Test Taking Strategy
- Do the easier questions first! These generally tend to be towards the start of the paper.
2 marks for an easy question is worth the SAME as 2 marks for a hard question.
You want to sweep up as many marks as you can within the first half hour. - Flag any difficult questions and come back to them at the end.
- Keep an eye on the clock and be conscious of your progress throughout the exam.
- Check that you have answered every question. Do not miss any pages.
- Keep in mind the list of silly mistakes that you made in your preparation. Do not repeat them in the exam - double check your answers.
- Make sure you include units if applicable (e.g. cm, seconds, degrees).
- Answer the question in the format that is asked of you (e.g. SIMPLEST FORM, EXACT VALUE [which normally means surd form], INDEX FORM, SIGNIFICANT FIGURES, SCIENTIFIC NOTATION, DECIMAL PLACES, NEAREST WHOLE NUMBER, DEGREES AND MINUTES...).
- If a question has multiple parts (e.g. a, b, c, ...) that are related, generally the solutions to the earlier parts will help you to solve the later parts.
