[Transcendent]

Only done five exams so far...on my first one (Insight 08) I only lost 10 marks, but for some reason i keep losing 10 - 15 marks on the exams i'm doing at the moment

[ItsSKC]

i did about 10, after about 5-6 i knew what areas i needed to brush up on.

What are you losing marks on? If it's stupid mistakes... I tended to lose a lot more marks on my practice exams than I did on my actual ones (though I think chem that year was too easy). You're always more focused in the actual thing and more careful not to make stupid mistakes etc.

If not, mistakes are GOOD! They show you what you need to work on. Getting everything right is unhelpful and could merely make you overconfident.

Done about 8 or 9

Probably aim to do another 4 for chem. Try and 'expose' myself to as many different types of questions as possible.

By the way guys, how exactly do you study for chem in terms of summarising and making notes? With biol last year this was my main method of studying, but with physics and chem (especially with physics) im finding that there is hardly as much theory and when i sit down to do a summary im finished in like 30 mins.

So what concepts do you focus on when making summaries?

Hahaha. Soo true.

Oh, Andrew, I ended up dropping one in multiple choice too, so I dropped 2 (oh, and for anyone from my school, I didn't give it to my chem teacher to mark because I was in Canberrra, but I used the VCAA assessment report). Not too good, not too good. Did better in all of my other trials though, with the possible exception of STAV 2010 (which I haven't been able to mark yet). I'm not ready at all for the exam though... NMR...

Unless your school gives you "Do not write in these" booklets which will probably used again till the study design is over=)

20 papers isnt really that much

20X around 12 pages double sided = 240 pages.
