Lol i loved finding quotes! My favourite ones were for ethics ;D
"Any hand that reaches the navel shall be cut off"
"A man and woman shall cleave to one another and become one flesh"
"Be fruitful and multiply"
- dont you think these are great ways of describing 'the act'? ;)

Does anyone have any tips on staying motivated and maintaining concentration during the exam?
I had paper one today, and i got quite bored during the middle and found it hard to write more.
If anyone's got any tips on how to overcome this, that would be great :D

Only heard of the third one before
Yeah I don't know how to find quotes. I have no skill at that.

Does anything trigger your boredom? Or is it spontaneous?
If it's spontaneous then I don't exactly feel you since once my brain is switched on it is switched on until it is tired. It usually does tire out towards the end. When that happens rather than writing I just end up checking my previous responses.
I mostly get bored when I run out of things to write. Then I just have to force myself to think, what can I write? Sometimes I scribble on the qn booklet to figure that out.
(At uni though I've had times where my brain tired out halfway in. I... you don't want to know what I do then.)

Hmm, not really anything triggering it. More like, it's such a long time to stay focused and my concentration wavers a lot, if that makes sense. Seems arduous having to sit there for another 2 hours writing.

Do the more rigorous writing based questions first, i.e. essays then. Then do any short response/multiple choice later because that requires less effort.
If it's English paper 2 however, that's something you just need to get used to. I'm not sure about you but I found that if I always had something to write, then my brain would not lose its concentration. And I also had a thing called go with the flow. The more I wrote, the more ideas came to me and the more I could write.
Also replicate exam conditions at home. You do need to do a sufficient amount of past papers in exam conditions so that your brain adapts to the necessity of thinking for so long.
(Can't offer full advice here, sorry)
