When should we begin practice exams?

[Twenty10]

As the mid-year exams creep up on us...
How many weeks out from the exam should we begin doing practice exams?

[stonecold]

so far I am on track to hopefully do a chem exam or two over the holidays.
need to learn AoS 2 for bio so I can get onto prac papers for that as well!

Term 3 holidays.  Doing them too early will just burn you out...=/

last lesson he gave us donuts and said its a relaxation period. so im getting as much theory done on holidays maby one prac exam

[Visionz]

probs get onto my midyear practice exams a month before the real one.

[stonecold]

lol yeah, i think we're just talking science subjects here
....and accounting

Please begin in July for Methods. I'm serious, makes a hell of a difference.

The rest - at least a month in advance. I started 1.5 months before midyears and a month before end of years for Accounting, Chemistry and for Further, I began in July like Methods.

But for English, do consistent work - start exam style questions in July. I did this, and really improved for language analysis and Hard Times. I'm quite annoyed actually because I didn't do so well on only Context during the exam, but my school and tutor told me that this was my best section and not to do as much work for it compared to the other two. So lesson to learn is: do the essays even if you're told that you're good with them

if i started in july, id get bored come september

This time last year was when I started Methods exams. Spesh and English exams started at the end of Term 2. Unit 3 chem exams i started about 4 weeks beforehand (just before we finished the course)

Out of interest, how many Chem exams did you do for each unit?
