Best SAC preparation?
« on: March 27, 2010, 02:30:38 pm »

I've done every question out of our textbook (Heinamenn) then most of the Essentials textbook as well.
But then walking into our sac yesterday, there was at least 4 multiple choice questions I had to guess!

Like I think my grasp on the concepts is decent but whenever I do an exam/sac the questions are ALWAYS different...I was wondering if there's a good book to help you prepare?

I've got heaps of resources off VCENOTES and its pretty good, but sometimes its hard to find the exact topic your school is doing (e.g ours was Vectors+Complex Nos.) I'm thinking of picking up Checkpoints and NEAP (I got the A+ book), but from my Physics NEAP/Checkpoints, they are a bit more exam preparation based, plus, again, its not in the same order as our school.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

0.o All I do is Essentials textbook and Checkpoint questions, you don't really need anything else. The thing is, exam/SAC questions are meant to be different, however all you need to do them is knowledge of the underlying principles (which is obtained by doing the textbook questions); you don't need to have done a similar question before in order to do it in the exam/SAC.

You have more than enough resources. It's about how well you develop you understand rather than how many resources you have access to or how many questions you do.

Your SAC's will probably have exam tailored questions which your teachers will put on them since kids will do all the questions from the textbook, like you. So I suggest doing them. Also allows you to do more practice for exams now (obviously) but also allow you to do questions from different sources later since you've done them earlier.

=/ My Spesh teacher told us that SAC-style questions are different from exam style-question. For example, you can't really get a massive proof question on the exam since exams test breadth, but you can on a SAC (we had to prove that 3 particular lines were concurrent and find the position vector of the intersection of all three lines >.<)
