1. Finish off studying all relevant content
2. Grind out practice Qs i.e basic routine questions in respective textbooks to a point of mastery
3. Do as much past papers as you can and monitor your results, do not blindly do them but rather ensure you recognise what you're doing wrong consistently and focus on fixing on that.

That's what I'd do if I had a good chunk of time between today and the trials.

Thanks for your reply

by past papers u mean school trial papers right like my school's.
the thing is its gonna test qs i havent learnt yet so its not rlly possible to do a full timed paper right.

somewhat related to this thread, but how do you remember stuff (pure facts, processes, statistics) for subjects such as economics/biology/chemistry/physics (mod 7 especially) in the long term?

I wanna start doing trials but idk if it'll be useful or not? or should i save questions/exams?

Past papers i mean from thsc, like any trial paper. Preferably from reputable schools.

For your second part, yeah, that's why I said to fully master the content first by grinding out qs from textbooks then attempt a full timed paper. The earlier, the better. Don't worry about failing or doing bad in a practice exam, it'll save u from doing that in the real exam

There’s no real trick to it for memorising stats (economics), try flash cards. Especially when the stats update so often
