I back score every tileAs Antonio says, break 10-20mm from the tile edge.
Also helps (with "sensitive" tiles) if you nudge the tile away a few mm up from the measure bar before breaking.
And make sure there are no bits of rubbish under the tile, clogging up the spring beds in that area.
I also find that on longer tiles, a little backward score - say 50mm, before scoring forwards can help a clean break.
It seems many /most do.I back score every tile
