Well, Arts is just an Arts degree. And Arts/Bus is a Business degree at the same time as an Arts degree.

You should work harder at Further. Remember that you've got two exams, practice hard and you'll meet the 25 on your exams alone.

I do work hard at Further, except it is not my forte.

I wouldn't worry too hard; just work consistently and you won't have any trouble pulling off a 25+ score. Don't forget that in the cohort that is the student body of Victoria, you are grouped with a significant proportion of students who unfortunately don't turn up to classes/SACs/exams and essentially bludge the whole year. If you're consistent and diligent with your work (you don't even need to stay particularly motivated if you don't feel like it!), you'll likely still pull off a decent score.

Anecdotal evidence time: I have the mathematical ability of a turd, but I still pulled off a 31 raw in methods. I didn't rank highly in my cohort, nor did I prepare much for the exams, but I worked consistently throughout the year. I reckon you'll be alright; if I could pull off a 25+ score for any maths subject (and a distinction in a university maths subject!) then absolutely anyone can.

Anyone ever had an exam in the sports hall before? Can anyone provide some direction? I know where the sports hall is because i used to train in Kendo in there. Finding the entire complex isn't the problem, it's more it's composed of like 4-5 buildings/chunks of buildings, not exactly sure where the exam hall is within that (or how easy it is to spot).

Also, it sucks having a 9;30 AM exam on a public holiday. The earliest PT will get me there (inc. bus to my local station) is 9:50 AM, it also includes odd ways like getting off at Glen Waverly (instead of Huntingdale). Thankfully, found a quicker way to get to my local station but all the routes are still messed up.

Met a fellow at uni today. He introduced himself by way of "Is this the philosophy society? Are you Brenden from ATAR Notes?"
 
The answers were yes.

Welcome to the abyss, achre. Welcome to the abyss.

Really should show up to those meetings one day...or just start my own club..

Yes and it was fucking freezing so bring some jumpers :P

Do you know where the general entrance to the gym is? It's at that level crossing that's sort of close to the carpark outside Robert Blackwood. You just enter through there, and then turn left at the bottom of the stairs. It was near where the pool is when I did it. There will be plenty of signs anyway!

You can't miss the exam area. They've saturated the place with signage and screens. If you know where the gym is, just walk towards there and you'll see it.

Good luck tomorrow!

I feel like complaining even though everyone in my cohort is in the same boat:

My biochem exam (Friday) is 5 essays in 3 hours. 5 essays on biochemistry.

What the fuck?!

I've done six in three hours. It's difficult, but possible.

But were the essays as interminably boring as biochemistry?

(Hint: probs not, biochem is the worst)

If you get a medical certificate you can defer your exams, if you feel the need anyway.
