What are YOU going to do? (1 Viewer)

[Dash]

When you get in the test approximately 2 weeks from now, are you going to go for the multiple choice or go straight for the theory?

Personally, I plan to head straight for the theory!!

 

[stag_j]

yea im gonna skip the multiple choice too
i use the reading time to look for questions that im likely to forget small details so that when i can start writing i head straight to those and answer them while i remember it all

Ill probably do all if it in order, then skip ones I dont get and go back after I've finished.

I'm gonna do those assess/evaluate society questions first, to get the shit out of the way first.

during reading time i work backwards from the end and i usually just finish the theory questions so then i know all the tough ones i'll be facing later on. Then i do the multiple choice first, meanwhile letting my subconscious fetch all those answers for me) then head on to the theory in order. If i baulk at any i just skip them and come back to them. But I always figure out exactly how much time i have for each question so i will definitely get back to any I skip.

It works for me

astrophysics first.
core questions.
then multiple choice last.

Same here Dangar! That is my plan of attack.

For nearly all my subjects I will start at the back of the paper and work backwards. I find if I do it from the start I spend to much time on the multiple choice and short answer questions and don't leave enough time for long answer responses. If you end up getting rushed for time it doesn't allow you to form a well structured answer that is required in the final questions.

Yup, exactly my strategy
I always spend heaps of time on the multiple choice!!

The thing is, if your reading during reading time, you shit your pants. Thats why its better i recon to go step by step, other wies, you'll be scared from the beginning till the end. Well thats me anyway...

So do you not do anything during reading time??!! How strange... i find it's best to read the really hard ones so t hat at least some small part of your brain can think about it for a max time of 3 hrs


besides i like to do multiple choice first cos it's a confidence booster

Nope i do nothing during my reading time. Thats only for physics though.

 

[juggernaut]

during reading time i do the multiple choice.. can sometimes get about half done

 

[bails]

Multiple guess is easy, so ill leave it to c how much time i really need for the theory, reading time is when i convince myself that if i dont pass, i could always bum of home!

 

[ezzy85]

ill be doing what i did in the trial. go through the whole paper, leave most of the long ones blank, and in the last 2 hours just fill in the blanks with anything i can come up with.

That's my method too! I use it in all my non-English exams.
