Advanced Mathematics - Don't waste time on work that is not assessed

Don't waste time on work that is not assessed

You won't get extra marks and you could contradict yourself with extra
working, thereby losing marks.

You will often use previous parts of the question to help solve later
parts - don't redo work that has already been done in an earlier part of
the problem.
