Brain dead after 3 hours of bio so I'll do this the lazy way - Proof by example. :tongue:

Spoiler

At least you bothered to find some decent numbers, I was even lazier and set a=0, b=1, c=1, d=0 :lol:

I can set a=0, b=1, c=-1 and d=anything, no big deal :dontknow:

Well that's more than I've been doing for the last 2 years! I think the most I do of 1 thing is about 2 papers, even if the exam is only a few days away :tongue:

tbh the only part that was really a "proof" was subbing in the values, the rest was just simplifying the equation :tongue:

My teachers normally give mixed past paper questions as mocks :lol:

actual exams are "present papers", not "past papers" :sly:

Past Papers is how I revise! I can't get my head around just reading notes (short attention span, i'm reading but i'm not)

Yeah, the question looked worse than it was!

The secret is to never be intimidated by how hard a question appears to be, just get into it!

How come? :holmes:

LOOL, thats exactly why, certain questions just look 'unsolvable' to me! I don't know how to approach them, I is lacking experience :yep:

You've never done a full maths paper! (apart from exam) that's crazy lmao, our teachers are too lazy to make their own mixed questions, only chem teachers do it, sometimes economics
