How many practice exams did you do?

[Menang]

I've only done one, just today, and I'm afraid that's not enough. Going to do at least one more tomorrow, though. :S

What about you?

[Cranberry7]

HTAV sample 1 and 2, studyroom 2009, 2010 prac exams, 2008 and 2009 vcaa exams...

6 all up i guess...but we've all done heaps of separate doc studies, 10 markers etc...

by looking at your desired enter, i wouldnt worry...


less than 2 days...? english exam tomorrow :2funny: whatever

[Menang]

Yeah, I've done quite a few separate ten markers, and I've been going over dates and quotes since last holidays. It's just timing them that I'm worried about, and I've been able to write the ten markers in around 11 minutes each, so *crosses fingers*.

by looking at your desired enter, i wouldnt worry...

By that, do you mean (a) it's a pretty high aim, and I'm generally an alright student who doesn't need to worry, or (b) it's a pretty low aim and therefore easier to get?

Sorry, I'm new to VN so I'm not quite sure what the standards are high. :S

[Cranberry7]

ok....i mean, to me ~98 is * good, really * good...

i guess ive got no clue, as this'll be my first yr 12 exam...ive put blood and sweat into revs this year, sacrificing meaningless yr 11 marks....

idk why but i feel like im not prepared....does every1 feel that, even the ones that score a 50??

[Menang]

Haha, same here. I'm in Year 11 too so I've been prioritising Revs all year. And yes, I do still feel unprepared. Probably because there's just so much to cover in Revs.

And besides GAT and Indonesian Oral, this is my first 3/4 exam too! I'm very freaky-outish at the moment, especially having done only one practice exam.

[ben92]

I've done three exams, although I probably did another 2 or 3's worth in individual questions. Hoping for a solid 40.

[Menang]

Three's a pretty good number, I guess. I'm aiming for three by tomorrow as well.

Are you doing Russia for Section A or B?

[Kotza]

ive done a couple...ish   i feel confident though. My issue is simply time management, and since ive allocated a certain amount of time for each part quite well, i feel really confident.

[leenie]

i haven't done full ones! But i have this thing where I won't do an exam until i've gone through pretty much everything which isnt' thata great method.

I did an essay and a few 'use your knowledge' questions, essay took me 40 minutes and a bit! i've got to narrow down my time for that and other sections too

[Menang]

Leenie, I know what you mean. I have the exact same thing, which is why I only did my first practice exam today.

I'm also trying to cut down my time for the last essay. I'm saving about 20 minutes off the previous sections, though, so I'm aiming for a decent essay in 40-45 minutes.

[ladyy]

I've done like 2 I think.
But I answered questions in different number of books for both revs.

[leenie]

how many pages is your essay? I know they're not expecting much but really I can't seem to cut it down. Mine ended up being about 2 and a half pages?

and yesss! i always had that :C which is why most of my revision felt a lot like cramming. Although altogether i am pretty happy about how i went EXCEPT FOR IN METHODS. Now i'm trying to cram Russia, but I think I've got France down pat.

[ladyy]

EXCEPT FOR IN METHODS. Now i'm trying to cram Russia, but I think I've got France down pat.

Yup SAME GOES FOR ME

[Menang]

Wow having France down pat it pretty impressive! All those dates from the Terror = guillotine.

2 and a half pages seem completely reasonable to me, mine are about the same (45 minutes, but I'll get it down to 40 by tomorrow).
How big is you handwriting? I do about 9-10 words/line.

[Menang]

EXCEPT FOR IN METHODS. Now i'm trying to cram Russia, but I think I've got France down pat.

Yup SAME GOES FOR ME

What for methods or for Revs?
I'm in year 11 so I haven't done Methods, but I heard it was pretty much suicide.
