Maths exam tips that actually move marks
Always show working — method marks save you when the final answer is wrong.
Underline the command word (work out, prove, show that) before you start.
On a non-calculator paper, leave fractions as fractions until the final line.
Re-read the question after solving — you often miss "give your answer to 2 d.p."
OCR GCSE Maths typically has 2-3 papers depending on the specification — check the latest from OCR.
