Title: Past APT papers
Post by: trinon on December 04, 2009, 11:44:38 am

I'm going to have to sit the APT on the 26th of February because I only scored 35 in Spec Maths. Does anyone have past APT papers or links to them so I can practice?

Ok then. Does anyone know what to expect on it besides "The APT covers Year 9-12 Mathematics, and consists of questions on: algebraic manipulation, functions, relations and graphs, differentiation, integration, vectors, and complex numbers."?

By that list, it'd basically be a combination of methods and spec questions, designed to make sure that you understand everything excellently (their fear is that someone who doesn't get 39 or above in spec hasn't really understood the course and will soon be out of depth).

Ugh. That's extremely frustrating. Basically means I'm going to have to relearn a good chuck of what I forgot during my gap year >_<. Meh, I'm sure I can do it.. I knew it fairly fucking well in year 12.

What's an APT?

Your doing a BSc(Physics), awesome! It's very rare to find people majoring in physics.
