    School said they're giving me 0 if a miss a trials exams

    Most schools seem to give an estimate mark if a student misses a trial exam. However, my school said that if i miss one i'll get an automatic 0.

    Can i write my essay and then choose my question?

    So for my history extension major assignment, i keep diverting from my original question. Can i just write my essay and then decide on the question it suits? Or would this result in my essay being kinda all over the place where the points don't directly link to each other? Thanks!

    I don't understand why i'm doing so badly in general maths

    Hey guys, For the first exam i got 62% and the second, 70%. I'm currently ranked 52/60. These marks are definitely poor, especially for a subject which is supposed to be quite simple.
