Good sources of Methods Prac Exams

[Orb]

Hey guys, I was just wondering where you can get/buy practice exams for Methods.

I know my school gives us a booklet of around 20 but just wanted more practice!

Engage education are a good source that are free exams on the internet. I'd suggest doing those closer to the exams though.
Also TSSM are really good, don't know what your teacher is giving you, as are Neap. I'd say those are your best investments

Just trying to get all this done earlier so I don't have to spend time looking for it in term 4 or something.

hamo94 if you head to the Age Expo from the 8-11 May then you'll find lots of companies like TSFX, TSSM, Neap etc. selling practice exams for Methods! Although there's an admission fee to enter the expo (if I remember correctly it's $10) but if you ask your school then maybe they have free tickets LOL (I know my school was given roughly 20 tickets because I received one LOLOL)

And if your school gives you a booklet then you should ask what they give you in case you buy the same practice exams LOL (my school gives us 2010-2012 practice exams and not the latest ones so they can use for SACs)

Best exam practice is VCAA exams and very carefully reading the assessors' reports. Trial papers are not that great and some are just reworked VCAA papers of the previous year. Know your work. There is a limit as to how much practice exams will improve your marks.

Exam techniques is also very important. Use the reading time to first determine which questions you find the easiest, then plan your strategies for the more difficult questions, and lastly, start doing some of the questions in your head. This will save time during the exam. When you are allowed to write, do the questions you find easiest, then go back to do the more challenging ones.

At all times, keep your head. If you come across a question you can't do, don't waste too much time staring at it - get all the other questions done checking there are no silly errors.

If you are unable to do a "show that" question, use the given answer for the following questions.

Don't leave out any multiple choice questions - guess if need be.

Your teacher should be giving the same advice. Remember to use your teachers throughout the year for help. Don't allow too much time to pass between not understanding a concept and seeing your teacher. If your teacher is unavailable, ask to see another.

Good luck. Hope you enjoy the subject.

you could also ask your school for more, most schools will have more than enough but they dont give them all out so as to not overwhelm students
