How many practice exams is everyone doing each night? How are you guys spreading your time among your subjects?

I try to do around 3+ one essay
Kinda biased towards chem and bio though, rarely do any methods

How do you have time to do 3 prac exams plus an essay every night after school? That would be a solid 7-8 hours of work and plus after school, damn....

aiming for 2 exams 1 essay but I also do a bit of re-reading/revising over notes

Strawberries: awesome, good to see that effort! Keep it up!
Just finished a chem exam (2.5 hours, but I finished in 2 so... no checking ^_^) devoting a lot of time to Englang and splitting the rest among my other 4 subjects ... and uni extension. Not every subject gets a turn every day!

By the way, do you guys use the full time e.g. 1:30 hours for a practice exam, or do it -> mark it without going back and agonising over your answers? (I find this rather painful)

I don't both doing them to time unless it's a VCAA paper. Essentially, you should at least try to do a few to time - because learning how to spot your mistakes takes practice as well!

^Cannot support this enough! It is very essential to learn how to spot your mistakes during the exam so take some time to go through your working if you have time to spare especially on VCAA papers (so going through AOS and topics hashing out anything you remember to check your answer which works the best with maths subjects)!

What wunderkid said, if it's a vcaa I do reading time and everything, and even kinda hype myself up for it if I can, but otherwise I just churn it ojt

Exception is englang where I time every essay/comm just for reference when I get feedback and shit

I used to time but since I don't check my answers I find that I can finish with quite a lot of time spare, so I stopped timing them
I reckon not checking over answers is good- teaches you to be more efficient and get things right the first time
But vcaa always timed

Anybody heading to the VATE lectures happening tomorrow (or on Sunday for English Language)?

I have my German oral exam very soon. Do I need to take identification to prove that I am the person doing the exam? If so, will my Learner's do or do I need to take something specific? My teacher hasn't told us what we need to bring. Thanks in advance.

Your learners is fine as a form of id (although to be really safe I brought my passport)

Bring the sheet that they give you (the official one stating time date and your name)

But yes, to answer your question you do need ID. (It'd be a very cheat prone system otherwise)

Cool, I'll just take my wallet then. My teacher has a hold of the sheet and she'll take it to the venue.

I could just find a German that looks identical to me and get them to step in. #fkthesystem

A few weeks ago I had a dream (nightmare?) about the methods exam. Last night I had one about the physics exam

Am I going insane?
