BRING YOUR CALCULATOR

Don't leave your revision to the last minute. START NOW!!! Plan it well. Break it down into sections and topics.

BRING YOUR CALCULATOR

You need strong foundations in basic Maths to build on. Spend about ten minutes a day reading through the area(s) that cause you the most problems on a website or from a revision book. Start with simple examples until you are sure you know what you are doing. Move onto more difficult examples.

SHOW YOUR WORKING

CHECK YOUR ANSWERS

The Exam!!! When you are allowed to start your exam, take a few minutes to settle down. Read the paper through carefully. Find a question you are comfortable with starting, even if it is near to the end of the paper. Write something!!!
