Lol sorry Im a retard, I mean I should've studied more than I did, our school gave us Maths In Focus, which is fantastic for understanding concepts/basic exercises, and then used Cambridge 3unit to practice everything.

I possibly studied a bit too much for maths as alot if my other subjects like physics suffered mark-wise, if your doing extension 1 I think they recommend 1 hour per night but I did more like 1 1/2-2 hours per night and a hell of a lot on weekends. The trick is balancing your study, don't focus too much on one thing.

Not overly much, but that depends on your aptitude for maths, and how well you understand concepts. Once you understand a concept, or have seen enough examples of it, you won't "really" need to revise over and over because you know it. You will just need to brush up on things when it comes to exams.

I don't believe maths is one of those subjects that "need" a timetabled pattern of study; it's either you get the concept then move on, or you don't get it and need more and more repeated practicing of that concept. Maybe dedicate 1 hour a day to maths if you want something quantitative.

If you work consistently during your frees you won't have to do much study at home! 1-2 hrs?

Wow. I did practically no study for maths... just made sure I finished off exercises for Ext 2 (if that). Makes me feel less optimistic about the exam results now :(
