Mr Main's top GCSE Maths tips:
1. Spend the first 5 mins reading the paper
This will calm you down, give you an idea of what you will be doing and help prevent silly mistakes at the start.
You can write key words / rules next to each question that you have just revised.
2. Read each question twice and underline key words
Make sure you have identified what you are being asked to do and that your final answer is what you are being asked for.
3. Show your calculations
Demonstrate to the examiner you understand what you are doing. Your claculations are your insurance against small mistakes that can cost your final mark in a question.
4. * Look out for the stars *
A starred question always needs a written conculsion.
5. Check for units and rounding
Make sure you have given units if you are asked for them and also that you have rounded your answers correctly.
6. Answer every question
Don't leave gaps, make a logical guess. It could get you some valuable extra marks.
7. Have all your equipment
Don't penalise yourself before you start.
2 black pens (in case 1 runs out)
2 sharp pencils
Ruler
Rubber
Pair of compasses
Protractor

Apple devices vulnerable to attack via bogus charger
Any Apple device running the iOS operating system could be infected by the bogus charger
Apple iPhones can be taken over with
"alarming" ease using a custom-built charger, security researchers warn.
Using the bogus charger, a team from Georgia Institute of Technology managed to infect a phone with a virus in less than a minute.
Any device using Apple's iOS operating system would be as vulnerable to infection, claim the trio.
More details of their work will be given at the upcoming Black Hat USA hacker conference.
Computer control
Brief details of the work were given in a summary of the talk the three researchers are scheduled to present at the hackers' get-together.
The researchers, Billy Lau, Yeongjin Jang and Chengyu Song, said they were able to get around the many defences in iOS to install any software they wanted on a target device.
"All users are affected, as our approach requires neither a jailbroken device nor user interaction," they wrote.
The team created their malicious charger using a tiny bare-bones computer called a BeagleBoard that costs about £30 ($45).
"This hardware was selected to demonstrate the ease with which innocent-looking, malicious USB chargers can be constructed," wrote the researchers in their conference summary.
This computer on the BeagleBoard communicates with the target computer and carries out the attack that loads malicious software. The researchers say they studied Apple's security systems closely to find a way round its attempts to stop attackers installing rogue programmes and apps.
The researchers hid the malicious application they installed by using the same method Apple employs to conceal the location of its own applications on iOS devices.
The presentation will also make recommendations about how Apple could close the vulnerability uncovered by the team.
Black Hat USA is due to take place in Las Vegas from 27 July - 1 August.
