What!! Sup for maths, what was your score, jeez you must be good. Did you find the track question hard or easy. I got a high average so you must be good. High avg for numerical, above for vr, high for creative, sup for persuasive and high reading. lol lots of high. Overall got above. I needed to go to the toilet as well during the writing but i managed to finish with ten mins to go and went after which was good. Ive got a few tips for persuasive. First, improve your vocabulary as this helped heaps with mine as I got a 5 for my vocab part of writing criteria. Secondly, include a rebuttal as I added this in my mock test piece and pulled it off well. Key to writing a good rebuttal would be to come up with a sound idea and then make sure to refute it again within rebuttal, one thing a lot of people forget to do. Thirdly, this will vary person to person, but do a lot of research on topics that not many people would study on, these can be found in newspapers and news articles as for this weeks simulation (Sim 2), I came up with a good few ideas for why i though rural life was better. I found it helpful knowing a lot of prior information and this helped me strengthen my point. So yeah, include VERY high standard vocab, structure it in a way that suites you ( I just stick to the normal 2 paras for/ against then my rebuttal), and don't spend too much time on planning if time management is an issue. For the actual time management aspect, don't get distracted by what others are doing in the test and only focus on yourself, try write fast (obviously) and go into the test with an open mind. Do you mind sharing any maths advice on how you understood the questions and get great scores for math, because currently, the questions themselves aren't the issue but rather time management and just not recognising the 'types' of questions in the heat of the moment.
