Redoing past papers? (1 Viewer)

[Poops]

Let's say you get <70%. Is it better to read the solution, understand it and soljah on or redo the test until you ace it?

Better to read the solution, understand what went wrong, then try another paper.

Best not to re-do past papers immediately without having a 2-3 past paper gap in between. Reason because re-doing the test until you 'ace' it is just drilling in specific questions into your head, whereas moving on to a new past paper gives you the opportunity to apply what you gained from that original past paper.

I agree with Carrot- don't redo papers because there are so many new ones you could do. What I do though if I actually have no idea how to do a question (not if I get it get it wrong because of a silly or something) is I'll look at the solution and then immediately after cover it up and do the whole question from scratch so I can get that line of thinking into my head.

Also, who is this clown who posted above me? He stole my avatar

More like you stole the clown's avatar.

Anyways, they are both right. There is really no point (unless you do the paper at least 1-2 months later, when you have probably forgotten more than half the questions that were in it).
