Quick Q. Are you allowed to use your calculator in reading time (under BOS guidelines)?

No. You aren't allowed or meant to have anything in your hands.

(I played with a pen lid in the time, but I wouldn't recommend it)

lol, reading time is good to quickly do some MC in your head and to get ready to content dump ideas for later questions

Yeah do multiple choice questions in your head is a good idea especially with business studies (can get it completed in reading time or near abouts)

I'm gonna spend reading time more so on thinking of what case studies I'm going to make up for Section IV.

Hi all,

So I have a little dilemma right now lol. My trials start next week (Monday) with English obviously first, and I'm pretty confident I'll memorise my creative and discovery generic essay for paper 1 within this time. But in terms of paper 2 (which is on Tuesday), I basically have to memorise my Mod A generic essay + backup quotes/techniques, my 8 Hamlet thematic paragraphs + backup quotes/techniques and my Mod C generic essay. :/ I mean, after paper 1, which finishes at around 11am, I have like 10 hours to study (or to cram). But I don't know if that's sufficient for my module essays. In that case, should I memorise my paper 2 essays on the weekend alongside my paper 1 scripts? Or should I just do it chronologically in accordance to the english trials?

My problem is literally exactly like yours, except I got a bit more to remember for Module C. What I'm doing is, I'm going to memorise at least one whole module today (probably B, because it's the longest), and do Paper 1 memorising tomorrow. So after Paper 1 on Monday, I'm going to home straight away and get to memorising all of Mod A and C.

Just putting it out there, you're probably going to be very tired after your three hour exam on Monday so i suggest you start memorising everything now starting chronologically and try to get as far as possible. If you don't finish paper 2 this weekend dw too much, just keep pushing Good luck!

I'd do:
Saturday (today) - paper 2 and paper 1 (more prep for paper 2)
Sunday - paper 1 prep
Monday - paper 2 prep

I am absolutely shitting trials. I feel like I've worked my ass for the year and that If I screw up these exams everything will go to shit and I have a crap time-table which makes the prospect of cramming worse. I just hope ranks won't be affected too much and the exams are reasonable- I wish you all the very best in your studies and I hope 2015'ers can kick ass!

u too, trials are just last opportunity to boost ranks thats pretty much it, after that your done and you have lots of time to get studying for 50% worth HSC which will honestly play a much bigger effect on your atar than trials if you can do good in them

The worst thing about studying during winter, I cant get out of bed. It is too cold in the mornings and my bed is warm and comfortable.

same, just read your notes when your in this situation

 

[porcupinetree]

gl to everyone starting trials tomorrow. These exams aren't the end of the world; remember that at the end of the day they only make up around 15-20% of your final HSC marks. Also remember that everyone else in the state is tired and low on motivation right now too; what makes the difference is pushing through this and giving your absolute best
I'm also speaking to myself when I say this; I've got trials tomorrow and am very much looking forward to when they're done haha
