Title: Core Statistics Resources and Excess notes
Post by: Jono_CP on June 06, 2014, 11:42:32 pm

My SAC for statistics is next week and in total I may have 50+ pages of info.

I have an abundance of organised but excess notes, e.g. they are in alphabetical order and list all the potential terms that could come up.

I also have like 30 other pages which are just specific examples of things.

My tutor told me not to waste my time refining them etc it is more so about doing the practice SACs and finding out what the common questions are.

The alphabetical wording of definitions seems to work fine, so it is not as tedious as some people may think.

Anyone recommend to me any other specific resources (e.g. ATAR notes from previous students on Further) or just general advice.

Last SAC I over-prepared by doing too many of my own notes and not setting out the alphabetical ordering etc and thus, failed the SAC.

I need a 25+ study score as it is a potential prerequisite subject and I need to make sure I pass this one. I have been working very hard but Further maths is not my fort. I've got Further Maths exam VCAA papers (relevant sections) and ATAR notes books based on Further Maths on standby.

Any general advice would be fantastic, e.g. clarification on either preparation, maths specific terms or whatever.

Thank you!

Sounds good man.

Try memorising your material better, because you don't have much time to be referring to your notes.

Saving time could get you those last little marks in the last couple of minutes.

Also bring a highlighter to highlight key words in the question because further is one of those subjects where they try to trick you in the wording.
