What are you going to improve on? What new exam techniques worked / didn't work?

For me I now know to not rush maths. Take my time, and just cruse smoothly through the paper. Qs 9 and 10 are not to be stressed about from the beginning.

Share your thoughts...

English > Write atleast 2 dozen practice essays
Modern > Revise National study
Ancient > Revise the Core
IPT > Not worth studying as it was just general knowledge and the few questions they threw it were vague in such a huge content heavy subject
Business: Revise EVERYTHING!
Maths: Nothing im perfect :p

DON'T SPEND 20 MINUTES MAKING YOUR GRAPHS LOOK PERFECT IN 4U IF THEY'RE ONLY WORTH 5 MARKS.

Fuck I feel like vomiting, just finished my 4U trials an hour ago.

I make the most stupid mistakes in maths. I've learnt that I can't count backwards and I've learnt that 2x7=14 not 12....
Um, I've realised we learnt jack shit in SDD.

did ur teacher write ur trial or did they set u something like a CSSA or independent?
My school bought it but my teacher changed some bits because we haven't finished mechanics. I think it was the independent paper idk, that's what our school usually gets.
