💡 Exam Tips
- Remember the order: Coordinates are always (x, y) - "across then up"
- Check quadrants: Use signs to verify your plotted points are in the correct quadrant
- Use graph paper: When drawing coordinate grids, make sure scales are equal
- Label your axes: Always mark x and y axes clearly
- Show working: For distance and midpoint calculations, substitute values clearly
