PAPER 1 in 3 days time...

Hi Guys,
Hope you all have done well in Paper 4.
Hmm, am not sure how many of you have declared this the "post-exam" break already! Anyway, do focus on practicing your TYS as your main priority.

Things to remember for Paper 1:
1. Don't leave shading the OAS to the last 15 minutes. Its best to shade the answers as you go along.
2. Biology MCQ Qns are from 21 to 40. Don't start from Question 40 and work your way backwards, in case you shade the wrong options in the OAS along the way.
3. If you are stuck at a question, move on and come back to it later, but ensure you do leave the OAS blank for that particular question.
4. Watch your time, 1 min per MCQ, 20 min for questions where you got stuck or are not sure and of course, for checking.
5. Double and triple-check: That you have the correct answers shaded, that you read the questions correctly, that you chose the BEST possible option, not the first option that seems correct.
6. You can highlight main points as you go along to help in your thinking process, as the question paper will not be submitted.
7. Note words in bold/underlined. Those will be very important words!

Some more things to remember with regards to phrasing:
1. is / is not
2. true / false
3. correct / incorrect
4. most accurate / best describes...
5. will not be observed / does not explain the results
6. is / is not a limiting factor

Seems very straightforward, but many people tend to make careless mistakes and read the questions wrongly. Do be careful when you read the questions ok... Don't give away your precious marks! For those who have finished all TYS Qns, Ill upload more MCQ Qns from Mon night onwards. Click on the label on the right MCQ QUESTIONS and practice k. This is really the last lap. So, All the best!
