BriMT do you think redoing old practice questions I got wrong is effective or no?

If your preference is to study then I think doing past practice questions can be an effective way of doing that. I would, however, try to make sure you're doing it in a chill way and not make it your whole day.
Edit: like, try to do it in a chill/hype "yeah I got that exam, I've been making improvements and get to use tomorrow to show how much I've learned and pull my marks up" mindset
how would you explain how excersise helps decrease stress and increase resilience

hi hi so, this is what i would say basically (kinda simplified because i didn't want to type something that sounded good but didn't make sense.)
exercise up excess hormones that are secreted from the sympathetic NS when someone is experiencing something stressful (cortisol and adrenaline) - which can lower the arousal levels that an individual is feeling causing them to feel less stress
exercise also releases beta-endorphins are released when someone exercises, which can increase a person's resilience as they will have a more positive mood rather than being 'im sad about this thing, it's making me stressed but I'm not going to do anything about it because I feel grumpy.'
Someone in a positive mood would have a higher likelihood of reducing stress because they have a more positive outlook toward a stressor which can increase an individual's resilience
I hope this makes sense
if anyone wants to add anything else, feel free xx

Hello, what time allocation are you guys recommending
BriMT for each section of the paper?
Any tips on the 10 mark question? Being doing heaps of practice but would love a formula if any are willing to provide last min tips?
jakstar2468 i think twinklehello recommended IDEAS if you scroll up a bit, but personally I'm comfortable with literally answering the question in the order presented as well as using paragraphs and adding any other AOS that could be linked to the scenario/research.
Also best of luck for everyone hopefully the 10 marker isn't too bad and vcaa spares us
how did yall go with the 10 marker? tbh it was the easiest topic they could have used. )
i loved it i was so happy i was living my best life
how did you guys find the lazarus and folkman SA?
