Tips from the people who write it
- Read each question carefully, and again if you need to. Diagrams aren't always drawn to scale.
- Study diagrams and graphs before you answer: check the measures, markings and how things relate.
- Answer every multiple-choice question, even if you're unsure: no mark is taken off for a wrong answer.
- Show every step on the written questions, and include units when the question uses them.
- Set your calculator to degrees before you start.
