Previous comment definitely made me think of goal free problems - totally agree here! I've found lots of students can be surprised at how many questions they can pick up at least one mark on if they're just trying to make sure they do SOMETHING good mathematically instead of leaving them blank.

Is it a general test or on a specific topic? I gave my students a short test last week on 6 topics (2 questions each); asked the ones to finish early to write an extra question on each topic which would make it a more well-rounded test. Really interesting to see what they came up with.

First book read this year was Under The Mistletoe With You by @littlehux.bsky.social - gorgeous follow-up to the wonderful Make You Mine This Christmas. Both books are must-reads if you like Christmas rom-coms!

If it's even remotely close to your normal standard I know it's AMAZING :)

A basically drawn Inktober piece by me, featuring a school classroom with one person smiling and everyone else sad.

Caption reads: "I dreamt I was naked at school...
But I was also so amazingly rich, no-one could complain or laugh.
It was GREAT."

A reminder - One candidate in these elections, Julia Williams, is a dedicated transphobic hate campaigner intending to make the Society of Authors an extension of the UK's campaign against trans people.

Ensure you vote, ensure you elect candidates who will defend the LGBT+ community.

The best way to do this right now, if you can swing it, is to support your favourite writers’ side gigs. Grab a paid sub for their newsletter, support them on Patreon, buy their self-pubbed projects, etc.

The less they have to rely on publisher money, the more leverage they have in negotiations.
