    Just make sure that you allocate your time (so 1.5 hours for question 1 and 0.75 hours for each of the other two).
    Make sure that you do something – however little – for each part of each question. (If part (b) requires a number that you were supposed to calculate in part (a) then even if you got the number wrong or had to invent a number, then you still get the marks – you don’t lose marks twice).
    Remember that you need 50% to pass, so aim to get 50% right for every part of every question – anything extra you do is a bonus which makes it more certain that you will pass.
    State your assumptions – especially in question 1.
    Make sure you get the presentation 4 marks in question 1 – they are easy marks however difficult the question itself may be.
