A lot or you are going to either be up shit creek with lots of past papers (uncompleted... and not ready for the exam) or experts at cramming - for those who havn't started study for trials which are close.

It's the honest truth... many of you that havn't started already (unless it's a decent personal reason) have made a silly choice not to start yet.... because exposure to questions and repetition will be successful.

Although I have friends that are expert know-it-alls of cramming and will get decent 90s for their courses with just 2 weeks of study before the trials and final HSC exams.

Would you rather hear people say "Don't worry, you'll do fine... (even though you havn't decided to study and because of this statement numerous times you procrastinate study until the last week and a half)? Or... get a kick up the bum scared now, achieving your best?

Anyone got any advice on how to approach Mod B Hamlet or Mod C Wag the Dog? I haven't written a single essay for either.

This is a personal thing, but I think that would be terrible for me. To have the trials even later would make me not start studying until later probably (as in decent study each night).... Having the trials when they are now have put me in the swing of things and I'll keep it up until the HSC

I truly wish you were here right now, waiting to strangle me if I procrastinated or played computer games.. Don't get me wrong.:)

Climb aboard your noble steed and it will guide you to victory IF you treat it well.

Good luck my friend :headbang:
Thanks for the luck, i'll need it :)

For wag the dog i worked out what my aspects were. Then i made a table with quotes/techniques etc for each aspect and based my essay around that. Good luck :)

I had 4 assignments to complete over the holidays.

Study is difficult to squeeze in, so I did a decent amount last term on weekends and wednesdays..

But, whataya know, I have still not reached sanity.
