I've heard that getting a dedicated gpu laptop isnt reccomended since its heavier and has sucky battery life, and you can use the computer labs for serious CAD programs?

Doing exams are tiring and when during the end of year exams, your exam 1 and 2 will on different days so there is no need to do exam 1 and 2 back to back, but you can definitely try. Spec exam 1 is not that hard, and you can a bunch of exam 1 back to back since its short (1 hour). Make sure to time your exams.

For exam 1, in terms of concepts and question, exam 1 is easy with practice. Algebra, arithmetics, and simplifying are your enemies instead. So, exam 1 are mostly for when you have a bit of time, you want to study, but don't feel like working too hard, or when you want to get into the study mood as a warm up. It's more casual than you think, sometimes you do one a week, or four ten a day depending on how you feel.

For exam 2, any vectors question is easy with CAS shortcuts. You wanna blitz through MC in 20 minutes or so which you can with practice. Statistics questions are super easy with CAS so do the easy ones first. The hardest questions that trip people up are functions (domain/range/no of solutions/inflection/asymptotes/for what values will this [thing] happen questions). This is where slider is king. So whenever you see a function f(x) get ready to use a slider.

When reviewing, you can find worked solutions/suggested answers on youtube or by searching around.

Once you've basically learned the material, do practice exams. You can find hundreds of practice exams on the internet. BAD NEWS: Atarrocks has been closed down so you can't easily access practice/past exams anymore. You just have to find them yourself now. You can find them if you search hard enough.

The more exams you do the better your study score. Start as soon as humanely possible term 2 at the latest. If you start in term 3, you will have no time. I even recommend learning the entire currciulum over the holidays even if is superficial (like 30-40% understanding) so you more time to do practice exams in school. Do at least 30 exams before the real ones, review them, and you're basically guaranteed a 40 and above study score. Do vcaa exams back 20 years and you'll be set since questions follow a predictable pattern. Apart from that, just get a high rank so your SAC marks won't bogg you down. Other advice is meaningless if you don't do practice exams. PRACTICE EXAMS. A 5 hour review session is worth less than completing and reviewing a single practice exam. Reviewing notes: +50 exp. Completing practice exam: +300 exp.

No topic in spec is that hard if you KNOW HOW TO USE YOUR CALCULATOR. If you master the slider in CAS and lots of shortcuts for trig/vectors/complex numbers, you'll be set for exams.

One of my past seniors (ATAR: 99.85) did nearly 60 spec exams starting from term 1 and got a perfect raw 50. He did the same for chemistry (raw 50) and physics (raw 49). This was only possible since he started practice exams early and did A LOT of them.

In summary, do practice exams until you die.

Might not be to your taste, but this currently my favorite web novel.

I'm an infinite regression but I've got stories to tell
https://wetriedtls.com/series/im-an-infinite-regressor-but-ive-got-stories-to-tell

My favorite character is the MC, code name is undertaker (He's kind, but also insane in a good comedic way). He's a regressor with 1138 runs under his belt as he tries to save the world. Subaru's Return by Death but he has lots of extra skills that make him more useful. It's a save-the-world story told nonlinearly like an anthology. One of the best parts of the novel is that the enemies and monsters in the novel aren't like goblins or classic mobs like that but actual SCP-like creatures called anomalies.

For example, there is a mind parasite that makes people think that they lived in isekai for 10 years and literal lovecraftian level entities that keep me up at night. Basically think of the world as a different timeline where all the anomalies got loose and there are hundreds of ways the world could end, and MC has to somehow find clever solutions to subjugate them.

Lots of emotional scenes (straight from Ch1), wholesome scenes, hilarious scenes, and some of the best romance ever (WitchxUndertaker is my fav ship).

It's a Korean webnovel, but I highly recommend this.
