How did you all manage to learn parabolas? I never really understood them lol, trying to learnt hem rn and it’s not making any sense.
To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift.

I didn't learn it fully. JAC taught me bits of it.
Enough so that I could at least attempt the question.

Oh man I'm so unlucky. Most of the math exam was inequalities  which is the one thing I didn't learn. Other than that I did pretty well. Finished the essays 2 pages with 5 min left.
Creative was a picture of a train and the text we had to use at the beginning was something like "As the train left the station, the man and I pretended that we were strangers."
I wrote about a police officer stopping a serial killer.
Pursuasive was about self diving cars and they gave us points and info that we could use.
How did everyone else do?

The essays
Reading comprehension

I heard some rumour while waiting outside about the numerical reasoning being changed to verbal questions. It was right. There were only about 10 "order" questions.

ME TOO
I found mathematics to be so hard I literally repeated “I’m a failure” at the end, then in the last 5 min I managed to do like 15 questions so I only guessed about 1/3 of the questions. Still a lot though but hopefully I got the ones I did right.
I think my essays were really good.

I guess now we play the waiting game and try to forget the exam. Ah, I don't have to stay up until 10pm anymore studying. 8)

Hey guys!
So as to not clog up this thread with post-exam discussion, I've made a new thread dedicated specifically for that. I suggest posting on there so that this thread is kept only to last minute tips and shit.
Cheers :)
