well if all your work is done and you're fully prepared for the trials, go ahead. if not... you should just stay home and study...

+1

Like, sometimes, if I feel really prepared for an exam and there's nothing else I can do, I spend the night before just watching TV and relaxing and I end up doing a lot better than I would have if I had spent the night just stressing about it.

So yeah, up to you =) See what stage you're at during that time. It will be important to take time out and relax coz trials are bound to get stressful =/

Depends on where you're at really.

With 2 weeks to go there will be little/nothing new so may as well if you are fine with everything that has been covered as it will almost certainly be just revision based stuff.

You could build up "Study credits", as in that you study more hours than normal to make up for the hours you are going to loose when you go to the concerts?

Honestly, I found that since the start of year 12, I've become pretty much indifferent to the assumed seriousness and gravity of the HSC. The day before exams or exam-style assessments, I usually just end up going for a swim or listening to music before going to bed and then having a quick glance at some stuff in the morning.

But in the end, I suppose its whatever works for you.
