Complete as many questions as you can especially the ones you have confident of doing. This is especially important in Paper 1 (the one where you cannot use a calculator). Do not waste too much time on a question especially when there are others you can do with ease.
And just like the rule of the Hungry, Hungry Hippos game, "whoever gobbles up the most marbles wins".
I only get to play this game ONCE during my childhood *sob*sob*
2. Revise Your Heuristics. Have Faith in Them. Believe in Yourself.
Stick to your training.
Read the questions and anticipate the techniques/heuristics you are going to apply to solve them. For the full list of the heuristics, you can of course go to Moodle.
And even when you get your answer, do not get complacent. Use logic-check and use 'work backwards' technique to check for the validity of your answer.
the Legendary 7 -methods can combo to take out those 4-5m questions; just like the Power Rangers Ultra-Mega Giant Zord... haha:)

3. 4-5 Mark Question ;- Focus on Your Strengths. Keep Things in Perspective and Don't Lose Your Cool
As we've seen many times, the 4-5 mark questions will normally consist of questions covering;-
- Models (for topics of Ratio, Percentage, Decimal and Fraction),
- Speed,
- Area and Perimeter of Circle
- Volume
- Number Patterns (maybe)
- Non-Routine problem
And I'm sure you have strengths(s) for 1 or more of the above topics. Knowing this will improve your self-confidence and keep anxiety at bay. Besides, all the topics (except the non-routine) have a certain 'weaknesses' (techniques to overcome them) :P
Remember, there's always a solution :)
