This is an excerpt from an Irish Times article today relating to maths in the final weeks / days before the exams. Makes sense.

MATHS

Now is the time where you need to identify where your strengths lie and where you need to avoid. Complete two or three past papers, mark it using the marking scheme and identify your best questions in each paper. Make sure you can answer at least the minimum amount of questions in each paper and have one for backup, in case there’s a hiccup on the day of the exam. Once you’ve identified those questions that you can do, you need to sit down and start making your way through question after question.

If you get any wrong, take out your red pen and identify what mistake you made and understand why you made it. The more of these practise questions you do, the less likely you are to be thrown by a (c) part question on the day.
