how many practice exams...

How many practice exams should I have done at this point?
Lately I've been cutting down the number of practice exams and I have been placing a real emphasis on the individual question/type of questions asked- mainly conversion factor questions. That- and I have been really going back to my notes. But as a result, it feels as though I haven't done chemistry in week, even though I've been doing one or two a day.

I have one more day... should I spend the remaining of my last day doing more practice exams?

I've done 30-something.. but I only have one mid year and I'm trying to prove to my teacher that I'm not an idiot hahah :) I'm spending the day doing the VCAA ones in exam conditions, and going over some of the finer points of instrumetal analysis and such :)

'Bout 20.  I think twenty is a nice round number.

sorry hahah, I honestly think 20 would have been enough, I think I might have gone for a bit of overkill :/ I don't think I really learnt much from the last five or so at least, but I figured if I've done all the ones available to me, I can't regret anything if I'm not happy with my mark :) Although now I feel pressured to get an A+ with the amount of work I've put in.. guess you can never totally win :)

Hehe don't look at it like that- you're not "pressured" but moreover your chances of getting the A+ have now increased as a result of your extra effort!
