Title: Almost finished course, what to do
Post by: rebeckab on July 24, 2012, 06:26:12 pm

We have three more exercises to go through and then we're finished the course, what should I start doing to prepare for the exams? I've been doing checkpoints everyday over the past week, and I have a rough bound reference, but I think I'll do a new one once I've done a few practice exams and know what I really need in there. Any other advice?

Same, here. How have you gone for your SACs throughout the year? If you ask me then I've done badly (I don't rank that well). But I am determined to ACE the exam to make it up.

I've gotten 100% for every SAC, but I don't really think they've been all that hard.. I still have two more to go though I think. I'm ranked first equally with one other girl, but they'll probably scale down when it comes to VCAA unless I ace the exam.. which I don't know how I'll go with, that's why I'm starting now :)

Are you going to do exam style questions like checkpoints, or just go straight into practice exams?

go back and do the extended response questions from the chapter reviews if you were lazy and skipped most of them like me.

I would, but my teacher collects all our chapter reviews to check up on where we're out, and to make sure we're setting out our solutions nicely etc, so I've actually done them all..
