Looking at patterns in each of the exams. For instance, EVERY YEAR (except for maybe one or two years) they've asked a question on capture, re-capture.

Going through the last major questions of each exam (normally its Q. 28). Its always the question that stumps every general student, the question that requires the most 'freestyling' in your answers (and was my weakest area in trials :/).

Basically, going in with a logical and clear mind. 2hrs 30 minutes is enough time to be going through each question being careful not to make silly mistakes.

I'm rank 1/52 with average of 95%. Dropped from 2-unit in Year 12. Aiming for Band 6 with 95+ just to keep average up. Hoping for state rank so fingers crossed.

Still can't get over the ambiguity of the present and future value annuity questions. It's a comprehension test (a hard one at that) and it's annoying af lulz.

Anyone know a decent way to differentiate between them when they're somewhat ambiguous?

Generally the questions will say 'So and so has to save...' or 'So and so borrows...'

Thats how you differentiate between the two.

Future value - Saving up
Present value - Borrowing

I'm actually so retarded at maths when it comes to money. Everything else is sweet but as soon as i start seeing dollar signs my brain turs to absolute mush!

I was just wondering, when working out credit card intrest to you include the day they bought the item AND the day they paid in the calculation? Or is it just one or the other?

I made myself a little summary sheet of things that are not on the formula sheet that would be good to remember and thought I would share in case it is useful for anyone else. My handwriting and drawing is not great but hopefully someone finds it helpful

sweet thanks a lot dude how's your studying going along?

Been doing past papers and multiple choice is the only thing that is frustrating

Pretty good, I'm averaging 93-95% in past papers under exam condiditions so if I get a similar result in the exam I will be really happy. I actually love multiple choice for maths I do it in about 10 minutes so I have more time for the other questions. What are you finding frustrating?

I did 2012 past paper and got 83/100

Its not frustrating, I sometimes miss the key concepts of the question leading to choosing the wrong answer

It takes me good 20 mins to do MC
