No I slept for 13 hours before the exam. Didn't read the book. :p

Skimmed thru a few pages 30 mins before the exam.

So, you never read the book? :eek:
Did you practice any paper?

Read 2 marking schemes before the exam.

Look. I had 10 exams in a week prior to the 2 EM papers back to back and was totally exhausted so I stopped caring for EM and just slept all day

So what do you think it was pure luck or you actually have a remarkable general knowledge?
AbbbbY
AbbbbY
No ones ever that lucky. If I sit again for it today I'm pretty sure I could nick an A on the minimum

Several factors.

- High general knowledge.
- Had a lot of subjects so a large portion of the syllabi overlapped
- Biology. P2 is literally 70% Bio P6

Remember, you don't have to know everything and be the best. Just better than the rest. That's it.

Oh, you're a genius then.
What other subjects you sat for?

Oh also. Your performance on the day of the exam matters a lot. Math p1 on any other day and I'd have gone for the 100%. Made a stupid mistake on exam day. So yeah. I was very well rested so mentally was very alert and knew how to improvise.

So any other advice you would offer regarding the paper? I would have 10 days before the exam to prepare. That would be enough if I utilise them properly.
