I think that's why I'm so bad at maths.

I finished with an hour left on the time

Wow that's amazing! I only has 10 minutes left which was just enough to recheck everything. Then again I spent quite a bit of time planning my response and over thinking half the questions lol

Glad bio is ever now to switch on the math brain 😔

Hey imnop,

As long as it is a recognised abbreviation for science (like it is in physics im pretty sure) then you should be sweet!

Things like delta to symbolise change should be okay, arrows for increasing and decreasing definitely are because my bio teacher uses them all the time!!

Dont stress im sure itll be fine :)
