I started trial exams and am now  averagiing 94%  but completed them in 60min each. Is this good enough  im planning to get through 50 trials or is this too much. Also is summarising study on, a chen notes and jacaranda book knowing the course well. I did mind maps so concepts are linked and easier to understand., note tyoed on phone

You're well ahead on the rest of the state! If you continue to improve, I see no reason for you to not get one of the highest marks in the state! :D

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. Are you losing all of your marks on careless errors?

Um 94% in 60 minutes? You do know that it's a 90 minute exam, right? Plus reading time!

You're blitzing it! Try to slow down a bit (a luxury you can definitely afford), it's a lot easier to prevent making silly mistakes by recognising them as you work, rather than when you're check your answers with the clock bearing down on you.

Whatthefuuuuu

I've only started trials and I'm getting around 75-80% at the moment

If you're getting this good 2 months before the exam, you're definitely in the zone for a 50

Keep a logbook of your errors though

Concur, you're set for a 50. Just try minimise your careless mistakes and be a little more careful so you can start gunning 100%'s.
And doing the paper is 60 mins is a good idea - plenty of time to check over.

What are the hardest papers? I've been averaging 94% over ~11 exams, but they were the easy ones like TSSM and Insight...except for KBT...that shit was ridiculous.

KBT is definitely the hardest. If you get 90% on that then you are set for sure. TSFX are "challenging" in their own way, as in they test a lot of nit-picky stuff (hopefully making the student scared and then they come to their lectures lol). NEAP are pretty good (VCAA standard imo), Lisachem are (from memory) fairly long, unrealistically long imo. Insight and TSSM aren't great, with the latter being the worst.

Don't expect 50. Aim for it.

They would have been telling you the opposite istafa:

Don't aim for a 50. Expect it. :P

But on another note...I remember doing the Unit 3 KBT paper, that shit was pretty hard...
