gradual process man.... Arggggg it's so irritating I can't really take it but then I just force myself to. I've accumulated most my time revising mathematics and still everytime I look over my notes I find something new... I do 3 unitz of both maths and english but I'm more an english person by a long shot. :\ *sigh* I'll survive. I should be studying right now, but bah... time for rest + I have a headache *cries*

ext maths = really hard! like omg hard
business studies = easy
ancient history = moderate diffculty ( more time would have been good though)
english ( advanced) was easy than i thought it wopuld be
and chem was hard, but not as hard as chem normally is

2 unit maths = the skill
3 unit maths = the application of the skill.

Know your FORMULAZ!
Know how to apply them in questions
Know what the answer is supposed to look like (i.e. simplification, evaluation, solving etc.)

Do some past papers from your school if u can get your hands on them and dont work with the solutions. See what your strengths and weaknesses are and go from there. I find ext 1 maths less intimidating than I did @ the half yearly even though I've practically doubled my content and hence doubled my study.
