Exam Day Revision & Problem Solving Checklist
- ✓Differentiate standard functions: sin x → cos x, cos x → -sin x, tan x → sec²x, eˣ → eˣ, ln x → 1/x
- ✓Evaluate trigonometric limits in radians
- ✓Review Core Theory, Derivations & Solved Proofs before tackling multi-step practice questions

High-Yield Exam Strategy & Scoring Tips
Step-by-Step Mark Allocation
Always state the governing principle or formula first, write given values with standard SI units, substitute clearly, and highlight the final numerical answer with units in a box for full step marking.
Common Calculation Traps
Watch for unit prefixes (cm to m, minutes to seconds, g to kg, degrees to radians). In coordinate and ray optics problems, double-check Cartesian sign conventions before computing.
