Most of the Students are keen to know how they can revise to
get high scores in GCSE exam especially for the Calculator paper which is
generally assumed easier but it’s not all about using calculator only. Here are
a few tips for students to pass their GCSE paper with a comprehensive revision.
Your approach matters
more than the solution:
Always remember, examiners are not trying to discover
another solution book for the papers rather they value your approach to solve
the questions. This is the key to get good marks especially in numerical
papers. Being a GCSE student you should be careful about answering because
sometimes even a single decimal place can cause wining or loosing marks.

Haste Makes Waste;
especially in Mathematics
Even if you are pretty sure about the answer as you’ve
already solved a similar question last night before the exam, still don’t start
answering rapidly. Putting extra time and focus on the particulars of a
question can give you another chance to secure your marks. Hurriedness can cause
a student wasting precious marks which he / she could get by answering
sensibly.
Learn the Calculator
Signs Thoroughly
Once a senior GCSEtutor in London was sharing his yearly experience and none of the listeners
could argue when he said “most of the students get calculator but they remain unable
to learn its signs and their functions completely. It is a fact though. Take it
as a caution as well.
Let the examiner know
how you derived answers
If you are habitual of solving questions using calculator, still
don’t forget to show workings on the paper because these will let the examiner
know how you got the right answer. Besides this, workings will let you double
check your answer because you’ll be verifying each of the steps twice. All the
seasoned GCSE tutors recommend this
strategy from years.
Formula Sheet is not
useless
Formula sheet on the paper with formulas for quadratics,
cones etc. is not purposeless. Try using it wherever it applies. This is a
hidden treasure and you can learn how to use it with practice.
Trust Your Calculator
Getting an answer after a long calculation and then using it
for further calculations is always recommended as a wise decision. Those
students who try to put the answer found manually may miss cent per cent
accuracy; besides this, omitting or misplacing just a single figure can make
huge difference. Even after writing down your answers, check these again to
stay away from losing marks. Be careful!
