Got A+s, not sure how high they were though.
For bio I just did a lot of revision reading in the 2-3 weeks leading to the exams.

Oh, I also did checkpoints for chem and physics throughout term one and two.

I had 2 midyears and a uni exam (woo all in the same week). Oh and the ~GAT (which is of utmost importance, don't forget).

I ended up getting sick :|

Wasn't the best week I've ever had.

That sounds shit. A fair few ppl at my school were sick for their midyears; probably cause of the stress I guess..

i did it this year and it was very VERY difficult.
i finished the unit for all three in the first week of may (about 5 weeks), studied for 5 hours a night, ever night, gave up my entire social life in those 5 weeks, (that includes even seeing my grandparents :( ), the stack of practise exams i had was about literally half a metre high.
the three midyears for bio, chem and physics, and ended up getting A, B+ and B, none of which im happy with and i know i wouldve done much better had i only had two exams to worry with.

the only benefits i found from this is how to organise myself for the end-of-years when i have 6 exams (two for methods).
how do you study for this? well if u want raw 38+ in all maybe im not the best reference (as by my results), but if i could go back and change things....
1: not do three midyears :D lol, nah seriously u need to start early. do everything possible without a teachers help, so the first few chapters for bio and chem (i didnt do psych so i dunno) are all yr 11 stuff which is very do-able solo.
2: write your notes in the term 1 holidays. i found that the notes i wrote on summer holidays i didnt remember well because they were written 5 months before exams.
3: practise exams, practise exams, practise exams
4: every question where u lost a mark in a practise exam, write it out and memorise your mistake so that it doesn't happen again
5: go to church/temple/mosque/other-religious-place-of-worship

well thats all i can think of for now, sorry to be such a downer, i just wish someone gave me a reality check before i went into year 12 :/
im sure that you'll do your very best though, and in the end that's all you can ever do :)
good luck!
