I know someone who's pretty intelligent (he got into med) that did about 40 trial exams, and still only got a 37 in chem...

EPIC i've done only 5

Half of them were done in/through school(as homework).. So I've done about 6 of my own accord.

But yeah, it is quite a lot, way more than I though I would do. I was planning on being super pr0 and only doing 5 and learning as much about my mistakes as I could.

Sigh. That was why he only got 37. Because he obviously took it too seriously. Get existential people!

Was intending Chem to be in my bottom 2 during the end-year exam period, but started to try on it after I thought I apparently screwed up both Methods and Spesh. Problem was, that was only a span of around 2 days or so, so I probably only did 5 exams or so. However, I did put quite a lot of effort into it in the mid-year (hence explaining my end score) and that would've been around 9 exam papers. Would have done more if there were more available (I was in the first year of the new course), but since there weren't, the 9 exam papers doesn't take into account other methods of study such as doing notes, NEAP questions etc.

50 exams shiiiiiiiiiiiiit. I'm doing both chem and physics and i extremely doubt ill collectively do half that. i've done 7 chem and 2 physics...but ive done all the checkpoint for physics. Planning on doing about another 8 for each.
