(Year 11) Where to get practice questions for MX1? (1 Viewer)

[Patronus03]

So, I’m doing MX1 in Year 11. I tend to try and stay 2 or 3 exercises in the textbook ahead of class. But I don’t do tutoring (unlike 90% of my class since I go to a selective school). I plan to get a private tutor soon but until then - how did you study for Yr 11 MX1? I’ve got no idea where to get the harder problems to practice for exams - I don’t think Cambridge Enrichment questions will be that useful. My school’s past term 1 papers are mostly questions of topics we haven’t covered yet or probably won’t be in the test because of the new syllabus.Any thoughts on what I should do? Thanks!

Might be a "map" of which old past paper questions are applicable to the new syllabus.

Another new book is Mastering HSC Mathematics - Year 11 Extension 1 Mathematics put out by MANSW by the end of March.

Here is the website you can order from when it is released:

Yay that's me

There is considerable overlap between the new and old syllabus so you can still use parts of the old resources...

this

just look at old past papers, and find questions for topics you're doing. There's also quite a few collection of questions by topics floating around on the internet which you can use, including compilation of HSC/CSSA questions by topic.

for some of the newer topics, like pigeonhole principle for example, i'm looking at overseas books + hsc level papers for equivalent past paper questions.

Long live google!

(Dr.?) Tywebb, will you be working your magic and collecting trial papers for Year 11 of the new syllabi?
And perhaps Year 12 trial papers for Mathematics Standard 2?

They're far more helpful than textbooks!
