Tuning the string pairs

Each mandolin note is played on a pair of strings tuned in unison. Tune the two strings of a pair separately, playing only one at a time, then listen to them together: if the sound wobbles, one of them is slightly off.

The mandolin is tuned exactly like the violin, so violin fingerings carry over directly.
