Quick tips, version Mathematics.
1. After you're done, DO have a look at pupil's analysis, because you'll get your hands on all the silly mistakes people have done earlier, and believe me, this is the best way to bridge the gap between 99 and 100.
2. Look at any past papers that you still have and see what you did wrong. Make it a point to not repeat them tomorrow.
3. Remember to keep all your instruments handy. Don't be careless here.
4. Practice all your constructions and graphs carefully, don't forget to mark the important points,etc.
5. Remember to write your final answer once more at the end, with proper units. This gives a good impression.
6. Try to leave a couple of lines after every question, so that if you have time at the end, you can draw lines to separate the question. Examiners love this shit, believe me.
7. Do your rough work neatly. Ironic, yes, but the importance of this minute point will appear when you are revising and you don't have to spend time making head or tail of your calculations. Also, this helps the examiner, and keeps them happy. You want that, right?
8. Remember the awful units please. The worst kind of mistake that can happen is not writing the units in the answer. This hurts as much as stubbing your toe against the bed. Ouch.
9. Attempt extra questions ONLY after revising your paper, especially Section A.
10. The paper will be DAMN easy, and that's the whole problem. You will fly off to the seventh heaven on seeing the rubbish paper and in your overconfidence, commit mistakes that a 4th grader would laugh at. The paper will be easy, keep that in mind, so don't be relieved if its easy. BE extra cautious.
11. In the unlikely scenario that the paper appears tough to you, keep calm and just apply what you know. The questions are never beyond what you've been taught. Still, the probability of this happening is -ve, and the probability of a probability being -ve is 0, so....yeah, you get my point.
12. Sleep well. Drowsy people make more mistakes.
13. Try to avoid ogive, etc if possible. You may be the master of the trade, but there are still chances the examiner finds something wrong in it. Rather be safe than sorry.
14. Just keep calm and buzz off your fears. It will be a paper you'll laugh at, just make sure you don't give the paper a chance to laugh at you by doing 6*5 = 36.
The 100 is there for the taking.
Make sure you pocket it.
And yeah, the cliche must be religiously followed:
RIP THE PAPER APART! |
