1. Use a calculator in the examination. There is no point in losing marks for
making silly mathematical errors that you would not normally
make.
2. Show your workings. Even if you get the wrong result, by showing your calculations
process you will pick up some marks.
3. Follow all instructions given on the paper (N.B. headings on analysis columns,
using + and - in budget comparison, etc).
4. Read the question carefully. Take note whether you were asked for a letter,
a memo or a report. Marks are awarded for using the correct
layout.
5. Keep an eye on timing. In the long questions, give 10 minutes for every 16
marks.
