Have you done your trial exam yet? We had Evans having a good go at postmodernists for our part I stimulus, so cut I didn't get to go to his lectures when he was here.

Just have a look over all the important readings you've been given, that'll usually give you good content to talk about.

Do you know what the source book of readings provided by BOS is necessary for? I only discovered it during doing my major project, don't think our teacher put any major emphasis on it.

Ahahaha what? Surely your teacher gave you some of them? It's not necessary to read them all, and it's probably a waste of time to do so, but there are some killer readings in there. They're very good for giving you historians and debates to throw into your part 1 essays.

Anyone know how to deal with sweaty hands during an exam other than wiping it on my pants? (lol, hopefully this doesn't disgust anyone, I'm sure I'm not the only one)

Ask the invigilators for a glass of water and then pour it all over your hands mid-exam. The sweat will wash right off. Side effects include wet hands.

Got 30% more in chemistry, ext. maths and mathematics in my trials than in my prelims! You can say that I am a boss!

Bring a wet cloth?

Because there's a difference between wet hands and sweaty hands in an exam room

LOL
Awks if the supervisors go, "Raise your hands if you have any unauthorised items" and you bring up a wet cloth

Legit advice time though, pretty sure cloths aren't against the rules if you just want something to wipe your hands with. Alternatively if you have a blazer or a jumper that's a part of the school uniform there's no reason you can't just wipe your hands on that. As to preventative measures, you'd probably do well just to breathe deeply and try and relax before and during the exam. A pen with a better grip could also help you if the problem is that your pen is slipping as a result of sweat.

I've always wanted to bring something really strange in like a toy car? or something and hand it in

I have a quick question, is 750 words for my creative for paper 1 too short?

If you can add an extra 50-150 words on the day to adapt to the question then its an okay amount.

it's ok, but aim for 800 minimum.
