Did you actually do 6 papers a day? If so, when did you wake up/when did you sleep? Were you doing all subjects or just 1 subject throughout the day??

How many past papers are you guys doing a day during the lead-up to the hsc? After doing one (3 hours), I feel so tired, so IDK how you guys can do multiple a day.
A fair student will be doing something like 30 min each day for each subject, a good student will be doing 1-2 hour of study per subject per day (which is high but achievable). 2+ hours per subject per day is a huge risk as you run the risk of burning yourself out before the exam. An average human only has about 50 hours each week in which they can properly intellectually focus, so going over 50 hours in the week can be dangerous.

A mix of past papers (past papers are about 2-3 hours so splitting one into two or three section is not a bad idea) and year 11- and 12-chapter reviews is a very sensible mix of last-minute study resources.
