General Maths Advanced Trial Exams Thread

I know it's really lame to ask for GMA EXAMS, but I want to study for it now so I don't have to waste time on 1/2s when I get back to school. Cheers.

Haha exactly my thoughts. ^

Do GMA exams from external companies actually exist? Because Biology, Chem 1/2 exams do (although there aren't a whole lot of them).

I doubt there are trial exams for GMA

I doubt there are trial exams for GMA

Probably, apart from school past papers.

[wildareal]

Yes. I don't think there are any aftermarket 1/2 GMA exams like there are for Chem. I'll post my school's ones when they post them on Blackboard.

[AzureBlue]

There aren't even any 1/2 methods exams - apart from maybe one Heffernan or something. I can only find 1 for phys 1/2 as well... so they are quite scarce.

What topics have you guys covered this year in GMA?

I think the reason they don't make trial exams for GMA is because different schools cover different topics.
eg. My school chose to do Sequences and Series even though it isn't in Spesh. :S

[AzureBlue]

There are modules? Which ones?

[Andiio]

@vea, my school is also doing S + S. I find it quite useful however, even though it isn't in Spesh.

I can see how GMA puts people off Spec-the material is pretty bad-circle geometry, lot's of further stuff, etc etc. I wish there was more emphasis on Calculus, which undeniably is the bulk of the 3/4 course.

[Andiio]

I myself believe GMA to be really easy in comparison with Methods (Less careless mistakes, I guess). But that's just my 2 cents :/ And Vectors, Complex Num etc are all quite interesting.

[AzureBlue]

I thought the bulk of Specialist was calculus.

Does anyone else do GMA combined with Further 3/4? As in in the same class at school? That's what my school does, so we end up doing mostly the Further 3/4 work, even though I chose the GMA class to get ready for Speccy -.-

What textbook are you guys using for GMA?
