preparing for a prac exam? (1 Viewer)

[serenetwilight]

hey guys i am having a prac exam in about 3 weeks, can anybody suggest some ways to prepare for it? and also could anyone post some of their past prac exams?
so far i tried to revise the format (aim, method, results etc), but i cant think of anything else to do other than that... (by the way, could anyone also put up a list of explanations for these? like this...

"results: your observations to what happened, usually recorded in a table and/or graph, use pencil and ruler, include a title, headings, units, keys, scale, line that best fit..."

sorry if i am asking too much but i did really bad in my half yearly exam and i am trying make up for it

any help would be greatly appreciated

Prac exams = skills + pracs = basically the 3rd column of syllabus

In my school's last year's prac:
1. perform the pendulum prac in the topic space.
They gave you the aim method and everything,all you had to do was:
- tabulate the results
- draw a graph (line of best fit)
- figure gradient
- determine the acceleration due to gravity
- write a conclusion

2. They gave you the experiment which demonstrated the motoreffect, you had to more questions

My teacher also told us that they could ask dodgy questions like how did you gather your information. apparently its been asked before in the hsc.
Reliability and validity can be asked too

If you really want, you could pm me and ill send you email of last year's prac exam
