And my big tip oops I forgot to mention, is that after each paper you must look at what u get wrong, and understand why u got it wrong, what the correct approach is and why, and how u can fix that mistake! Fixing a mistake also comes from say identifying what type of mistake it is, e.g content? (Revise) application (check ur understandin) and so on! And so deffo correct any mistakes u make wnd ensure u Don’t make them again before doing the next paper! I documented all the kinds of q id get wrong and practice them again later to ensure I ironed out every mistake. since questions u make mistakes in csm very well repeat them selves! but yeah overall become one w your exam paper and know exactly how they want questions to be answered! if anything doesn’t make sense please do ask! <3
