Taking exams can be more or less compared to anything. Like playing bball, or dota, or [insert mmo here]. Being able to understand the content is one thing. Actually knowing HOW to do it is another thing. For example, you know that balls travel in a parabolic trajectory. Being able to apply that knowledge and throwing ball into the basket is something else. Or lets say in dota.. you know a hero's skills and all, but if thats all, you won't be able to fully utilise the skills without trying them out first in combat. And so.. for taking exams, you might know what the cosine rule or sine rule is, but applying them in an actual exam question is totally different. Thats when experience comes in. ;D In the form of practice papers.
Therefore, I've gotten the theory part. Nows just to work on the experience part and I'm set. =) Haven't been exactly revising a lot. Not a little even, in fact. But starting this week, all out rush!!
