The last time I did one was for prelim and I did okay considering I hadn't studied one of the texts because I dropped from Advanced after they finished it.
But I have never done a test like Paper 1 and I'm so stressed about Paper 2... :/

Paper 1 should be easier, It's only 1 essay (which is easy to beat 'no trying' standard students) in, creative wrtting can be waffled so thats pretty clear cut and the comprehension, while it's a bitch to read and interpret is alright I guess due to the amount fo times I've done them in exams.

On another note: How do you people take your study breaks? Do you like go walk for 5 min and come back, or do you take like an hour or so break? I find it hard to get back to what I was doing, so I try to minimise myself from breaks. I get distracted if something more interesting pops up. Is it alright to still play a few video games as a way of stress relief? I'm trying not to play them becasue If I do I know it will take me a lot of motivation to get into the study rountine. (I'm a pretty motivated person - most of the time.)

imo the hardest part with study, is actually starting on what to study, once you get going it's pretty much straight forward.

Also how do you people study? do you study like 1 subject per night? I think i'm spending too much time on more subjects than others. :/

Oh yeah, what time do you people usually sleep? I want to get into a heathly sleeping routine. (I try not to sleep late, but I just never feel tired enough when it's too early) Most days I wake up alright, some days I feel like shit and just want to sleep for a whole day.

Thanks I know long post, but valuable info can be generated here for students.

Yeah i'm starting to freak out a little. I did a reasonable amount of study in the holidays, but I don't think I pushed my self to do more, I had many birthdays to go to and now I have 2 weeks to catch up on everything I still need to do. I have 2 weeks to prepare 4 english essays, study SoR content and prepare an essay or two for that, atm i'm doing maths because i'm motivated for that, but I just had a skim through past papers and Qs 9 and 10 look like they take a lot of time to comprehend.

I'm still dreading the amount of content I still have to revise for maths, I haven't done some of this stuff for about 11 months. I know it's only trials but I still want to do my best. God I feel my heart pumping. I've never done an exam that required 3 essays in one 2 hour session. Should be interesting to see what happens.

umm guys, I know you're all geeks and stuff, but is spending 3 months playing games really worth it?

Maybe go out and experience the game called "life" instead?
