Almost there!!! Yeah i haven't been too productive for the last couple of weeks, but im trying to finish off exambusters/checkpoints for atm. Then start smashing out practice exams. I'd give myself a 6/10 right now - getting homework done and study for sacs, but i havent been doing exam prep at all...

i haven't really done any exam prep for chemistry and methods yet, only studying for sacs for these subjects. I've been writing essays for all 3 sections of the english exam and looked over my revs notes, besides that not that much prep.
Will probably start some hardcore study by the start of the holidays since i will have finished the last of my sacs for the year by the end of this term.

I think i'm doing relatively okay in preparation  for methods and spesh. Done quite a few practice exams for them. I'm really annoyed at myself for chem though. Finished the course on the holidays but i've only done 2 practice exams so far. English is the most annoying to study for since i'm going to fail anyway.. and i'm giving myself a 1/10 for physics. I dont think i've done any textbook questions since around April/May.

It's so hard to fit in "extra prep time" when there's countless sacs, homework tasks + relax time.

I'm not worried about the two IT exams. Maths should be good. English I'll have to wing it -- legal studies come the **** at me!

I feel exactly the same. Yeah Spesh and English will make the difference between a 97 and a 99.95.

Hahaha yeah pretty much, not that I'm aiming for quite that high but English pretty well determines anything in the 99s!

I can't believe how fast exams are approaching either! Feels like we just finished midyears...
But yeah, 1 prac exam for spesh done and that's all. Rest of my time has been used procrastinating and studying for SACs. :) My only major worry is English... -_-

Like I've said in a number of threads already; start practice exams as soon as possible. Start compiling all your notes and have them done by the start of the term 3 holidays at the latest.
