How are we going with exam prep?

Lol, atm i'm doing trial papers and it's really annoying when you know the content but you still manage to make about 10 marks worth of careless mistakes!

We've finished unit 3 (We finished about a week ago).
Currently, I've only done 3 practice exams (I had sacs all last week >.>). Hopefully i'll be completing a lot more soon :)

I have a motion SAC coming up next week, and we're allowed a one sided cheat sheet for that. So I think I'll start my exam cheat sheet during the weekends, and just dedicate one side to motion...

But yeah, I haven't been doing practice exams with anything other than the given formula sheet :O

Try to do the questions without the cheatsheet so you don't have to reply on it too much. Getting questions wrong are good just as long as you learn and don't make them again. If you get familiar with your cheatsheet, you probably won't need it anyway.

I rmbr our teacher made us write things onto our future cheatsheet as we learn new things so we dont miss out on anything important..
I think its bad to wait till the end cause...it just is....
IMO anyway...I think that if u find something is good for ur cheatsheet write it at the back of ur textbook and if u do that in everyclass u'll have a collection of info...

nah not really, you shouldnt need the cheat sheet to be honest. But different things work for everyone i suppose.
But then again it definately cant hurt preparing your cheat sheet early(unless you spend too long making it of course :P)

I have a fetish for neatness so i made mines super neat...but it was my lifesaver for phrases for semester 2 and their explanations on the stuff we learnt in semester 2 (i forgot what they were...)

I have an idea for the Physics cheat sheet. Explain questions. There are only so many one can ask. However, the examiners are pedantic with 'explain' questions. So put in a formulated answer to all the different possible "explain" questions.
