Title: how many prac exams have you done so far
Post by: hard on September 25, 2008, 02:51:29 pm
i've done 2 and a half practice exams to date, i'm going to do one today but one of the prac exams i did, well i had 9 minutes left and all was left was an 8 marker. I couldn't be bothered so i'm like nah leave it for now :p.

i must admit, most prac exams have similar questions so they get tedious and kind of... well boring (NOOOO i didn't just say that for legal!) Although i do like the vcaa ones.

YAY!!! IVE DONE A WHOLE 2 EXAMS!!! =D

not that great... considering this whole week has been procrastination to the max.
i did a neap on and the VCE notes one. that was actually pretty cleverly put together. no real time issues with it. got majority done beside the bits i havent covered in the course yet.

ive gotten my teacher to correct both :)

I tried another exam for legal last night. My teacher corrected it and I got 45/60. :'(. I totally screwed up the last question, had no time to finish it in the period allocated. Will I get any good marks this year? :(

yes i was referring to you. well since the exam is out of 120, double 45 and you get 90 which according to vcaa is still an A as of 2007.

nice, how well did you go on prac exams?
Title: Re: how many prac exams have you done so far
Post by: vce08 on October 08, 2008, 10:24:22 pm
Did around 3.
Got in the mid 50s for each one. Hard to really mark oneself accurately in legal, especially with the 8 markers due to subjectivity.

Doing practice exams is all about timing, not knowledge. Anyone can learn all the content, but applying the right parts and doing so in a timely manner will ultimately differentiate the good form the great.
