isn’t doing it fast (or more, not slow) a good thing, because then you get heaps of time to make sure you didn’t make any silly mistakes?
In my opinion, you should be checking as you do the test (i.e if it's a question that involves calculating values, check it with a calculator and add a tick on the question to indicate that you don't have to check that question), with this method you should have 30 mins left (definitiely not more than an hour), in which case you can either go back to questions you couldn't do or check MCQ (MCQ is usually where a lot of silly mistakes will happen)

that’s fair! yeah MCQ is the same for me, especially since i like to use my reading time answering them in my head so i can do them faster and save time for harder questions.

The hardest finance we will get is like the gp relation. I think we will get a high mark (multiple part) finance Q this year for sure.

I'm also scared for probability. Not like pdf and cdf, or the distribution tables, but like the other type

How should we practice for the exam? Im in a very rare place (for me) where I feel like I know all the content in the course a few days ahead of the exam. Do I just grind practice questions/papers over and over?

Yes. I would go on thsc/bos and just find one's from selective schools.

its super tempting to just do easy papers to reaffirm your confidence but ultimately sitting through the hard q's is whats gonna push you from a 85 to a 95.

also when you get a hard question, sit with it until you solve it. You will remember something so much more if you figure it out yourself rather than just giving up after a few mins and checking answers
