Ok, I suck at maths simply b/c I have nooooo idea how to study for it.
I know as much as you don't just do heaps of questions...but I'm stuck in a studying rut and need a little inspiration from you all, on your maths study techniques...

thanks.

I havent even started studying for maths - I'm stuck in a rut with ancient history.

I'm a last minute kind of person anyway, if I revise early I forget things....I have an awful memory. I usually go through the fitzpatrick books and make sure I know all the topics - I hardley do any questions in the exercise book though. I just check off every topic and revise the ones I forgot, then I put everything away and do past papers.

I hope a week is going to be enough to study for 2u and 3u maths because thats the amount of time I've put aside in my mental timetable.

I just read through my (3) 128 page Math workbooks, and try to understand what I wrote... Binominal Theorem... *Shudder*.

Try out some past papers, especially last year's one, the projectile question... *shudder*.

We're all gonna die!

i hate projectile motion.... probably because i don't understand physics.

i used to hate parametrics but i got full marks on the question in my trial, so it's now amongst my better 3u topics! :)

I dropped physics only to have it come back at me with a vengeance in maths?

Practice past exam/trial q from topics u arent confident with AND consult with solutions to those questions, pointless doing them question wrongly, or using a horribly inefficient method over and over again.

But most imprtantly sleep well before the exam...

what you couldnt do in 3 weeks of stuvac, u couldnt possibly make up in 1 or 2 late nights... freaking out with a fresh brain is alot better than freaking out with a dead brain
