After practising the book a little bit second assessment mark sky-rocketed by double. I got 8/30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

some people look through past papers and try to find trends - e.g. if there was a big trig question last year they think it would be unlikely that trig would be tested like that again so they focus their study on other stuff. however this method is really risky and i wouldnt recommend it.

If you're doing crappy at maths, you can do better by doing TONS of practise. Practise ensures you understand how concepts in maths work. There is no other way to get better marks. It's time consuming but if you want to do well then do it. The best way is to do extra exercises and past HSC papers (or at least the questions that are relevant to whatever you're learning).

*700 pages of past papers later* Wow, you're right.

It inflates with the ego.

I actually did a new count. And if you include the pps I did in my schoolbooks as well as the books dedicated to past papers, it breaks 700.

But since maths is a course which builds upon previous years you get to add all paper that you did through primary and high school
