Hey guys,
Do you reckon it's doable to study a total of 40 pages on economics tomorrow (I understand like the theory behind it btw and it's effects but I need to refresh my memory), if I go straight home after the test?
Also with biology except with 43 pages.

I think it's pre do-able if you understand the theory behind it. Although, I hope I die before the eco exam.. I'm that freaked out.

For notes in general, before going into an exam, its best if you put all the key facts onto 1-2 pages, so that its really easily to just skim through it 10 mins before your exam and have everything refreshed in your mind.
40 pages is do-able, just make sure you don't cram any new information the night before.
If you've done pass papers and practiced what you've already got, you should be fine :)
Best of luck for economic and bio :)

OH SAME ! The only way I'll be fine, if it's macro and environmental. Anything else and I'll probably start crying

I will flip the desk if it is environmental and labour market.

I am praying for Inflation/growth/unemployment/policies etc

Sorry, but most likely there won't be a question specifically targeting inflation/unemp. Probably be one of the those marco questions. It's been like that every year so should be okay. Just worried about the other two questions :(

Same.

I should be fine if it isn't some weird Labour/environmental one.

I would perfer fiscal or monetary. But it is unlikely

Economics freaks me the hell out. Did a 9 hour cram before trials, almost had a total mental breakdown, and topped the year (I legitimately thought I was going to fail). Now, in the same position. Feel as if I'm going to do badly so am going to do a MASSIVE cram. I understand all of the theory well, its just I can't always remember it on the spot.

Oh and what scares me the very most is if BOTH choices for an essay are bad. Did a practice paper with choice 1 being analyse labour market reforms in australia since 1983, and choice 2 being effect of microeconomic policy on income distribution and ESD. Not fun.
