Is it unfair of my school to refuse to provide any practice SACs??

As they want to keep it even, no one having an advantage...

It's not unfair if no-one gets the practice SACs.

It wouldn't be a disadvantage if everyone did it? Or got a copy?

why would you need a practice sac for further maths. Just do all the questions from the text book and from other resources. You'll be fine

What i noticed was that they resemble exam style questions
So if you do checkpoints for that mod, you should be fine

Alternatively, you could ask students from the Year 12 cohort before you, to give you their sacs, if you are that desperate for a practise sac.

I'm not a big fan of practice SAC for maths.. as I'm more than notorious for SCREWING THEM UP.. (I know you're reading this KeviNoobz).

Anyway, if no one receives a practice SAC I believe it's fair, but if selected students receive a practice SAC then it would not be fair.

I really don't think it's necessary. I received straight A+ for Unit 2 General Maths without Practice SACs.. but that's just me.

I reckon that actually creates more of a disadvantage, because now it might come down to who can be the most sly and get the most resources to practice with. Anyway, don't stress, a practice SAC is not essential. :)

My teacher gave us a practice SAC; the actual SAC was literally exactly the same just with different values + different data to work with. Same set out - I think the moral of this is that teachers use past SACs because they cannot be bothered writing new ones up, hence, they don't give them out to students.

I have a practice sac (compiled past exam questions) for chapters 1-3.

I could maybe scan\take photos for you?

I've got the Linear relations and functions SAC on tuesday.
But i'd appreciate any other Sacs for later reference and use.

You don't really need a practice SAC, my school never provided them either.
Just do that test at the end of every module in your textbook and do checkpoints, that's how I did it and I aced them all!
