Studying maths and languages?

So I'm really stressing out and I've no idea how to study for the above. Like what should I be looking to study? How do I study for maths? Like what should I look over?

WITH MATHS, YOU EITHER KNOW IT OR DONT..YOU WILL NO AT THIS STAGE! JUST KEEP DOING QUESTIONS...THATS ALL YA CAN DO!
FOR LANGUAGE KEEP WRITTING OUT STUFF,,,VOCAB,LETTERS ETC.. FAMILIARISE YOURSELF WITH PAPER..
GOOD LUCK...:D

For French, I make lists of words, although it's too late for that now. Try doing some aural work from your exam papers.

For anyone who isn't learning theorems: Make sure you know the statements of the theorems anyway, because they are the basis for many of the other questions, even if a proof of the theorem is not required.

The theorems are worth 5%. Apart from that, much of questions three and four in paper two are based on theorems, even if you don't have to prove them.

It would be foolish to neglect learning your theorems. It's an easy 5% as far as I'm concerned.

For a language:
Well i do spanish, so a majority of the marks go for the reading comprehensions, the second most for the aural and the least for the written stuff, so what i did to study was I started off with the reading comps, and i did every.single.one that was in my exam papers, and i have the o.l and h.l papers combined, so i started off with the o.l ones and worked my way up, and every time i came across a word i didnt know i would highlight it, write the translation above it, and write it into a copy, i eventually had a few pages of these words, but every time they came up in a different reading comp. i would put a tick beside the word in the copy, so that way i know which words have a higher chance of coming up, and i can prioritise learning them.

For the aural I put all the sound files back to 2000 on my ipod (to make it easier to do the listenings) and i did every single listening comp. all the way back too, and every so often i just listen to spanish radio online.

For the writing we have 3 sections, numbers, sentences, and the letter. For the number section i wrote out all the numbers 1-100, then all the 100's (200, 300 etc) up to 1000 and then the year (because thats guarenteed to come up) and the ordanal numbers (1st, 2nd etc) up to 8th, and then i just practiced the questions. For the sentences i also just practiced the questions, and most of the verbs and vocab used tends to be quite repeditive. I just practiced the letters too, and learned the marking scheme and layout, and then i learned some opening phrases (Como estas, espero que estes bien! etc.) some general phrases (like asking them to stay with you etc.) and some closing phrases.


For maths:

What i did was pick 1 question, and do only that question all the way back to the last year (dont do the sample papers, the questions are different), this gives you a good idea of what sort of things they can ask, and you get into the habbit of doing them

I think I'm covered realistically. Got an A in HL Maths, C in HL Irish (always been a poor subject of mine) and a B in HL French in the mocks so anything near those grades I'd be happy with. Just a little last minute panic kicking in now.
