  22. The Maths Exams

  24. During the exam

  25. Make friends with your calculator Make sure it is in DEG mode... Estimate your answers Always show workings!

  26. NO working + wrong answer = NO marks Correct working + wrong answer = SOME marks Show all stages in your calculations

  27. AQA Head of Maths Going right back to my school days, which were a long time ago, and beyond, teachers have been telling students to show their working clearly. However, we still see many instances of work with little structure and no indication of what is happening at each step of working. Well-structured answers with the odd word of explanation not only make the examiners’ task easier, but also make it much easier for the student to see what they are doing and make the right choice for the next step.
