I am. Don't get me wrong, I have studied during stuvac (8-10 hours / day), but my motivation kind of died early this week and since then I have been bludging heaps. Anyway, I still have heaps to revise and am relying on the time between exams- I find I study best when under pressure- anyone else in the same situation?

I have strong internal marks + already been guaranteed entry into uni (commerce) .. so I'm not too stressed anyway. ha well thats what I keep reminding myself :burn:

Guilty. Well only for Economics. I have 3 & a ½ days to study for it. It's my last exam. I hate it. Plus i'm not worrying about studying for it when I have more pressing subjects to look after. So... mehh.

english - dont care, 2 days is enough
7 days for 4u and 2 days for 3u (combined 9 days for both, good enough).
2 days for chem and physics, which should equate to around 6-7 past papers each.

ill be fine!

Yup, but i have like a week between all but one of my exams so i think i got lucky. Im not stressing, this is how i have always studied for exams and its never failed me, i think its cuz i work best under pressure.

hahahahahaha it's weird because i did try studying for english before and ended up doing worse than winging it. i do'nt do 'heaps' well, i get decent marks (average in ym school i'd say) and so i gues an 'average' would get me a band 5, which i would be stoked with.

same - have not yet studied for paper 2 and dont care.

I hate english, it is the shittiest subject ever, but I always manage to go okay. For the trials, I studied for half a day for paper 2 (after paper 1) and managed to get 80% (5/70)

hm, thats odd i wonder why that happened? maybe you were over confident. I usually get 80-85 percent, is that a band 5?

wouldn't have an idea, i dislike preprepared essays, you worry more about remembering everything than writing shit down that makes sense.

and i dont know if 80-85% is a band 5, depends on so many things.

but my friend last year came 153/160 and he got a 78 in adv. english, since i'm doing alot better than that i shoul get aban 5, so thats where my confidence for the moment is from. selective school carry for the win!
