I didn't study at all the day before my exam. Just chilling and trying to get into that challenge appraisal mindset. If you haven't exercised so far today that could be a good idea to help you out (beta endorphins, stress hormone use etc. + easier sleep later).

      My advice:
      At this point if you are studying it should be very targeted towards a gap you have identified.

      I definitely do not recommend trying to get a much study as possible done today — you want energy tomorrow, not to spend today already racing. If you do feel that you have a specific gap I would designate a time (e.g. 5pm) that you still to be finished by.

      If you've been doing practice exam questions etc. in the lead up getting good sleep etc. is likely to help you a lot more than a bit of extra study at this point.

      Hope this helps 🙂

      Also if anyone disagrees, has questions etc. I'm open to hearing that too

          BriMT do you think redoing old practice questions I got wrong is effective or no?

              If your preference is to study then I think doing past practice questions can be an effective way of doing that. I would, however, try to make sure you're doing it in a chill way and not make it your whole day.

              Edit: like, try to do it in a chill/hype "yeah I got that exam, I've been making improvements and get to use tomorrow to show how much I've learned and pull my marks up" mindset

                  hi hi so, this is what i would say basically (kinda simplified because i didn't want to type something that sounded good but didn't make sense.)

                  exercise up excess hormones that are secreted from the sympathetic NS when someone is experiencing something stressful (cortisol and adrenaline) - which can lower the arousal levels that an individual is feeling causing them to feel less stress

                  exercise also releases beta-endorphins are released when someone exercises, which can increase a person's resilience as they will have a more positive mood rather than being 'im sad about this thing, it's making me stressed but I'm not going to do anything about it because I feel grumpy.'
                  Someone in a positive mood would have a higher likelihood of reducing stress because they have a more positive outlook toward a stressor which can increase an individual's resilience

                  I hope this makes sense
                  if anyone wants to add anything else, feel free xx

                      jakstar2468 i think twinklehello recommended IDEAS if you scroll up a bit, but personally I'm comfortable with literally answering the question in the order presented as well as using paragraphs and adding any other AOS that could be linked to the scenario/research.

                      Also best of luck for everyone hopefully the 10 marker isn't too bad and vcaa spares us 😁
