    Maximum allways means all, but in this period of time, it will be hard, so i suggest to take one paper per week and write all answers like in real exam with time control and after go through the examiners answers and check yourself very strickly, so you will see in which topics you need to work more. I was doing like this and it really helped a lot

    Thanks Aleja for your input (I don’t remember your promotion to “tutor” status!) but I have to disagree with you.

    Bunti, I suggest that you tackle as many questions as you can, but only planning what you would write rather tha writing out the full answer.

    Divide the number of marks in a question / part question by 2. That’s the number of minutes you should spend in the planning process in your preparation AND in the exam room.

    Then check your plan that represents the skeleton of a proper answer against the printed solutions and that will give you an idea of how well you would have done on that question in a real exam.

    Notice, when you are checking against the printed solution, just how many points have been included in the official answer where you knew the point being made but you hadn’t included it within your plan.

    Then ask yourself “Why didn’t I say that? It’s obvious!”

    Hope that helps
