- Attempt at least five previous-year or model papers under the real time limit before the exam. Timed practice is where most marks are lost or saved.
- Keep an error log. Re-attempt every wrong question after 1, 3 and 7 days; this is what the spaced revision in Myrix Learn does for you automatically.
- For subjective papers, write full answers by hand at least twice a week; examiners award step marks, diagrams and labelled figures.
