Lol.

I sat at the paper, and worked from start to end. Checking every 15 minutes to see when I'd be free of the HSC forever.

 

[abdooooo!!!]

section? i just did the exam backwards and the multi-choice in between so my hands wouldn't get tired.

I did section II first then multiple choice then Option topic.

Simply because I hate multiple choice and I fall for stupid tricks -________-

i did my MC first then just did it from front to end, skipping all the 3/4/5 markers the first time round, then do all the 3 markers, then all the 4 markers, then the 5 markers.

Beginning to end. It's really short, you should have no problem finishing it if you've studied.

I did it in normal order, just from multiple choice to the option. I really don't think that the order you do it in is going to make a difference....

i swear i saw this in the bio forums lol

 

[iambored]

multiple choice to warm up
option so i could forget all that info. and i liked it
rest of paper
coming back to anything i was unsure about at the end

From beginning to end.
I was too scared that if i did it in a different order, then i could miss out on Qs...and it also makes it difficult to pace urself (i.e. Qs left vs time left)

haha yeah, so true

agreed with Anand there.....i did it back to back.
the other reason is that the earlier questions will get your mind in gear to think along the lines of chemistry and getting them right will be a great confidence booster...whereas if u start at the back you will start to panic and believe that you will fail the exam....

but then again its personal preference...do whats comfortable with you
