When to start doing practice exams?

[duhherro]

Just checked the timetable, and it seems like the midyear will be on the 12th of June. Could anyone suggest me a deadline date for when I should start doing any prac. exams?

Thanks ^^ And how else should I study for the midyears?

Usually a month before hand or maybe even now.
Typically doing past exams, revising notes, have post-it notes everywhere.
And just steady yourself.

You could even get a friend to write a weekly pop quizz for you and vice versa.

I have already started my practice exams but I highly doubt many people have. I would start them a month before at the latest if it were me.

Why not start now

Just remember the more time you have means the more prac exams you can complete

i did 3 in total, 1 week before my exam and got 39 trolled. i was really lucky though, cause i was ranked 1st (deserved about 3rd or 4th) and got a higher study score than expected i was aiming for 35

You must be in a good position... at the school I go to, the yr 12 bio class is still stuck on chapter 3 of the textbook

START THEM RIGHT NOW!
i have already comepleted 5 past exam papers. i took Bazza16's advice and am starting them early. This way you will be familiar with the exam techniques and questions. heres a link:

I'm going to start when I hit the immune system, there's no point doing prac exams for me now as I haven't even gotten past halfway through AoS2...

You can brush up on AoS1 though...

Do you need to finish the course to start practice exams? My class is behind the whole state in everything IMO.. and I started late so I don't think ill finish the course by June 12..

Also, should you be doing ones from 2008 onwards? because i checked VCAA and the current study design was from 2008 exams.

Question wise I think a good idea would be to do things like checkpoints with exam questions set by topic now, and start practice exams whenever you feel comfortable and have covered the whole course (to some extent). I think doing the first 3 or so practice exams open book is beneficial because you focus on how to answer the question more than your memory, then progress to exam conditions.

Actually from 2006 on wards.
