i think newbie is at selective!
over97, you gotta grab every textbook and do questions. Scab papers off other schools.
hehe notetaking nah doent work..
i stick posters in maths formulas over my wall. yes its really helps..

Go full on past papers!!!
Its the best way... (refer to books for concepts etc that you don't understand)
Tryin do as many as u can from now till the hsc
Its good to make a list of formulas too
Good luck...
Algebra, Calculus, Algebra, Caluclus, Algebra Calculus. you get the gist I hope
Most of the time when you can't do a question is because you're eitehr stuck on algebra or made a mistake with your differentiation.
solving and factorizing polynomials (esp quadratics)
typical expansions (difference of squares cubes etc etc)
Trig identities VERY IMPORTANT
Understand and apply differentiation rules, especially the chain rule (function of a function)
The you brief through the concepts.... Geometry is a bit annoying . also probability. It's more practice for these topics.
Coordinate geometry (locus etc) is easy once you got your algebra and calculus straight. only things you should need to remember from those sections are:
distance (just's pythagoras' theorem)
gradient
formula of line given point and slope or 2 points.
midpoint
division in general ratios
Changing quadratics to standard form for parabola.
Further apps of calculus.. if you have the basics right, this should be easy section. go through SHM, and the ways to express acceleration.
Practice papers are good for refining your exam techniques and boosting confidence, but save that after learning from the textbook.

id prefer not to say...but lets just say its a non-selective, non-private, non-catholic, non-grammer, regular state school in the hunter valley...but it is a really good school for this area.
