Underline key words when reading the question
Bearings are 3 digit
Before pressing enter on your calculator, make sure you've typed in what you intend to type

Just be really careful. This was the only SAC where I dropped a mark. In addition to what Lala1911 has said, check that your calculator is in degree mode and take your time.
