How are you guys studying for it? I feel like I have completely burnt out but still haven't really finished studying yet. I don't want to be doing nothing today and tomorrow haha XD
So what are you guys doing? I'm hoping it might give me some ideas :P

I'm just going through my notes and definitions, mainly weak areas and I'll have a few more looks through the 2011/12 trial exams, focusing mostly on the VCAA sample and 2011 exams
But eugh, I really am starting to slowly burn out, I just want the exam to be over with!!

Sameee :/ Really jealous of all my friends who did bio and now have these four days off to study for year 11 exams haha XD
How specifically do you think we'll need to know the definitions? I know how to apply and explain everything, but I don't know my definitions word for word ahaha. Is that gonna stuff me up do you think?

Haha - it's what you learn from them, not the number you've done  :P

Plus, I'm sure you've gone through a lot of exam questions (e.g. in class, or when you were bored with revising your notes), just not as a physical practice exam, so don't be stressed. I haven't done a fair few myself either, but it's ok  :)

Bbbbuuutt....NONONONO!! THIS CANNOT BE!
Can't you tell your school coordinators so you get special consideration (I forgot what it's actually called)

Hopefully it's not too severe...You know your stuff tooo well so I suggest just ditch the studying or just lightly skim for the rest of your time (even though you don't really need to with that impressive knowledge of yours).
Rest up, Felicity! It'll hopefully be better!

You mean a derived study score?
I'm going to try my hardest to go to the exam but if it gets any worse, I won't be able to stand up without being in a large amount of pain .:( Thankfully the exam is seated..

Try to call or email your VCE coordinator now so they can get in contact with the VCAA about special conditions. They usually allow you to do it in a separate room and/ or have breaks, but I believe it does need to be approved by the VCAA.

You've been so helpful to everyone on here, it would be really unfair if we all got to benefit from your knowledge and you didn't! Hope you are feeling better!
