:eek3:

Practice. Which is often the secret to success in most things. Not really a secret though, is it?

Do every single past paper and understand the answers, preferably close to the exam.

It will be likely that most of the questions you did will come up in a similar form. if you remember how to do them, you're away.

Oh, and don't make stupid mistakes. Double, triple, quadruple check your answers at the end and when you're working through them.

Same as the secret to success in any of the other maths modules.

you do ask some silly questions -.-
Practice, practice and practice.
Do lots of past papers.
Target your weak areas.
I just re-sat C4 2 weeks ago and for this 2nd time, I did just that and I really saw the difference.

Be really careful with things like minus signs
As others have said it's just loads of practice.

understanding every single topic completely




through practice :p:
Don't get any questions wrong.
Looking over your work a zillion times- the tiniest sign change can make the biggest difference. And there are plenty of sign changes.

All past papers, make sure you know vectors because you get some nasty ones sometimes... (and I'm not very good at vectors anyway).

it comes down to good sleep, good breakfast and taking that slow deep breath right after you read the 8 marker :smile:
I didnt mind vectors...its learning all of the damned trig identities that is the problem...And yes yes you probably should learn how to derive them you might say but when it comes down to it I didn't and the same with most people I would imagine. Learn them =)
I'm asking myself the same question....
I don't think practice is the key to success in C4, yeah it helps but its better to understand and be able to derive the what you know.
