My aims are: Spesh: 8 Exam 1 and 8 Exam 2
                     Physics: 10
                     Chem: 10
                     English: 1

In reality, I'll probably get half of that done, at best.

are you guys redoing practice exams where you haven't gotten A+ for?

I've hit high As / scraping A+s for methods exam 2s when I'm pretty much aiming for a mid to high A+. is it worth redoing them and trying to ace them? it's not like i've remembered the questions either as i have very poor memory lol

If I have time in the week before the exam, I will redo them. I definitely intend on redoing the VCAA exams.

What I do for all exams is highlight all the questions I get wrong and then look through them like 3 times and figure out what I did wrong, where my knowledge is lacking etc. I won't move onto the next exam until I've fully understood the one I did before.

Basically, I try to ensure that I never make the same mistake twice.

Yeh I have my book of mistakes where I re-do the question properly and correctly and note how many marks. I'm thinking I should bind it to my current bound reference but I have methods in the front and spesh in the back of the mistakes book. And like laseredd I too and going to redo VCAA exams the week before the exam.
