Step 2 · Sort the paper

Paper open, mark scheme beside it. For every question that lost marks: the question number, the marks lost, the cause, and one honest line about what happened.

Step 3 · Pattern read-out

Which cause appears most?

That's your repair target [the one fix that moves the most marks]. The tally updates as you sort.

Where fixing effort pays most

Didn't know it and Answer technique move the most marks — they respond fastest to targeted work. Ran out of time and Careless slip are pacing and checking habits — fixed by routines, not more revision. Misread the question sits in between: it's a reading habit with a technique fix.
