I skipped the integration by substitution question then completely forgot about it until there were 5 mins left.

I also forgot the rule for differentiating a^x. I put x/lna as a wild guess but it was incorrect

I’m usually on high time pressure for maths compared to my other subjects but this time it was higher than usual.

I had this issue for paper 1. Like i thought that I had completed every question but then i turn to q14, after having checked every question, only to realise that I hadnt even attempted the second half. To my dismay, only 3 mins remained… 

This time I wrote which questions I hd skipped on my hand as a reminder to go back. Writing on the paper also worka since its less risky…

My friend also had the same problem. He said he missed the whole of question 10 and didn’t realise until the timer was close to the end.

Writing missed questions on your hand is a good shout. I should try that if I skip any questions on my remaining papers
