not ready actually. I haven't written any practice essays at all. It so boring though...I don't think I can make myself do it. I've done heaps of multiple choice (one of which I got 20/20 for, just to brag :p ) ive also done all short answer questions in one test, but that's it. I'll probably screw up in the extended response section...

It's just sometimes...microeconomic policies aren't as exciting as watching paint dry.

You kidding? i'm DREAMING for exchange rates. easiest topic for essay imo - virtually garunteed 20/20 for me (sorry, i'm not trying to say this in an arrogant voice).

But to OP, not ready yet - very worried/nervous, but will be ready by sunday.

I'm going to cram like a mofo for the next few days leading up to Economics, while also cramming maths. I should be okay. 1 topic/day. Should be good. :uhhuh:

No you fuckwit. Don't try to scare everyone. It's on Tuesday afternoon. Today is Bio and legal.

I got no idea how i'm going to go cause i got bloody economics and modern history on the same day which really sucks. With like a one hour gap in between the two exams.

I got no idea how i'm going to split up my study time... damn it! :mad1:

I'll follow my study habit of the past year: night-before cramming. Hopefully get a band 6, depending on what the extended responses are and whether my cramming hit the right spots.

pretty good...it just irritates me how all the stimulus are outdated and you cannot relate it to the current environment....matter of fact even the stimulus they give us for 2008 HSC wont be updated...grr!

i guess its not realli stimulus rather..."take the current happening in the worlds direction and build that upon what we give you"

but besides that im confident :)

I don't feel ready at all. I've been doing past papers for the multiple choice and short answer questions and I have quite a number of essays on other topics, but I'm not sure what else I should do.

How are you guys studying? Does anyone actually try to write practice extended responses within the timeframe?

I just use my notes; write essay plans.
I will start practicing multiple choice soon, as they suck.

ps. HEY :)
Haven't seen you on here in ages!
