joe they should take it into account that you haven't really had time to finish family. like when we did trials in eng last year we'd only been doing frontline for 5 weeks i think so they didn't mark it as hard as they did for the assessment on mod c we had a few weeks after trials when we'd actually finished the topic.

family seems pretty easy so far (we only started it last week i think or late the week before) and mostly it's just remembering legislation and definitions

what i'm intending on doing is both trial papers from the school and others if i can get my hands on them. i'm also going through the hsc papers for topics that i have done so far. though i think the school has to prepare this ha;f yearly themselves. thought they usualy prepare elements of their questions from past questions of both trials and hsc papers.

Hmmm, I've never heard of half yearlies in year 12!!!

Our school just does the trial exams. I wish they did do half yearlies, it'd be great for revision - keeping on top of it, identifying problem areas before trials etc.
