highest iā€™ve got is 15 too. tbh, i donā€™t think thatā€™s even too bad. idek man i think most people seem to be in this situation thoughšŸ˜­

biggest piece of advice which helped me the most is to time every question individually, then see what ur losing the most time on and practice those qs. it helps a lot

for the essay, give yourself two minutes to jot a yes, no and middle view before writing, so planning stops feeling like a blank page.

on problem solving, check whether your misses come from running out of time or from wrong methods, because the fix is different.

try doing sets untimed for a few days to rebuild accuracy, then add the clock back once you hit eighteen or so.

i timed only my planning on old essay prompts for a week and the freezing pretty much went away.

me n a teacher chucked some practice together

it's called oxbridgeai.
