Relevant Exam Questions for 2017

Hey,
So I know that some of my teachers for other subjects have gone back over past exams and worked out irrelevant questions as per the 2017 Study Design and was wondering whether anyone has been supplied/is willing to share the same resource for methods?
Thanks in advance  :)

Most of the content in past exams is relevant to the current study design. The things you should avoid would be any linear approximation questions, and some of the probability questions where they ask you for the long term probability. Everything else should be relevant.
Edit: A lot of the questions which involve probability trees also can't be done in the current study design

methods is one subject where the vast majority (95%+) of the past exams can be done using the current study designs knowledge.

Probably the most important thing is to be aware that you will only find statistics questions on the 2016 exam or really old exams i.e. 1999 and before i think :P

Click on any subject and go down the bottom. It should be there.

I wouldn't recommend that as pre 2006 VCAA exams are under a different study design and may contain q's that are non relevant.

correct E6P except for methods pre 2006 has been removed :/

You should ask your teacher whether they have those exams as every school should have them. If not you'll have to find someone who has those exams.

pre 2006 (2000-2005) was a study design period and I think basically all those questions are possible to do from knowledge inside the current study design :)

Just don't do modulus, related rates, matrices in probability, or linear approximation for probability.  (Modulus is the one with the vertical lines (absolute value function) , and the graph usually has a sharp point at y=0,  related rates is an application of the chain rule)
