heyyy I'm malayali too x
Please tell me how you get them grades in maths, cus that's the bane of my life rn. I just hate revising it and I have no motivation to do anything. Also, howw do you revise for such long hours ? thats crazyy

heya nice to see a malayali x i dont do those long hours anymore cuz exams have been cancelled and i dont have mocks 😂 i kinda just get into a zone or u can split it up eg 2hr work 1 hr break etc dont do less than 2hrs because exams are that long so u need to practice focussing that long. in terms of maths: cgp practice books, corbett maths, mathsgenie, drfrost maths,maths made easy, physics and maths tutor ,ofc practice papers have got practise qs that u can go thru each one will defo improve ur grade! Personally i find maths quite ok anyway, but if i was struggling and was REALLY passionate on improving my grade-i would go thru every single one of those qs on these websites, if u get a question wrong ask ur teacher or a friend and sometimes a site called mathway can help too. hope it wasnt too much of a ramble but hope it helps x
edit : personally i dont think 20 mins then 5 mins break helps at all cuz u cant do that in an exam when time is so precious , also as u get faster try to do the test in half the time - that way u can do the test again in the other half and correct ur mistakes as well as complete it on time (pls dont look at the first ans u got it may influence ur second-if ur second and first are the same then ur correct!)

no no no you are so lucky. My teachers told us this week that we exams the week before Easter. They talk about supporting us, but we have to learn all the equations and quotes and facts, and they're not even going to tell us the topic. The exams are in a week

fair enough although we do have 9 assessments in the next two weeks and 30 in those two weeks :’( thankfully the inspector calls one next week is open book good luck btw 👍❤️

thirty in two weeks! That's rough. I really hope you do well. I'm so scared for these exams, because although I did quite well for mocks, I'm sure some teachers are looking for ways to mark me down. Good look for your tests.
Also thank you for the maths tips, I really appreciate it x
