Ok, I will keep that in mind if I feel like I do now tomorrow, glad it's a later exam tomorrow too

Hope you feel better soon!

What's the thing to do if you are too sick to go to a trial exam?

Illness/Midadventure form - atleast in my school. Procedure in my school requires you go get a special "school" medical form that you need to present to the doctors. You can either do it without taking to exam or go on the SAME DAY just after taking the exam and getting it filled out and sent to head teacher asap.

is there any other equations u know that arent on the formula sheet and we have to remember?

Escape/orbital velocity (i think) and thrust

Escape/orbital velocity (i think) and thrust

F= T-mg?

thanks btw.




scared for physics T_T though I think space is my best topic probably. and for orbital velocity, v = 2pir/T is also needed no/yes ?

That orbital speed formula may be needed, but it's literally just speed = distance/time (using the formula for circumference of a circle for distance), so I wouldn't worry about memorising that one.

For English paper 1, would anyone recommend doing section 1 last? Personally it takes me the longest to do, and I feel like I should be able to get my creative done in a little less than 40 mins, so I was thinking that it might be better to leave section 1 last so that I could use that extra time.

Thoughts?

I personally do it first since it takes me the longest to do. Then rush through creative, adding/removing paragraphs depending on how much time I have. Essay last because I suck at essays so yolo

It's usually the place where you can grab easy marks relatively easily. I'd suggest Short answers -> Essay -> Creative. Since creatives are usually easier to rush etc. But up to you!!

My order was creative -> essay -> comprehension

My order was creative -> essay -> comprehension

Did it feel like reading time was a waste when you did the comprehension last? I'm worried that I'll waste time rereading the texts multiple times if I leave it till last

Yes.

I always try to read the texts during reading time but I'm just like yep whatever.

I have to actually have done some writing before my reading gets effective and I can spot oh technique technique

 

[ProdigyInspired]

I think it kinda depends on the difficulty of the questions. I skimmed through the texts and had general ideas, did my comprehension second since the texts looked cancer and I needed more time to think. Left me with 20 mins of creative.

How much time is reading time (exactly)?

 

[Shuuya]

How much time is reading time (exactly)?

10 mins

 

[ProdigyInspired]

How much time is reading time (exactly)?

Usually its 5mins.

 

[ProdigyInspired]

10 mins

Wow thats fairly long. I would take advantage of it and skim through the questions, then read the texts but not too specifically.

 

[Shuuya]

Usually its 5mins.

Isn't it always 10 mins for paper 1 and 5 mins for paper 2?

Because 5 mins for paper 1 is insane

When they only have 5 minutes for Paper 2 because 90% of the State comes with pre planned essays </3
