How do u do well in prac exams? (1 Viewer)

[Giant Lobster]

I just had one today and it totally ruined my streak. I ran out of time, didnt answer all the questions, and the ones that I did answer were done half arsed. Its not that the stuff is hard, i cud do it all properly if they gave me an extra 15-20 mins but fuck, today was depressing.

I really dont wanna die in another prac exam.. omg how do u succeed in these things? its nearly impossible to study for, and despite my practical skills (well at least average) they just gave us so much shit to do in 1 hr i just got overwhelmed. Any advice?

I assume you're talking about the practical exams in science subjects.

Looking at the marking criteria, they want you to:

1. Rule your tables/graphs
2. Label your graphs
3. Write down the units.
4. Do the practical twice and average the results.
5. Use an appropriate graph
6. Label the axis

exactly. i did all that and it took me 45 mins of the hour i had to get the results! and the table was worth 4 marks only, so bs. i had 15 mins to do the rest

our school doesnt have prac exmas.. thansk bloody goodness... what we do is we get a warning/notice from the teache rthat "this frieday we're going too do our assesable prac"

we go into class [what we're testing for is given to us a guide] and do it
we go home
write the prac up
