Hey... im currently in yr 10doing the accelerated course and IVE RUN OUT OF QUESTIONS TO DO!!!!! Ive completely finished maths in focus (both yr 11 and 12 whihch were both too easy) and I dont want to do the Past HSC paper Q's just yet (as i want to do them each as a whole test and time myself)... Should i buy another textbook just for the sake of more and harder Q's and if so which one? BTW ive found this book on the internet does anyone know about it:

Have you got all the questions right though?

If you got 105 in CSSA paper as you already mentioned, there must have been questions that you couldn't do. Go through all the questions you have done and see if you can do all of them. I really suggest yellow Fitzpatrick book, mate. It has all the questions with dfferent level. If you can do all the questions and get them all right, 110+ in HSC is yours.

By the way, that book you posted up is pretty good too.

As if you have run out of questions!

I dont understand why you dont want to do past papers. There are 12 years of past papers on the board of studies website + you can find past papers all the way back to the late 1970's if you really want to. So 30 exams, 3 hours each equals 90 hours of questions.

If you really dont want to do past HSC papers, go to the resources page and get some past HSC trials.

They are much more beneficial than doing questions from books, as you get a feel for exam-style question. Plus, maths in focus isnt the best textbook (ie the questions are much easier than HSC and trial questions), so you are better off seeing the level of HSC questions.

Lolll... the thing is i literally lost 4 marks in questions 5,6,7,8,9,10 (losing the three marks in section 10 and 1 in section 8) and stupidly losing 13 marks in section 1,2,3,4.... i actually stupidly lost marks in the first question as i didnt even see one of the parts...

Then looking over the questions where you can possible make mistakes seems like a good idea.

My friend was like you too. He is a genius mathematician but he only got 110 (in comparison to his potential). He made many stupid mistakes but he knew everything.

Have you done the CSSA questions sorted by topic?

If not, go to the resources page and at the bottom of the general section for maths there are 3 files.

I dont know about the 2 unit ones, but the 3 and 4 unit ones are pretty decent in asking harder questions.

Yeah, I did both 2 Unit and 3 Units. Both are awesome and quite challenging at the same time.
