Preparation for Extension 1 Maths (1 Viewer)

[HoldingOn]

Hi,
I'm looking to start the 3 unit/ 2 unit course these long holidays. I have the Cambridge Ex 1 book however it doesn't follow the structure of the prelim syllabus. Was wondering where to start or just to work my way through the book?

Just use one textbook to learn stuff (recommend fitzpatrick) and do a few questions in each exercise to learn it then past papers if you want to solidify.

If you only have the cambridge ext 1 book I'm pretty sure chapters 1 -3 are all your Term 1 content stuff and that's plenty to work through the holidays. If you manage to finish that you're doing pretty good for preparation.

Thanks. I have the MIF book as well- however I have not heard great things about it.

mif is only good if you need that foundation or your self learning

Use Fitzpatrick, really good

Yeah it has a bit of content incorrect.

I have started the first few chapters of the Cambridge EXT 1 Textbook, however, I feel like my school's course content isn't gonna start off with such high difficulty , would Fitzpatrick be a better alternative option for now?? Also, thoughts on previewing by using Excel's EXT 1 Textbook?

Definately start with fitzpatrick perhaps MIF

I think just use one textbook and don't do every question, just do a few so you know what the content is. Once you know do past papers asap because that's the stuff that actually relates to exams.

and if your teacher is a wanker and tells you to do the entire textbook exercise, completely ignore them. Do enough that you understand the concept, then like Pikachu said, move onto past papers.
