With a bound reference, it is not really about using it in the exam, it is about the process of making one. Making a bound reference helps alot with revision and will help you more than actually using it in an exam.

Disagree, there are better ways to revise than making a bound reference.

That's very true! If I compile one, then I would know everything there is to know without constantly referring back to the exam, save time, reduce pressure!

True, exams are the most valuable tool for revision but with a bound reference, it is probably too late to make a large one so you could, after doing some practice exams, make a bound reference 10-20 or so pages long with your most common errors or worsts topics. A bound reference can also give peace of mind leaving you calm and ready for the exam.

Yes, but at this time of year try not to spend a big chunk of valuable exam revision time making notes and bound references for maths. Exams are the key, use errors or gaps in your understandings of concepts from doing practice exams to help compile a short bound reference.

It's stupid. I was planning to make a bound refence (sitll am maybe). But for all my SACS iw as ONLY allwoed to bring in TEXTBOOK. Gee's, shouldn't school be encouraging us to make a bound reference? In year 10, we created as a class a summary book to get us into the habit for tests.

I complained, and the teachers like "by making a bound reference it disadvantages other students."

I don't give a crap about other students. If i'm a lazy person who cbf about maths or making a bound reference, why should people like myself be stopped form making a bound reference.

My point being, it has sort of made it difficult to create a whole bound reference now, having to go through the extensive chapter on core data.

Late? Theres a lot of time left. Anything is possible!!

lol. true. I only wrote that because I was in an angry state of mind atm. LOL. Now common sense has prevailed.

But I guess it would be a GREAT revision tool, because I have to go through my SACS page by page and my textbook and workbook.

I personally don't find exams THAT helpful, because you need a teacher to correct it, you make a mistake and you probably won't remember to not make the same mistake again. And also, the biggest let down is, exam questions are NEVER repeated again. Some may be similar, but they are difefrent. So going through an exam from 2006 for example is pretty pointless. I have seen some exams which have changed considerably from one year to the next in terms of difficulty.

Still okay for revision i guess.
