On the first day of my trial I will have Advanced English Paper 1 in the morning and Biology in the afternoon, with a one-hour break in between.

I guess you've just got to deal with it. Study triply hard.

The Board of Studies and the Trials Organiser has favoured my subjects.
Taking into account subjects such as Physics, Chemistry and all the Extension subjects are fairly difficult, he placed them apart as one difficult subject per week.

I feel sorry for those Economists and DT students whose Tuesday is an exam day instead of a break day for Paper 2.

ey but even ify ou do have 2 trials in one day and you have an hour in between what would you do? and how could you recover from teh previous paper in little time?
Quite easily well not easily but it can and has been done for many years by HSC students. You plan, plan your study knowing you have two exams in one day making sure you have time to study for both equally. It's all about prior preparation. During the hour break you rest and don't reflect on the previous exam...to much, you shouldn't really be doing any last minute studying maybe a quick check over notes but nothing more. :)

Meh i have
English AOS Monday, eco and re 2uit tuesday, english paper two wednesday, modern history thursday. Then Maths and business in the next week. (CSSA)

I actually prefer to do one exam a day, any longer and i give into the tempatations of procasination. In my half yearlies i had buso and eco on the same day, and i ended up killing both, although they are my best subjects. If you have prepared sufficently, having 2 exams in one day isn't going to affect your performance. Though, having a couple days for a subject you have more difficulty with can be helpful.

i have first up english adv AOS and SOR on the same day *sigh* our school just LOVES sitcking religion in with other exams.
i also have 5 exams in 4 days which is going to make it impossible to study for the modules paper seeing as i have exams leading right up to it. then the next week i've got anc history and ext english one day after the other and they are two of the hardest subjects to study for because anc has SO MUCH THEORY and for ext we just have a shitarse teacher so we've learnt jack.

Does anyone have any tips for me as I've got 2 trial exams in one day? How do I study? I've got economics in the morning and studies of religion (1 unit) after with about an hour break in between. Both trials are worth 12.5% all up and my rankings are similar for each. Thanks
UR LUCKY. i HAD 2 trial exams. both worth 30% each on the same day. If ur rankings are similar then i would study equally for them both.

Our trial exam timetbale organiser cares about me and those who are scientifically brilliant.
He knows that "hard" subjects like Physics, Maths Ext. 1&2 and Chemistry deserve to have thier own single day allocation.

And I've got no exams tomorrow :D ... so I can prepare for English Paper 2.
Oh well economists, drama students and DT students at my school who will be here tomorrow for their exam.

I had a pretty stressful trials first week wednesday: the second English Advanced paper, 2 hours of pure module hell then French Continuers. I would've like to study more for French but it wasn't to be.

But that pales in comparison to my mates who did English Paper 1 and Physics on the first day: then they had found out that they had to do their Physics paper again due to whoever made it stuffed up the questions (took it out of some study guide book)

Turns out I only have 1 day of two exams for these trials, so that's pretty sweet. Better than the two I expected, anyway.

My second week is much more intense than my first, I must say.
