Title: Summary book or practice exams?
Post by: Wat0034 on August 25, 2012, 07:41:17 pm
I'm a year 11 doing further and PE, I've completely the years work for both and wondering which would be more beneficial out of a summary book or starting practice exams? Thanks

While most people on here would go into an exam without a bound reference (or would just take in a pre-bought book or a textbook), I would personally find this dilemma a tough one. I started my bound reference from day 1 and it currently holds 80 pages of notes in it. I probably won't even need to use it during the exams, but I know that if there is a tricky question that my bound reference will cover the situation. All I know is that if I started my bound reference now, it would not contain as much detail in it.

For you, I think it's more important you start getting some trials under your belt. However, there are particular things which you will need in your bound reference for the exam (eg the 68-95-99.7 rule).
