How many exams have you guys done so far?

I've only done around 11-13 , can't remember at the top of my head. As we get closer to the exam date, how do you guys study (or what past students did)?
Do you guys just go through what you guys usually have trouble with in your practice exams ?

It's funny how ANers are like "I've only done eg. 15 exams" when many others would be like "wow I've done 15!" lol.

I am a past student and I did very few for Unit 3, I can't remember but it was easily less than 10. I did more for Unit 4 because I found it more interesting lol...

If you want to get over 40 you're on the right track. I don't know about biology but last year for chemistry we got trolled with one question that was mentioned in the textbook but was not put to what I've noticed on any past papers. You should probably take some time to skim over the textbook so that you can be more confident.

Haha, it is because i see a lot of people that have success in getting a good score do HEAPS , so I take that doing a lot of paper helps . And also doing a variety because I don't feel confident enough by just doing the top tier exams. :S Haha I wish the big companies make like 3-4 trial exams per year (per company) :D

I've done 12 so far, which is a lot better than where I was last year for Psych! (I'd done about 8 at that stage..)
Hoping to get another 4-5 done before the exam exam (eek!).

82 hours until the exam! <-- Nice thought, eh?  :-\

I know a few different people from different schools who haven't started any, so you're fine. I'm about the same as you and I'm not worried at all.  :D

It's not pathetic! You still have time to prepare! Seeing as though it should be all days off from now to exam (I think), you should do 4-5 exams per day and you should be alright after that :)

Haha, it seems like a lot, but you're only going to be doing this for 4-5 days right? That makes it do-able :D

Plus, if you have the whole day off, you might as well :)

"OMG GUYZ, ONLY DONE 25 EXAMS FML :("
"Only done 8, I'm completely screwed :("

STOPPPP.

I've done 2. Does that mean I'm screwed? Nooo, I concentrating more on my own study and the way I learn.
Alot of my friends have done 3-5 and they're pretty fine with everything..
