Mathematics Exam Advice
- The first piece of advice is to read questions carefully. Don’t glance at a question and go off writing: take a moment to understand what you have been asked to do.
- Don’t use tippex; instead draw a simple line(s) through work that you think is incorrect.
- For equations, check your solution by substituting your solution into the original equation. If your answer is wrong and you know it is wrong: write that on your script.
If you do have time at the end of the exam, go through each of your answers and ask yourself:
- have I answered the question that was asked?
- does my answer make sense? If no, say so, and then try and fix your solution.
- check your answer (e.g. if you are looking at a general true, look at a special case; substitute your solution into equations; check your answer against a rough estimate; or what a picture is telling you; etc). If your answer is wrong, say so, and then try and fix your solution.

Week 12
We will finish our study of Graph Theory by looking at Eulerian graphs, Hamiltonian graphs, and Dirac’s Theorem.
We had the test on Tuesday.
On Friday we had a look at this graph, a Chapter 4 question:
