Maths trial paper (1 Viewer)

[jonhysmitw2]

I sat a 2u past trial paper and got like 50% this is the first past paper I've done for maths. Is this bad? I usually get 80-90% on in-class tests.

It's your first past paper so no need to worry, just need to continue doing past papers, focusing on weaknesses and eventually it'll get better
(it also depends on the difficulty of the first paper, some trial companies/schools write them pretty difficult)

May I ask which trial paper did you sit? Some schools might be more difficult, and that is why you might've gotten a lot lower of a mark compared to ur class tests. But even then, a 2u paper difficulty shouldn't vary that much, so what I would recommend is to do some more practice question before attempting another paper to see how you go then

If you are aiming for the B6 range, you are looking at around 75-80% raw mark

sgs tests are okay difficulty, so I would suggest going over more practice before attempting another

Yes that’s absolutely fine, if you analyse your mistakes thoroughly you’ll find (or at least I found) that you’ll improve significantly, my ext 2 trial marks improved by like 30% within my first 4 papers

What do you do if you don't know how to solve the question, like you completely forgot how to do it

Skip it and relearn how to do it at the end

how would you relearn it though?

I guess it depends on your learning style, personally I just read the solution and usually I can figure it out from that (and then write a line in my mistakes book so I remember) but if that doesn’t work you could probably check your notes or textbook I gueds
