4. Solve easy questions first: Save time and reduce pressure for tough ones.

5. Work backward from options: Use option elimination & plugging in values.

6. Spot calculation patterns: Use formulas: (a±b)², a²–b², divisibility rules.

7. Reduce rough work: Use compact steps, arrows, and short symbols.

8. Practice with a timer: Train yourself using 30-sec/question drills.

9. Analyse and fix mistakes: Maintain a “mistake book” to avoid repeats.
