    Exam preparation

    Pen volume

    dude every pen makes noise, all i can hear during the exams is the ticking of the clock and scratching of pens and people clicking and breathing heavily and flipping the page no one will care, it's an exam and pen sounds are normal unless they're beeping. i used to use felt-tip all the time but...

    Maths Relaxing?

    I tend to work to the beat of the music I listen to, so I go for really fast or repetitive songs hahaha, so mainstream dance-floor music + typical k-pop songs = amazing. Maths is nice because it's 1 question at a time (2-5 mins) so every time I finish a ton it's like "just one more"... then...

    Excellent! Also, with 3, you could say that fixed exchange rates would require government intervention to deal with the balance of payments. So if there happens to be a deficit then the govt has to reduce AD which may be a risk, depending. You could also say that because the bank needs to focus...

    Examples of questions that the board could use to trick students?

    The Board does not set out to trick students. The Board sets out to test students what they know (lol), and to an extent, to test the competence (or lack thereof) of teachers who apparently don't teach via the syllabus. "Module C: Representation and Text This module requires students to explore...

    How am I supposed to talk about textual integrity/values through time for Hamlet?

    You can say it in the introduction if you want, but it's not necessary. You don't have to keep explicitly saying it in your essay if you do say it in your introduction. You're right - textual integrity is how the text works as a unified whole. Therefore, you should develop a holistic...

    Is 6 days of pastpapers enough?

    why are you getting that low? just focus on doing whatever's wrong -> trouble with superannuation? etc? don't bother doing past papers if you're averaging the same thing, go through what you're getting wrong and figure out what's wrong. do you not understand a topic? are you taking too long...

    one concept or multiple concepts?

    v late reply but either is fine It depends on the question. Sometimes they'll only give you one concept and you'll have to adapt your other ones around it, or you can just talk about that one only etc., it doesn't really matter. EE1 is pretty broad.

    guesses for the romanticism critical question??

    Mine is based on texts, idealism/individualism/nature/imagination (interwoven) + paradigms within everything. In other words, just everything meshed together lol. I suppose my notes are based on the ideas, with the paradigms as subpoints. The concepts are so interlinked though (chosen on purpose...
