Ahh i doubt it because I haven't had enough time for studies and now i'm feeling lazy :(

What subjects do you do/have you done? :) And plz give me tips for revs

Well for tnt as i said to Souljette, I don''t have any guaranteed methods haha, I couldn't believe I got an A+! And I wouldn't say i aced TNT, was a tad disappointed.
But yeh, know your stuff and know timing. It's easy to screw that up. Also, look at the examiners' report, apparantly there's a  new study design or whatever this year but it's still useful to pick up some tips for the tasks. Oh and esp on the essay, don't write everything you know, and try to relate stuff to like the outer text, the like to see that you above and beyond. Sorry if you've heard it all before, unfortunately just practice practice is the best shot.

Give 'em hell! :)

ah thanks, ive heard it before but its still good to be reminded :) and i do english, lit, chem, methods, tnt and revs (russia/china) last year, so some similar subjects, its rare finding a fellow tnt-er.  Can i just say im shocked that your tnt class is large, mine is just 8 people, in fact my teacher made me give talks to year 11's to promote the subject because there were so few students
and my advice for revs is pretty similar to your advice for tnt, do lots of practice exams and try not to get distracted by quotes and dates because theyre not worth much if your knowledge of leaders, events, movements and ideas are lacking, but of course, theyre still important. umm and for 6 mark questions always always link back to the document or image and definitely dont go over half an hour for any section of the exam because its all worth the same but im assuming you know all this so any other advice i have for the subject is redundant.

Good luck! Show them what youre made of :)

T&T?? shame you didn't switch to Texts m@tty.. you sat in like all our classes... (bringing it to a grand total of 3)....  ;)

I'd be wrapped to get 40... been a long year and alot of exegesis'esseses  (exegesi?) hopefully it will pay of.. but apparently use of scholar quotes is quite important... and im hearing this some 4 days out from the exam... not good... i think having a Messianic teacher (Book of John) should help though.... apparently examiners love to hear about Jewish customs of the day...

Two things:

1. I didn't use scholar quotes and I got 40+. So they lied to you. :P I guess they can't hurt but it's not 100% necessary.

2. My class thought we were so smart for coming up with the term 'exegesi'. I think it should become an official word.

And good luck to everybody! :)
