I wouldn't revise in the morning... get a good sleep and actually have breakfast...
I do MC first, I know everyone says that you should do SA first, but I figure I'll be doing the whole paper anyway I might as well do it in order :) And you can actually get a lot of information from MC that helps you with SA... it's how I passed Bio last year :P

Don't think there's any magical formula but in my opinion doing SA first is a bit better (if you read that section in reading time) as most of the processing that you would have done would be fresh in your head. Also, don't expect a VCAA exam to give you any clues about other questions :)

Also, a quick post here (didn't want to start a new thread). Could someone please get a copy of the exam and email me it ([email protected]) so Eddie (scocliffe) and I can work on proposed answers for you ASAP? It's quite simple to get the paper at most schools - just ask the supervisor or a teacher. We'll try and get the answers done on the same day :)

:S I mean the VCAA exam that you will sit on Tuesday. When you've finished that it would be great if you can get a copy of it, scan it in, and then email it to me. Then we can work on getting the proposed answers to it if you are interested to see how you went :) Normally, post-exam there is a lot of discussion and people want some assurance of what the answers might've been.

I may just hide from VN for a few months while i go on BA ;)

i don't have a scanner though :(

Hehehe. Well, get one of your MHS friends to do it for you please. You'll be regretting it when you're on VN at night and are debating things that you can't even remember.

We'll try and get the answers done on the same day :)

I'd race you, but I'm working all day Tuesday

Yay, I win by default :)

Alright I'll see if I can get my hands on one.

Oh and I'll probably wake up extra early and do another paper or just read over some notes.
