Hey, anyone that reads this, just make sure that your ready for your trials, i actually found i was more stressed for these exams than the HSC because i was totally underprepared. Start preparing at least 4 - 6 weeks in advance for your trials, not 2.
Also:
- Make notes according to the syllibus; for some subjects like Industrial Technology this may be harder because the syllibus is retarded, but for most subjects it works.
- Organise all your notes and handouts, papers into their own folder/s; one folder a subject, much easier to find your notes and shit when your looking for them.
- Some of the Guide Books which you can buy can help, I reccomend the Maquarie Guides and Excel 'Revise HSC in a Month' series (<-------retarded title but they work, DONT JUST USE THEM THE MONTH BEFORE, use them over and over) as well as (for math) the Past Ten HSC Examination's book (some schools provide it to you for less money)
- Study over a long period, about 1-2 hours a day in the first term, 2-3 in the second, and after that then start doin a shitload more for both the trials and HSC. (i did from 5-8 hours a day).
- I advise you to cram as well. Study the night before and in the morning. I advise studying until about 9-10pm, going to sleep, and then waking up at 6am to do more study for that day's test. It does fricken help.
