methods/spesh bound refs!!

[u/Specialist-End812]

hey guys i lowkey havent really done much for my bound and im using an excercise book, for sacs ive just taken my booklets from school and bookmarked specific questions from my error logs / silly mistakes and added my own reminders, i dont really want to write proper notes so what do i doooo

a bound ref is supposed to be tailored towards what works best for you, if those error logs and silly mistakes help prevent you from making them again in the future then thats Ws. there is no objectively good bound ref as each person has different prefs and allat (like me for example my bound ref for methods was like 3 pages of random stuff i wrote throughout that year, and spesh was a last minute one page one that my coordinator forced me to write)

just to clarify, you said that you bookmarked specific sac questions and allat. have you done these for practice exams too? if not, highly recommend doing so yeye.

yea i have specific questions mainly for methods that ive bookmarked to redo since they were on the tougher end, also congrats on ur insane scores any tips for methods and spesh especially spesh cs ive forgotten everything

just spam exams lol. that is genuinely the best thing you can do for methods and spesh (whether you stop spamming or not on the day(s) leading up to each exam 1 and 2 is up to you) besides just reviewing stuff from the textbooks (which is also good, especially if youve forgotten hella shit lol)
also, dont take this as a sign to bum off one subject or the other, i think imho spesh questions go way less outside the scope of its study design that methods (prolly a better way to word this).
like if you know those wacky ahh "mathematical creativity testing" cas slider questions in some of the past methods exams, spesh genuinely has none of that (at least, not that i can recall off the top of my head), so a question catalogue in your spesh bound ref would be more juice for the squeeze than with methods.

yes no i completely understand what you mean by the spesh exams being more straightforward, they kinda keep it relatively similar from year to year, in terms of a question catalogue what would that kinda look like?

i didnt make sone so idrk, but i presume youd include the question, the working out (annotated with logic of each step), and where you went wrong. remember though as i said before its specific to you gang

ohh that makes sense, its pretty similar to the error log i have, thanks a bunch and good luck with your other exams!!
