• Solve sample papers, but proceed with caution. Because the syllabus has changed, sample papers should no longer be blindly followed. Only the issues that are still included in the updated syllabus must be solved.
• Makes notes while you study. These will help you stay on track and remember everything, plus allow for quick review during exam week.
• Take practice exams; they will assist you in correcting clumsy and last-minutes mistakes.
