Unsolicited last-minute tips from an experienced exam taker - get a good night's sleep tonight (no point last-minute cramming if you've already covered the course,) arrive at the exam venue 15 minutes early (and give a bit more time then normal if you're taking public transport.) Stay off caffeine this afternoon (although a bit late for that now.) Wear something warm - the REB can be freezing in winter (it's pretty hard to heat.)

Words of truth. Especially with respect to the venue being cold - bring layers!


Good luck with the exams everybody!

Hey guys just wondering if there is any good study areas that opens up early in the morning? Like 7:30~8am

You can get into ERC lower level or Giblin Eunson study hall from 7am with your Student card swipe access

Unless your exam is in Wilson Hall. Walk in with a singlet, it's so damn warm there.

Hey guys! Got my first set of exams tomorrow for uni at the ROYAL EXHIBITIOn

Basically my plan is to wake up 5;30am because I'm taking the train, and sometimes my line has bad delays. I want to get off at North Melbourne and then catch the city loop for parliament ... Then apparently its an easy walk to Melbourne exhibition??

And any stationary/things you guys recommend taking tomorrow? Apart from your ID card and lots and lots of food? :P

Thanks!!!!

Maybe we'll be on the same train  ;D and it is an easy walk but it's also two stops on a tram(can't remember which one but it should say something about the museum) if you're like me and get lost easier.  It's also about a 15/20 minute walk to the uni.

Get off at Parliament, go to Bourke St/Spring St exit, anyone of those trams going up Spring St should go through REB

So there are no signs directing to your seat this year at REB so for anyone wondering: West = turn left after entering, East = turn right after entering.

Also, you can take your bag in this year and leave it under your seat. No more storage containers (yay!)

I know you can just walk to REB but are there any trams that could get you there as well?

The trams running on Latrobe Street like the city circle can take you there but it's a very walkable distance from Parliament station (5 min max).

IIRC most diagrams were from the lecture notes. Some were from other sources but if you understood the diagrams on the lecture notes you'll be fine.
