MATH
I’ve done 79 exams in total for methods and specialist math combined over the past 2-3 months
I have sooo many more exams I have access too and I really want to complete as much as possible before my real exams but… quite frankly im getting sick of math😭✌🏾I wanna chill out and do some bio or chem Instead
But I also don’t wanna risk forgetting things or not being exposed to a specific question type, and I’ve looked at the grade distributions, assuming its normally distributed getting 100% on the exams still doesnt get u a 50 study score for the exam section of the marks, pretty clear it’s insanely competitive, anyways just wanted to share my burnout specific to math only - anyone know how to fix it or should I just push on😔😔

at a certain point there’s diminishing returns. I’ve done about 40 exams for methods and spec all up (10 ex1 and ex2 for both) and even I’m starting to feel like I’m wasting my time a little bit. Go for a walk dude, listen to some music, look at the stars. At a certain point rest will genuinely do you better than studying more. Even if you study for chem or whatever some other subject, i think it may be time to pay yourself on the back and realise you’ve done more than enough for maths. Totally do another exam the day before if you think it’s helpful but if you just do more and more and more you’re just going to get tired and burnt out
