Any tips on repeat sentence? I tried closing my eyes but to no avail. haha. Nagppractice din ako on youtube and ang hahaba ng sentences (like more than 10 words) kaya nahihirapan pa din ako. So i guess, i have to practice some more to work these brain cells.
Btw, while taking the exam i noticed yung save and exit button. What does it exactly do? I didn't dare click it haha. Is it the same thing as clicking next?
During the mock exam, nagexceed ako sa time, so i noticed nagred lng yung timer ko but it didn't cut me off (although i tried to just go over a minute and then clicked next). Kahit yung essay 2 - hindi ko na natapos ang 3rd body ko and i just finished it off with 1 sentence conclusion dahil nagexceed nko sa time. Sa actual exam ba, totally icut-off ka while mid-typing, may naka-try naba kulangan ng time during essay writing?
essay questions (1) thoughts on TV as source of info and entertainment, has it been effective (2) thoughts on compulsory voting - and its place on a democratic government

Yes during the exam, macucut ka na lang if nagexpire ang time mo sa essay. Better take note on the time palagi para magauge mo sarili mo if kukulangin ka ba ng time or hindi.

Romans 12:12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
James 5:7-8 Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Onward to the next chapter!
