but like... how. 2-3hrs per paper, 24 hrs in a day, there's physically not enough time
8 papers might not be enough, since there are 24 hours in a day, you can probably cram 16 if you really go at a fast pace - 1.5hrs per paper no break
hook up an IV drip with water and nutrients and you'll be set for the 99.95
YALL SERIOUS HES BEING SARCASTIC AF LMAOOO

Ngl you should be aiming for 7, I had days when I did 8. Quantity over quality, don't bother analysing your results just get thru that shit
seriously if I had done 8 per day I might have gotten 99.95

Yeah nah legitimately if you're doing more than 3 or 4 three hour exams in a day you'll have negative effects on your performance and you won't be learning anything, and may be mentally drained by the time you do the exam. Take the time after each exam to figure out what you did wrong and improve it, don't mindlessly do papers 6 a day is idiotic.

I recommend keeping a list of questions you get wrong, so you can look at it late at night and see how with every paper you do it only seems to get longer and longer and you realise that despite all the work that you're putting into it that you aren't getting any better and you're actually getting worse and trials was your peak but trials were kinda shit so you start breaking down and then your parents come in and see you sobbing on the floor with this list in your hand and then you start freaking out because you actually haven't improved in the weeks since trials and hsc is tomorrow and you're gonna fail and you won't make it anywhere with a 40 atar so you decide to pack up and leave to new zealand and then--


hypothetical scenario of course ^
surely mod c creative piece

are u ok that story was way too in depth
IT WAS A JOKKEEEE
actual moral of the story: make a list of questions you get wrong and properly revise those questions after a few weeks - see what you can still do and can't do, and make sure to update it with each paper you get 🤩 (ahem mechanics and vector proofs)
