How much did you refer to your summary book?

During the exam, were you constantly looking over your summary book, or did you only use it on a few questions, or not at all?
How prepared was your summary book beforehand? Did you plan it heaps and organise it perfectly, or just bring it in for the sake of bringing something in?

I use it rarely during the exam, I just double-check formulas that I'm using
I prepared mine throughout the year and used it for sacs, so it helped me with some of my study.
Writing it down helped me remember things, it's got pretty much the relevant parts of the textbook in there plus examples of hard questions

I somehow forgot me bound reference that I'd been using all year and was forced to use my textbook.. So shattered before the exam but I only looked in it once or twice and ended up with 38/40.

Hardly looked at it. Idk about you guys but my table was so fucking small it was difficult to open the bound reference without things falling on the floor. I was so used to working on a large desk and in the exam I felt uncomfortable :(

i worked on mine during studying for exams, and I referred to it a couple of times, just to check the formulas...walked away with 35/40. So not too bad, but I wanted a bit higher.

I spent weeks on my summary book prior to the exam, making sure it was detailed enough.

Turns out that my summary book wasn't even needed as I'd revised over it so well,
still went too slow though and didn't finish, exams aren't my forte, sucks that the study score is calculated mostly using them though, tafe for me!

only used it to double check formulas, regression lines, transformations

I think everyone uses them for the transformations...?

I personally just brought in the text book. Look through once or twice to make sure on how to do the 3 median regression.
