What do you people do when you get stuck in an exam? As today i ended up just panicking and skipping the questions and only got around 50/75 even though in every past paper at home had been getting 70 +. For some reason as soon as i get stuck i just worry and do stupid things. How long do you spend on questions when you're stuck before moving on? As i think i tend to give up too quickly. Obviously the a star is gone which i needed for my university offer but hopefully i can salvage an a.

If you're looking to improve your c4 skills under a short period of time, don't spend too much time on the papers between 2008-11. They will give you a false idea of the difficulty of the exam which will be sat on Tuesday

I agree. I would only bother with the IAL papers etc.

Hey, I have a question, If the question is asking for rates, its it always something divided by dt? For example dV/dt

Take a deep breath and just relax yourself. If you get stuck, just move on and it should allow your brain to approach the tricky question again at another angle. Best of luck for C4, we'll all need it.
