Freaking out?

[MrsStark]

the bio exam is coming up very soon, being a year 11 student this is my first vcaa exam. I'm actually so nervous!
I've been to lectures , read over notes, made flash cards and mindmaps, watched videos online and done practice exams and topic tests, yet I feel like I'm not gonna do well enough (aiming for 40+) and I'm super nervous, anyone feeling the same feels?

In the same boat haha - except i have another 4 subjects to worry about -.-! Just keep doing past exams until the actual exam.
And remember if you don't get a 40, don't worry about it since you still have next year (learn from your mistakes).

Thanks for that and good luck with your exams too!

Yep! Me too!!! First official and legit exam as well..
I dont know what is considered "enough" or "good amount" of practice questions/exams...and im really nervous about that. Ive purchased this book that contains practice questions for the entire year and I have only done all of unit 3... plus some exam questions from the study on online my teacher linked us (which is hella helpful). Just like you, aiming for a 40+ (and im kinda doubting my self now.... :/ )

Hey first and foremost, it is completely normal to feel unprepared or better expressed, under-prepared. I felt the exact same way. If you keep doing practice exams and revising the theory, you will improve. Believe me, something happens on the exam day and it all comes together!! Good luck to you all!!

Hope this works for me on exam day because I'm seeing no improvement on practice exams :/

How many practice exams have you done?
Don't stress, it'll come together, like the person above had said.
Also, be optimistic about it

Stay positive, guys

We are all going to set aims and we will all believe we can reach that aim!
40+ may look difficult, but we are all going to believe in ourselves to get there, and push aside the negative thoughts.
(i'm a pessimistic because i see things on all sides, but i'm trying to not be a pessimist for this right now)

Good luck to everyone

Has anyone found a particular exam quite difficult and challenging? Can be past VCAA or company based thanks.
