When you can't get a question straight away

Any final tips on what to do in this situation?

Skip it and then if you have time just write down everything that might help. Idk. Usually when I see a geometry question and I look at the answers it's like it was so simple all along. I think you just need some space to look at it with a fresh mind.

RuiAce:
You need to look at the clock very regularly.

Typically, if I’ve spent 2 minutes on a question and I know there’s still half of the paper left, I already panic and think I’ve spent too long there. Especially when sometimes I see that 5 parts down there’s something I definitely know how to do. The only time I’d spend more than 2 minutes on a question in the early and middle phases is if I know that the answer is just long to write out and I’ve already done heaps.

Grab the easy marks first. Once you’re done, as you go towards the end, focus on those that you skipped. And balance it out, e.g. another 3 minutes per hard question thinking about how to approach it, or anything you can write down that would earn pity marks.

And of course, if later you realise how to complete that part in its entirety, go for it.

What about once you've completed the paper and are trying to figure out the last question?

Flick through the paper. Does another question somehow link?

Check your bound reference (I assume NESA allows these :-\)
