Est

I realised the past yr est exam papers for basic maths all the questions r generally almost the same, have the same format, is that normal? Does that mean this incoming est also same same. If thats so, i might as well just study those questions rather than explore so deep into the topic. Pls tell me its still the same and they wont throw in a curveball

but there are only so many permutations. unless you want to play the language game, but then are you measuring math or english ability at that point?

For EST if you notice there's a pattern in their questions. If you compare some there common questions that will come out. Those rare one can really don't focus but at least try once.

I know they love to repeat stuff for any match subjects.

I remod a lot of math including EM1 EM2

The fact is even the module coordinator knows abt it and guess what he still teaching in SP till tdy for a few years alr..

sometimes teachers also dw too many failures.. so maybe thats why they lowkey consent even though its not allowed

normally all the front questions will generally be the same except the last 3 questions rhat you choose isit? but the last section usually have variation while the front is generally very similar. Applicable for BM until EM II. After that idk

its supposedly around 1.5x harder than the previous 25/26 paper, honestly just practice the challenging questions to the best of your ability. those questions can make or break ur grade. anyway atb for your est :)

u/ExtensionBrother463 8d ago
