    Do you understand what you are being asked in the questions?

    Are you showing all the steps you are taking to get to an answer?

    39% isn't too bad. You almost passed. Keep trying and don't give up

    Update: even my teacher said she was surprised that I got 39%. She said I should be getting around 60% on a "bad day"

    What exams are these? Surely it's too early for the mocks.

    Can you scan the paper and throw it up? Maybe delete any identifying info.

    I can't, I left it in school. But the exam wasn't an official exam by the state examinations it was just the topics we did since first year and they were past papers and mock papers
