Sign errors in algebra dominate lost marks
Expanding brackets and solving equations — track negative signs on every line. Tutors use error logs so the same slip does not repeat across CBA and final exams.
Always include units in measurement questions
Junior Cycle geometry and trigonometry questions penalise missing cm, m, or degree symbols. Write units as you work, not only on the final answer.
Show method for partial credit
Even when the final number is wrong, clear steps can earn attempt marks — especially on long-division style problem-solving questions.
Practise CBAs as mini mock exams
Classroom-Based Assessments mirror exam conditions. Treat each CBA as a timed dry run and review with a tutor within 48 hours.
