Ah, I should probably get my ass into gear. Been so slack lately. Shame on me. =.=
I've got bio + psych. I'm pretty irked by my school's mid year results for psych last year (C average, shiet). And everyone's like, "Psych is the easiest science, it's not even a real science! Hahahaha!" Then why the shit scores, dumb asses?!

Yeah, just ignore my mini rant up there lol.

The only subjects with VCAA mid year exams are: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, Accounting and Environmental science. All other subjects have only one exam at the end of the year, besides maths subjects, which have two.

otherwise: i will be doing an exam per day until the exam, so if i have 30 exams, i'll do everyday for a month.. probs won't be doing that many in the end for the midyear ! but still- i will have plenty of time to do all my other homework and such.

Good luck. I wouldn't be able to maintain that kind of routine. 0.o You will have plenty of time for all your other homework if you do an exam a day? =X I didn't find that that happened when I did Methods exam everyday for 3 weeks last year =(.

haha i will probably do what you did with methods, exam a day for 3 weeks (not a month), well depending how long it takes me to complete the exam, the prac tests and sacs we've done so far in chem i've finished so quickly, and usually with psych last year i'd finish in 50minutes, so i'll be able to do a chem exam in hopefully in hour or so and then correct in a short time too, that gives me quite a bit of time for my other homework if i chose to do it after my hour exam. (i will probably end up doing two on the weekends skipping a few days per week) methods exams im sure take far longer, so i couldn't do that with methods..

I found I would usually spend about half an hour(sometimes more) per exam set for Methods after correction figuring out how and why I made certain mistakes, and ways to combat that. I don't know if a similar approach would work with Chem, but I assume that correction will take a moderate amount of time.

since chemistry doesn't really require any "revision" - unless there is a topic i'm unsure about then i'll be revising it! otherwise: i will be doing an exam per day until the exam, so if i have 30 exams, i'll do everyday for a month.. probs won't be doing that many in the end for the midyear ! but still- i will have plenty of time to do all my other homework and such.
how will you find 30 exams??
