If an Ezyxam mock exam provides these tools, practise using them before an important test.

For mathematics, the scratchpad can be used for:

• Calculations

• Diagrams

• Number lines

• Tables

• Working backwards

• Multi-step reasoning

For reasoning questions, notes can help record patterns or eliminate possibilities.

For example, instead of repeatedly rereading a complex question, write down the key relationships and test each option against them.

However, notes should support thinking rather than become a distraction.

Do not write down unnecessary information.

Use short calculations, symbols and keywords.

Students should also understand exactly what is permitted in the official examination before relying on any digital feature.

The best strategy is to practise the same workflow during mock assessments.

Read → Identify information → Use scratchpad → Solve → Check.
