Hi Jamon!
Went to your lecture on Monday Morning, really really worthwhile ( as were all of them ) travelling from Albury!
Anyway, i have trials in a month, and i am wondering what are the main year 11 topics i need to make sure i have down pat for maths?
Thanks so much
Hey Tessy! I definitely agree with Rui, you should be familiar with all Prelim topics!
that being said, there are some that are particularly important so that you can access the HSC Topics. I would argue those topics are:
- Differentiation and Integration techniques, vital for a variety of Applications of Calculus questions, worth a solid third of your marks in any HSC exam!
- Trigonometry (to help with Trig Functions in Year 12)
- Function Theory (to help with learning about things like Logs and Exponentials)
Those are, I would argue, the main three! Definitely though, it is
all assessable, so you must familiar with all of it! And as Rui said, be careful of the often neglected topics (EG - locus, circle geometry). To gauge where you might need some work, maybe do some Chapter summaries from the Prelim Topics, or even go back and do some Year 11 Yearly exams?? Definitely worth a go to revise that old content
