Never underestimate the power of practice exams. Do every one that you can get your hands on.

Devise a time management plan before the day of the exam. Everyone works differently, figure out what suits you best.

Group study is a fantastic tool for Chemistry. In small groups, work through questions together, argue about how best to approach them, quiz each other on fundamental principles and concepts, and share any strategies/mnemonics etc that you have found useful.

The best advice I got from my teacher was that no study is ever wasted. No matter how effective you think a particular study method is, or how much time you spend on it, every exposure to the course content will put you one step ahead. Be varied in your revision strategies.

A month ahead I studied every day, dividing my time evenly between all of my subjects, ensuring frequent study breaks, and also including exercise and time with friends (even if group study) at least a few times per week.

For Chemistry, I prepared varied types of content summaries and did targeted practice questions for every topic, before transitioning into full practice exams, and eventually timed practice exams. I did as many as I could get my hands on.

A week before I completed practice exams under timed VCAA exam conditions, about two per day. I liked to think of the week before each exam as the “dress rehearsal”, with revision done, and really perfecting exam strategy, time management, and the structure of written responses.

I also forced myself to adhere to a minimum quota of exercise, sleep, and study breaks — wellbeing during this week is just as important as study.

On exam day, I prepared myself by actively calming myself and keeping a clear head.

The day of the exam is not the time for study, the hard work has already been done. I had a long and relaxing breakfast, did some light re-reading of notes (nothing rigorous), and pictured the euphoric feeling I would have at the end of the exam if I emerged from the exam hall knowing I had done everything I possibly could.

Thanks for those tips. I am going to try and break my schools record. I know it's hard, but very possible.

Spaced repetition and active recall. You can do it, I believe in you.
