What supplementary books should an international student read?

Hi guys,
So recently, I've got my scholarship for Year 11-12 in VIC It's really awesome. But here's the thing, I'm that kind of person who always wants to know the ins and outs bout sth first before heading towards them, so I did my research on VCE curriculum and ATAR on my own. Although I haven't decided other subjects yet, I think I'm opting for FM and MM.
That leads to my question today, cause I'm not allowed to fly to Australia until end of next January, but I don't wanna sit here not preparing for the time ahead. So can you guys suggest me some titles (NOT textbooks) on MM (I found FM super easy so....)? Maybe about Functions and Calculus?
Tks

I suggest Paul's Online Notes. His Algebra and Calculus I classes go through a lot of content similar to the functions, algebra and calculus areas of study of mathematical methods. They go into a little more depth, and miss on some of the stuff discussed in methods, but otherwise they're pretty close and a very good study resource for later on, too.

Thank you for your answer. I checked them out and they're really good stuffs. I'm reading his Calculus class. But how can I test my understanding on these things that I've read about? There aren't many exercises on the source you gave me, and most do not have keys. Thanks again

Go online and google for "Guichard - Single Variable Calculus" - it's a free ebook but beware - it includes Specialist and Methods knowledge and even more, so unless you're like me you will want to pick specific chapters to read.
The questions aren't the type you'll get in exam (they are more like 'solve this', 'differentiate this', 'find this' which you get in uni) whereas the Methods exam will give you situations like "water is poured into a cup" and stuff that needs interpretation. They're fine for testing knowledge though!
