I prepared at least the week before and leading up the the english exams, with prepared essays, stories and the like. Kinda annoyed that I put so much effort in to studying a subject that was only worth 10% althogether.
For maths, I did heaps of practice questions the day before and made my little points to remember on a piece of paper.
For bio and chem, tried to finish off notes but that didn't really happen so i just read the books and did questions. Did multiple choice questions from past HSC papers because I knew our teachers are lazy and just put some questions in the exam.
For dance well.. i just tried my best lol

i never wake up early in the morning to 'cram' or study because i'll never remember it. I always go to bed before 11 pm. I felt confident in all exams except for eng paper II.

I did that too. :( After the exams I was annoyed because, like for you, the English Exams were only worth 10%.

Maths: I'm screwed for maths. I read through past papers with the answers and working out. I wish that I'd actually done questions rather than just read them. And that my teacher hadn't been away for the month before the exam. Or at least that we had a substitute that knew maths. :(:(:(

PD/H/PE: I read through my notes + workbook, and highlighted.

Physics: I read through my KISS booklet and skimmed through the textbook.

Chem: Same as Physics.

In between this I was myspace-ing, msn-ing, sleeping, and of course BoS-ing. :eek:
