Night before, get an "early" night sleep for the big day ahead. I couldn't study in the mornings of exams lol, I would be so stressed as it is, imagine finding something that you haven't covered quite clearly, you would be freaking out all the way to the exam. And possibly lose self confidence thus affecting your marks. :/

In the mornings I usually just skim over some notes very quickly, to get my brain in gear :D

what I did was, sleep around 12, wake up at about 4:30 just to go over everything quickly.

Bit of both. Study the night before so I can go to sleep feeling confident I know my work, usually around 10-11, then wake up 7am so I have a good hour to read over my notes and get into focus.

Last year for my HSC exams I tried to relax for an hour or so the night before, get an early night, and then just go through my notes in the morning - especially anything I struggle particularly with.

well before trials i generally pulled all-nighters for most of my subjects with 2hrs of sleep (except 4 math) somewhere at like 2am, so I suppose I studied deep into the night and woke up very early

i suppose for the hsc i would study until ~12-1 am and wake up at 6-7 to go over everything just to remind myself quickly. except 4 math otherwise i would fail... and except for latin 2/3u which i am planning to pull half-nighters for (2-4hrs of sleep)

Jesus Christ that's hardcore. How the fuck were you not dead? I didn't really sleep before Eco, but that really reflected in my marks :l.
I... sleep early and wake up 1/2 hour earlier than usual. But I don't go over notes, but rather a sheet of quotes/stats. Lol HSC, gonna fail!

Yah pretty much, that's why I even slept 2 hours cos I was literally like.. can't walk.. /collapse lmao. I've been doing this since year 8 though so it's pretty standard. Idk maybe I got old or complacent (or more likely, fucked up my system), cos yr 8 I literally slept 4 hours the entire week of yearlies, not even kidding.

Lol it really reflected in your marks! What are you suggesting! Tbh I was surprised though when I heard 92% was second lol. Yeah I slept for 1 hour the night before eco and I ended up saying stupid things in the exam that cost me a few marks, "Non-renewable resources create pollution..." "When individuals spend rather than consume..." etc. fml.

Pretty sure you're in the train, and in the bus, not on top... This isn't india m8 we ride inside the train.
We use the preposition “on” for transport that you have to step up to in order to board - trains, planes, bicylces too.
and we use “in” for transport like cars and taxis. thats because you have to step DOWN in order to get in.
