Mathematics Assessment

REMEMBER YOUR TIMING Don't spend too long on one question. If your calculation seems too complicated, stop and check you are going down the right path. The first few pages are the most important part! If time allows revisit them at the end.

WHAT IS THE QUESTION ASKING? Read it carefully and underline the keywords. Pause to think about what it is asking before beginning.

ACCURATE WORK Keep calculations neat and work down the page. Show all your workings. Underline the values that you are using again. Use the given diagrams to mark on any given information carefully. Check your work carefully to make sure it makes sense.

ALWAYS HAVE A GO If a long question seems 'too hard' try to write down something that you do know - you will pick up valuable 'method marks'. Sometimes when you come back to a question after a break it magically makes sense.
