Why are there so many all-nighter-ers this year in the HSC, especially for maths xD.

Here's my advice. Sleep now, set alarm for 3 in the morning, wake up, start studying until 7ish. Have breakfast, read notes as you go to school for exams. A good 5 hours study there.

Probably going to bed. I need sleep to function properly, otherwise I make such shitty little mistakes (which I probs will anyway lolol)
Have you been doing past papers? If so what are your marks like?

Yeahs go to bed, set your alarm for early then do past papers to prepare yourself. Go through the 2010 paper if you can, we had a tricky paper so i think if you can get through it you should do well.

An all nighter means a worse result than what you would have. Have faith in your ability, you never know you might be pretty good. I screwed my trial up - but i knew i probably had the panic of creating 2 english essays and learning them in less than 16 hours at the back of my head. Enough of my BS, but in all honesty you'll only be studying to feel like you are making up for lost time.

Chill, and have a good nights sleep.

All the best.
