Answer 1

Good old fashioned CHEATING !!!

Answer 2

make sure you really "know" the material and what the lesson is about. that's my biggest thing when studying for a test...knowing what to use (like this formula or doing that there). Usually I understand the lesson but knowing when and how to use it is the key most of the time for me....know it inside and out- good luck!  

Answer 3

the only way is to do practice papers and more practice papers unitl you're getting the grade you want

Answer 4

just make sure you study, do practice problems, and try reading the lessons and taking notes on them the day before so you can really pay attention in class. also, try doing soduku puzzles everyday. they may not seem like they are doing anything, but they keep  your brain sharp with numbers.

Answer 5

I'm really awful with exams, too.  I find it best to check over my answer before I move onto the next problem to cut down on careless error.

Answer 6

Practice is very important so do as many sums as possible in preparation for the exams. Gain confidence in your ability by doing a few every day. Ask your teacher for help with harder sums. During the exam do the questions you are best at first. This will help boost your confidence and help you relax.  Do these fairly quickly and skip anything you find harder. Don't waste time. Also you may begin to panic if you waste time on a trickier question and sometimes it seems a lot clearer the second time round. Then when you've done the easier questions go back and do the harder ones slowly and carefully. Try to have a method and think about it logically, keep your head clear and don't panic. Use all the time given to you and make sure to check over everything at the end. Alternatively you may prefer to check over your answers every few questions to give yourself a break from writing. Good Luck.

There is only one way and that is revise - revise - and revise.  Monotonous but it works.

Answer 12

practice makes perfect

so keep at it and try to remember how to solve problems and you should be fine
