The little things to get right in Methods

[NE2000]

I keep hearing from teachers that the difference between a 40 and a 50 in methods is pretty much just doing all the little things right and getting the small marks that heaps of people lose. But what are these little things (can we maybe create a list based on part experience?).

Things like reading the question correctly: giving full coordinates or one coordinate when asked for, dilating from the correct axis, using (and giving) correct domain for graphs and solving equations (e.g. open endpoints), making sure you really understand what those damn probability questions are asking for... there are lots of things to consider.

However I think you also need to work quite fast because although the question in 2008 weren't that hard, some were quite long and it's probably a good idea to have time to check over questions without worrying that you haven't completed any.

Working fast is true, but don't work too fast or else you'll make silly mistakes. And always remember to put full coordinates not just ordinates.
