Ive' decided not to do TSSM and I never do TSFX. Do you guys think this is stupid? I've reasoned that TSSM is just being impossible, worse than chem 2009 so I won't bother. I did do a bit of tssm 08 or 09.

i say do them, no harm at all when u think about it really. yes, some of the questions may be a touch over the standard were expected to be at but thats no reason to avoid them. given the genuinity of their questions, its heaps more fun attempting different styles of questions compared to the same crap over and over again :P

TSSM teaches you how to work quickly and not fall into panic just because you see a question you can't immediately grasp.

What I've learned from doing hard exams is:
~ For hard exams, always do short answer section for Exam 2 first before multiple choice
~ ALWAYS USE YOUR CALCULATOR WHENEVER POSSIBLE IN EXAM 2, RESIST THE URGE TO DO STUFF BY HAND JUST BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW TO
~ Don't be scared that you got something wrong and recheck your solution immediately after writing it; if you do this you will definitely run out of time

I dunno, doing TSSM and Derrick Ha has made me a lot more immune to panic. I don't think they've actually enhanced my mathematical ability, but rather amplified my ability to focus and my self-trust.

I got raped really hard on my first TSSM, then I went OK on my 2nd one because of the lessons I learned about how to deal with hard exams from the 1st one.

1st one (TSSM 2009)
~ Exam 1: 26/40
~ Exam 2: 64/80

2nd one (10 practice exams later) (TSSM 2010)
~ Exam 1: 39/40
~ Exam 2: 77/80

2009

09 was much harder IMO.
2010 was reasonable.

I could just imagine what I would have got on it if I did spesh.  Totally raped, thats what I would have got.

Finally feeling ready... (about time too, exam is tomorrow)

Consistently getting very high 30s on exam 1, mid 70s on exam 2. I suppose that would translate to a study score of ~ 44-46?

If that is on external exams... then that equals full marks on vcaa :P
