do you know your texts well? Do you feel confident in them?

section 1 just remember the whole marks/points system

i.e. if it's 3 marks make at least 3 points, 5 markers are like mini essays so about a page or so (about 5-6 points)

be succinct and focus on the question

do not be afraid to reuse techniques and quotes between questions

how confident are u in ur memorisation of ur generic?

Wait you can do that? So if I answered something in say question 1, can I use the same answer (as in quotes and techniques) in the 5 markers?

and about a 7/10 lol i'm going to try and wake up early and memorise it fully haha

Tbh, I think i'm fucked for english but not as fucked as I am for eco lol

yes you can, you can use the same quotes and techniques in different questions

work on memorising a bit more tonight, enough that you are confident enough that you can get 13+/15 with it, i have read your essays and you are definitely capable of this :)

Nek minut...



















... Well shieeee.
I can't believe i'm saying this but i'm going to give up sleep because I am so behind. I won't be able to catch up on 2 maths chapters in time for the exam. I am absolutely fucked and i'd be lying if I told you that I wasn't stressed.

past papers are overrated in terms of their importance imo

Maths past papers practice is crucial.
not really
most of the questions are really easy so it's just a waste of time doing them. not that helpful when you're that short on time as fawun is.

what

maths past papers are done because they give you practice for an exam situation, which is precisely what she needs at this point in time considering she is going to be sitting an assessment in exam conditions

Yeah especially close to exams, just past papers is recommended. After doing some, you'll see the emergence of trends and similar questions-like not all questions from maths textbooks are tested. Teachers have "favourite questions". Literally I've seen the same questions pop up so often that it becomes predictable haha.

well that's what I think anyways :p (only my opinion). it's true though.. The first half are usually typical textbook exercise questions. so if you've been doing your homework most questions are easy :p
but I guess you could do it to practice under exam conditions..
