    Teacher never taught us the arithmetic Q, the 1st one on paper 1
    It looks so simple though
    Is it worth (or possible) learning overnight?

    Just do a question from past exam papers.
    It's probably the easiest thing on the paper.

    If you have a logical mind, yes. If you don't, no, it'll probably mess you up.

    Learn percentage error, tax, and the rest should be straight forward enough.

    You may get caught up on a tricky one, do it if you feel confident enough I guess.

    I'm quite bad a maths.

    But for me, it depends on the question. Sometimes you get a nice question, sometimes you don't.

    Nah it's piss.

    It's just like division basically, the mistake/actual result x 100/1.

    The tax is grand, even if you didn't do arithmetic you could get 7/10 marks or whatevers going for it. But if you feel like you're struggling with a bit of arithmetic in the exam move on. It's one of those questions you can spend too long on and be rushed for time at the end. You can always go back to it. Personally I like to get algebra out of the way first; I feel as if doing arithmetic first puts me into JC mode and then when I see algebra I **** bricks.

    Best of luck.

    Do the best six question's you're comfortable with and if you have time attempt it I say, but like Beau said you need some of them formula's for some of the questions.
