Exam preparation lesson 20: Checking your answers · Set 950 · 40 questions

Study tip (Hunt the slips): Smart checks: units in each answer, all parts answered, question numbers right, roll number written, key sums reworked, spelling of key terms, labels on diagrams. Kinds of slips: calculation slip (7 × 8 = 54), copying slip (45 used as 54), missed part (only part (a)), missing unit (20 instead of 20 cm²). Does the answer make sense?
