hii all,
i was just wondering seeing as how the unit 3 psych exam is on june 13, wen do people recommend to start studying?

DrowNz:
All throughout the semester. There's no need to cram if you are being consistent and routinely prepare your own summary notes and go over them. Also, start familiarizing yourself with exam papers, I'd even suggest you to download some of the previous exams already. As you approach the mid year exam time frame, the VCAA site tends to be a little hectic.

brendan:
now!

Nick:
As already stated, be studying the course material thoroughly and consistently as the content is being taught in class.
Make your own summaries to suit your study habits. For example, if you are a visual person, include lots of colour and diagrams in your summaries. Be familarising yourself with the style and structure of psych exam questions. Read the examiners reports. These will give you solid direction in terms of the detail that must be included in your answers. I would recommend knowing all the course content by mid to late May. This will give you a good 3-4 weeks to ask your teacher any questions, do lots of exams and complete your final days of revision.

Eriny:
Now is always a good time. You don't have to go all out though, if you can commit to memory what you are learning now, that will really help later on. Nick's advice is also very good.

I think ideally you should start practise exams about 7 weeks before exams and by that point you should know the course more or less.
