TIPS FOR FURTHER

[ayesha2011t]

Hi guys, I'm sitting the further exam this year and was wondering if anyone had any tips to share.

Also I had a few additional questions which I was hoping could be answered here.
-when should I start doing past vce exams?
-is there anyway that I can see a template of a bound reference?
-if my cohort does bad, does it affect my stuff score?

Thank you in advance guys!

yo man all of this stuff has been answered, look at the further maths board. I know peanut butter wrote a pretty good guide (although i dont 100% agree with everything he says, most of it is extremely helpful and is bound to get you a good mark) --
but yeah man just look through everything you could possibly need is there fam

As for personal advice:
I started exams the moment I finished learning the content. I actually recommend doing some revision before this, though. You'd see a lot better scores to start with. Generally speaking I was two weeks ahead of my class. I started with doing one set a week, then closer to exams I started doing one or one set a day. There's probably bound reference templates somewhere. Given there's a new study design, I'd advice against using anyone else's system or old notes because they're outdated. Maybe check out notes, and not just further's. Even if you don't do methods or spesh, you might see a structure you like more from those. You won't be affected by your cohort's performance if you're ranked 1 (highest SAC average, across unit 3 and 4). Otherwise, it's likely your results will be moderated.
