Haha lol Providing that we've properly encoded the information, I hope we can successfully retrieve all the memories from our long term memory (according to the MSM) :biggrin:

Revision of memory is getting to me...

I'm struggling to write the 12 markers in 10-15 minutes or less though. I always spend like 20 minutes on them but I manage to finish papers just within the time. That's my main worry but i think - I just end up writing everything I know (thats relevant to the question) in order to not miss out anything.

I was sooo close to a B in my April mocks, but I think I'll still get a C overall :frown:

the amount of detail you need just to get one mark is too much sometimes

Wbu?

I don't know really as I did my last mocks in December and got a low B . However because my mind goes blank in exams I will most likely get a mid C .

Same for you too! I generally doubt my abilities as I have anxiety and low self esteem so if I manage to do well in the exam that would be a great confidence boost.

I'm sure you will do well, just go to your college/sixth form around 30 min early and spend 10 min on each topic. If you make sure you're in your psychology zone I'm sure you'll be ready!!

However, if you panic very easily I wouldn't advise this

I don't know whether to have breakfast or not, seeing as I usually don't.. I hope it doesn't throw me off and make a big difference

I hope it works for you though!
