- If direct/inverse proportion comes up, READ THE QUESTION! Check whether y is proportional to x, or the square of x, or the cube or the square root.
- In trial and improvement questions make sure you check the midpoint of your last two trials so you know which one is correct
- If a question involves a right-angled triangle it's probably a Pythagoras or Sohcahtoa question.
- In a circle theorem question, if you can't spot the answer, check ALL the circle theorems - people always forget about cyclic quadrilaterals and the 'angles in the same segment' rule.
- Write your workings (ie what route you're using) in vector questions to get method marks.
- Remember z angles = alternate, f angles = corresponding and external angles in a regular polygon sum to 360.
