Here’s my own tricks & tricks:
1) Use pen mode, not mouse mode. (Guess you know that)
2) Make sure that 1 cm on the tablet matches 1 cm on the screen. Don’t let the stroke gets scaled.
3) Place the tablet directly in front of your monitor.
4) Sit in a good chair, at a desk with the right height. You might also want to angle the tablet something like 30 degrees.
5) Download some good pencils. If you’re using Photoshop, Kyle Webster sells some good ones. I have made some free ones here:

6) Remember to zoom in. Make a habbit of using the entire tablet for your strokes. Try to use the shoulder and elbow.
7) But of course, an ordinary pencil will always have far better precision. I’m not sure which one is best, the wacom or the pencil. Both tools have their advantages.
