    If you have mocks tomorrow , should you not be studying like your life depends on it ?? And they`re only mocks like not the real thing , it doesn`t really matter if you screw up every paper !

    Well screwing up could be the best thing you do. It would motivate you to do well...hopefully

    Anyway they are only the Mocks, I didn't and couldn't study for mine last year because of my DCG project. They don;t matter, their only use is to give you a give up the rshole and let you know what the real thing will be like.

    Tbh, what advice can anyone give you the night before?

    Try to get a decent night's sleep (get off Boards! :p) ... have a look over your notes in the morning, and try to stay calm.

    READ the paper ... be sure you understand the questions.

    Be sure you have completed the correct number of questions, and the right number of options in each section.

    Have an idea of how much time you should be spending on each question, relative to the possible maximum marks available for that question, and try to stick to it.

    G'luck!

    Advice: don't cram!

    Advice: don't cram!

    Its probably not the best idea for the Mocks, but it does work for tests (regretfully).

    I'd recommend to cover a few chapters properly, who cares if you fail the test if you ace the topics you have properly covered??

    From experience, spend your time learning how to do the papers right rather than cramming vast amounts of study.
