Weekend Exam 2 Revision/Last minute prep
« on: November 06, 2010, 12:40:09 am »

So I know that quite a few people have done more exam 1 revision over the last week than exam 2; partly because exam 1 was more urgent, partly because 1 hour exams are more palatable, and partly because it's just plain easier.

If anyone's got some good tips for last-minute revision over the weekend, for example "must do" practice/past exams, examples of particularly tricky questions, or any little tidbits of information that might be helpful, please share.  :)

This guy did 24 exam 2s in the weekend before methods exam 2. So that's what you should do.

At the very least, do vcaa 2009 to time because it's the most recent. correct it and then work through your mistakes and practise similar questions in other exams you may have. E.g. if you stuff up on probability, go through other exams and work through the question on probability. The only two things that won't work with this is calculus and timing. If you run out of time, then pick up the multi choice section of an exam and try to knock the whole thing off in half an hour or less, without looking at your bound reference.

I've heard kilbaha 2010, insight 2010 and neap 2010 are good ones to give a go.
Also gave itute 2010 a shot, but it seemed a bit ridiculous. No MM exam will ever be that hard.

Do them exams if you also want to jump off a bridge before the methods exam, apart from Insight..
