    1. Avoid silly mistakes

    Avoid silly mistakes like ignoring a ‘+’ or ‘-’ sign, copying numbers wrong, or making simple addition/subtraction mistakes. These can be very costly. Practice till you are perfect.

    1. Go through a problem carefully.  Then work out the answer step-by-step.
    2. Present your solutions clearly in steps, line-by-line.
    3. Always understand the question correctly before venturing to work out the solution. Once you start writing the answer and it is incorrect, you lose precious space in the question answer booklet. And later, even if you figure out you have to rework your answer; you might not be able to because of a space crunch.
    4. Always prepare and keep a formula sheet handy with you.
    5. Always solve mathematical problems with a relaxed mind. Panic can cause confusion and you will end up faring badly in your WBCS optional paper.
