Examiners advise that candidates should write down any appropriate formula before attempting to use it as this provides evidence of correct method, and that for clarity they should start each question on a fresh page, writing each step on a new line.

Summary

You must not assume that these questions illustrate all that you can be asked. There are various types of questions on these topics, many substantially longer than those given here. You need to practice as many past examination questions as you can, writing out specimen answers and checking them with a tutor. Find out at your school or college where you can get past examinations questions from.
