Do you guys do multiple choice qs at the end, what is the best way to manage time in general cause Mcqs do take quite a time and I had to guess like 7-8 in the mock I did in school.

stressed as f lol wbu

stressing will only **** you over. with these exams we need to show them the absolute best of our potential - stress will have you missing points in the question or miscalculating values etc. you gotta be dialed in. eat well before the exam, maybe get some exercise in. don't have a coffee right before or you'll crash. gl. light work

Not ready :’)

deffo not ready lmfao

try like booklets full of mcq!! www.umutech.net has quite a few of them and time urself by counting up how many qs there are and that should help esp with time management

What time are you guys waking up and how much revision are you planning to do before the exam?
I wake up at 7 so there is quite some time before the exam so I'm planning to do some revision but not too much because I don't want to burnout.

The AQA a level further maths exam was dreadful, so my only guess is that AQA will make physics extra difficult too. Best of luck though everyone, but I doubt it will be a pretty paper :smile:

Yeah honestly thank god for multiple choice. I don’t think i’ll do much revision tomorrow at all, maybe read over some flashcards.

I normally work through the longer questions first, but whenever I get stuck on something in one of them, I go and do a few multiple choice before coming back; usually this helps. Most of the time I'll still have a few multiple choice left after I've finished the longer questions, so then I work through them, with the knowledge that If i'm short on time I can always guess for a 1/4 chance.

Ngl I feel like our teachers can be over strict with the marking sometimes to try prepare us for the exam. I’ve obvs done a bunch myself without the teacher marking and they’re not so bad, there’s just occasionally underlined words you need to write but otherwise it’s pretty chill.
