I ammmm! Umm, I'm hoping to do the holiday homework from school, which is chapter 1 of the Heinemann book and then go on to do another chapter or so, just to be ahead of the class.

I'm doing CAS in 2010, bought my textbook a while ago now, (Maths Quest 12 CAS), may get started on it at the start of the new year, I am hoping to very briefly go over the basics of each area of study, that way when it comes to learning it, I can expand my knowledge, plus I'm only aiming for a 36-38 maybe scrape in a 40 with an extreme amount of preparation. But still a 38, should suffice.
-
I'm doing it next year and have only started doing my holiday homework. However I plan to probably complete the first chapter or two of our textbook. (Maths Quest 12)
Might also start thinking about my bound reference.
-
Will be doing the homework sheets given to us.
Also plan to do first 5 or so chapters of Essentials which encompassess basic algebra and functions. If im really enjkoying it i might go further. Depends i guess.
-
I'll be doing it! I think that we have to do the first 4 chapters or so for school, but I've done a lot of uni level maths for the physics olympiad preparation, so that probably counts as problem solving and calculus practise.
-
I'm doing it.
We didn't get any holiday homework, but I'm going to finish the Essential text before school starts. Up to chapter 6 now.
-

agreed, alot of ppl (not just pros) have a stong feeling about an answer and if its correct or not
if it feels right there is a good chance it is right lol
-
I used Essentials; it has got some mistakes too. I just clarified (in ambiguous cases) with a teacher if I suspected an answer to be wrong or if it was blatantly incorrect, I'd make a marking at the back of the book. There will always be wrong answers because someone else does the answers to the questions and one must account for the fact that they will make mistakes :P

Doing Methods CAS here, trying to learn the course over holidays and planning on getting a tutor throughout the year.
-
DOing text book questions and revising units 1&2 are good ideas. but what would be even more awesome is to find out an overview of everything in methods 3&4. Find a checklist so that you know exactly what you will be doing and what you won't be doing.
there's a checklist you can download here.
