Tricks to eliminate common mistakes

  • use 4 sig. figures in calculations and round off to 3 in presentation(examiner report says this that to make final answer accurate student must use higher accuracy in working)
  • all the bearing should be 3 figures but one decimal place if not exactly whole number. All angles(in degrees) should be correct to one decimal place.
  • All angles in radians should be 3 decimal place of.(Add maths stuff, don't get confused if u dont know about radians ;) )
  • Write units during working.
  • always use standard units except when stated(such as 'give answer in cm/minute' )
  • try to write formula which u use. if convenient write reason/rule for each working. such as after any statement write (sine rule) if u used sine rule. in trignometry u can write like this ABC=180-70=110deg(ABC and BCD are supplementary). this makes sure u get working marks even if u made some very serious errors which leads to wrong answer
  • show as much working as possible
  • when examiner gives u 2 lines in bio/chem/phy theory paper that means that the examiner wants a very brief but right-to-the-point answer. writing long stories will earn no marks. Maybe the actual thing u meant to write is left outside given space, leaving it useless.
  • before writing answer check that u r about to answer what question demands, sometimes we write the value which we calculated to solve question in answer, leaving rest of the working. match units, if u are asked to write Power make sure u have written answer in Watts or KWH.
  • GOLDEN RULE: dont start question as soon as u read it, underline any important word that might be very important. study diagrams very carefully. then make a strategy for solving it. after u have arrived at u strategy then think 'is there any way due to which my method might be wrong?' then solve ur answer, this will eliminate 90% of ur mistakes.

IMPORTANT QUESTION:
Question:Why some values recorded do not lie on graph?
answer:
  • liquid from previous experiment remained
  • parallax error
  • any other error acording to the experiment
make sure that u give reasons for value being bigger if the point is above the line and vice versa

For english, watch movies, serials anything that'll boost your imagination :D When the CIE people speak of learning the proper formats, they talk about informal tone and formal tone. you should know which tone to use in which type of writing. I got an A* with all this.

All the guess paper threads are full of pst, urdu and islamiat etc.
It's a request that please talk about CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS, MATHS, ADDITIONAL MATHS, BIOLOGY, COMPUTER, ENGLISH ONLY.
Please talk about any tips u have for papers, ask any doubts u have for papers and if anybody thinks something is very expected please share. everybody's opinion and tips will be appreciated and I will personally try to clear any doubts if u have. Go ahead!!

Please pray that Allah gives all of us shining A*zz :D

Where exactly is Urdu's guess paper? I know its irrelevant in this thread but Im kinda helpless here. :confused:
