10 Bonus tips to avoid silly mistakes in maths exam

  1. Plus or minus? Read the sign in front of the number carefully!
  2. Do not skip steps. You may be in a hurry. But “durghatna se der bhali!”
  3. Getting lost in too many steps in a question? Please look into it again. Sometimes we overcomplicate a problem.
  4. Recheck your calculations. There is no shame in admitting that you did 1+1=3, if you catch your mistake in the right time!
  5. Do small checks in middle of the steps. Angles in a triangle not adding up to 180? Go back to step 1!
  6. If you have a gut feeling that something is wrong, chances are that something is wrong. Your subconscious brain often picks up your follies much before you consciously do. So listen to your heart.
  7. How may decimal places should you write your answer to? Check the instructions set in the question paper. Usually board tells this in the guidelines.
  8. Of all the papers, maths is THE ONE where you must revise your answers. Try to keep 20-25 minutes for this.
  9. There are often options in a question. Make sure that you are not answering more than required.
  10. Remember the joke where a student was shocked to hear from his friend that there was a back side to the paper too? Well don’t let that happen with you. Check that you are answering all questions.

Importance of rough work in maths paper

You absolutely must worship your rough work space. Please do not take this lightly – your marks get decided by what you do in your rough work in maths exam. The tiniest mistake there leads to loss of huge marks in the paper.

A. For small calculations, you can make a margin on the side of the paper and do rough work there. But neatly mark this area as rough work, draw line using a scale.

B. For larger calculations, dedicate one side of the paper for rough work. (PS Do check the rules of the board regarding this. Your teachers can help you out in knowing beforehand about this). If you are using one full page for rough work, mark it neatly as rough work. Also, do not assume that teacher will know which page is rough work and which is your answer. The paper checkers have less time to mark so many answer sheets, you need to have a good presentation in your paper to ensure the checker knows which is where.
