The most important one would be "Get the answers right."

Umm, check what you're doing as you go. Make sure you increase the index when you integrate, etc. Stupid mistakes = bad.

Read the questions properly, too.

Pfft, as if people memorise their exams. Most are too busy trying to finish it.

Hints? Learn time management. Ie. 18 minutes per question.
Number 2: Don't make stupid mistakes.

Haha, how helpful.

Let me get my shotgun to shoot the dude who said "haha 2unit doesn't need studying". Don't be a knowitall showoff to the less equipped maths brains.

hey guys i got a tip for u guys dat struggle to pass the exam like myself for the 4u.. =(

try to do d exam in 2.5 hours doing the questions u know.. if ders really hard or challenging questions leave it as u try and blitz through the exam.. and then da remaining half hour you should go back to da questions you answered and make sure that all of your working out is correct. ie chek if ur signs are correct, you have a + c on indefinite integrals etc. i know dat u wont get the 100% but at least ur makiing sure dat da questions you did was 100%, so u dont end up wasting time doing a challenging questiobn dat u MAY or MAY NOT get.

but if youi do hav time left den try and do da first few parts of the challenging questions, dat way ull scab easy 1 or 2 marks.

and if a question has two parts and the first part is a prove question and they give you the equation, use dat to answer the second part which should b subbing values in.

nonetheless, do da questions dat u can do as fast as you can!
hope i helped u guys in any way =)

there is no such thing as being ready for maths, --> you can <b> NEVER study </b> enough.
