocated to this?
-
I haven't done many examples, but its come up on both. They aren't too hard, its just applying knowledge of each one and having a good understand about how the policies can connect. The question on the last exam I did was;
Explain why there has been a housing boom in recent years. Include the current government budgetary, monetary and microeconomic policy mix in your response (7 marks)
-
Moderately happy with how much work I did. Definately could've done more but still achieved most of what I wanted.
Happy with:
- Managed a total of 50+ hours over the whole two weeks.
- Revised pretty much the whole course in methods/futher.
- Finished about 7 methods exams.
- Finshed about 5 further exams.
- Completed 2004-2007 eco exams.
- Did about 3 text responses and 3 context essays in english.
Not happy with:
- Took too long to revise and didn't spend long enough on practice exams.
- Didn't revise unit 4 physics.
- Probably set unrealistic goals at the start(eg. complete >15 exams in methods/further).
- I still suck balls at English.
-
Ouch ok. Geez I don't like economics questions.
Something like.
Budgetary policy- a budhget outlay- first home buyers grant of $X (where X is a value I can't remember) which increased the affordability of housing for first home buyers in the market relative to those who weren't first home buyers. This increased the value of housing as there were more demand for housing and supply was not able to keep up with demand. This pushed the equilbirium price up to a level where demand and supply was met, where those who could no longer afford to purchase a house were pushed out of the market.
Monetary- Relatively low interest rates (the cash rate of around 6.5%-6.75% at the time) meant that the cost of credit was cheap. This meant more people could afford to purchase a house which increased demand.
Monetary and budgetary = compatible???
Microeconomic- No fucken idea. Higher regulation of the real estate market??? :S
-
Oh... "tarnished"
This applies:
the [lack of] wit of some people on this forum is just amazing.
i think the sarcasm was implied! :D
Agreed.
On this forum, may there be thy assumption of sarcasm.
Golden P: Ps get degrees.
Screw Key!
Wooo!
*No-one understands*
And no... I'm not talking bout golden showers or any of the other 9 words we have 4 it (ha ha, sry Mel).
A lot of u seem 2 have put in a tolerable and sustainable level of work these holidays.
Good work guyz ^_^
-
Well I didn't have a 'to do' pile so I didn't really... do... err....
But now I have a to do pile and it is FFFREAAAAAAKN HUUUUUGEEEEE :-\
Of course the more 1/2's I choose to ignore the less of a pile it will be. Hmmm... choices ::)
-
I did 1 prac exam for english, methods and french at school. 100% sure failed methods ones.
Other then that I've done absolutely nothing.
I have 5 SACs this week, 2 next week, my Flute AMEB 8th Grade exam is in 10 days and I still can't play my orchestral excerpts or scales. Also haven't found an accompanist yet due to irrational fear of calling strangers.
I have a serious procrastination problem. I am yet to start any holiday homework. School is tomorrow.
I am so fucked.
-
@costa
To get full marks on that question (according to TSSM) you need to mention about
Negative gearing
New home buyers grant
good economic growth
declining exports due to many economies in recession
low aus interest rates.
But that doesn't mention much about micro, you could probs talk about improved efficiency, that resulted in the housing industry
-
wow ok. shit there is so much to talk about. I wouldn't have thought of speaking about negative gearing, even though it seems the most logical place to start.
Thanks

Just out of interest, what do you gain from doing that many exams? I can understand doing 5 or 6, but 25 seems excessive.
