Module 47 of 47Lesson 1 of 2 · The Final 48 Hours — Exam-Ready Checklist
AI SL · THE FINAL 48 HOURS

Consolidate. Don’t cram.

The last two days are for sharpening what you already know — sleep, checklists and light, targeted review beat heroic all-nighters every time.

⏳ Countdown timeline

T–48h last timed mock + mark it T–24h light review · GDC prep · pack bag Evening flashcards only · full night’s sleep Exam eat · arrive early · execute

✅ T–48h checklist

  • Sit (or re-mark) your final mock under full timed conditions.
  • For every lost mark write one line: paper · question · topic · reason.
  • Re-do the 3–4 highest-frequency weak topics from your whole score log — questions, not notes.
  • Re-run the formula-booklet 60-second drill.

✅ T–24h checklist

  • GDC: charge to 100%, update OS if needed, clear clutter, test Press-to-Test.
  • Bag: GDC, spare pens/pencils, ruler, eraser, water, snack, ID, watch.
  • Skim your one-line error log — do NOT open new topics.
  • Lights out at your normal time. Sleep is consolidation.

📄 Paper-by-paper battle plan

Paper 1

80 marks · 90 min · GDC
Short questions. ~1.1 min per mark — move on if stuck, return later.
Paper 2

80 marks · 90 min · GDC
Extended questions. Show GDC input in working for method marks.

🌅 Exam-day routine

Eat properly → arrive early → use reading time to plan the whole paper → bank easy marks first → keep 5 minutes at the end to check units, 3-significant-figure rounding, and that every part of every question has an attempt. An attempted method can still earn M marks — a blank never can.

A calm, rested student who executes the plan beats a tired student who crammed all night — every time.
