Does anyone else think that 30 minutes is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long for multiple choice? I finished it in 5 minutes, though i admit i rush through it the first time but when i came back to it at the end i only changed one answer.

Cram, it works. But other than that smile and be happy, it not only puts you in a good, clear frame of mind but also everyone around you (unless they think you've studied so much that your not worried then they might stress more).

Section 1 - 3.5 pages (and thats with the final question taking up 1.5 pages) Section 2 - 4.5 pages (rubbbbbish) Section 3 - 10 pages (happy with this, first time i've ever prepared for the AOS essay :P)

Hi peeps! In light of my trial marks i've come to realise that my slackness throughout the year has come back to bite me on the ass. This is why i'm throwing up the idea to repeat the HSC (but at a different school). Now i was wondering if anyone has done this or knows anyone who has and could...
