Exam+Preparation

Preparing for the Maths Exam One of the most important things is not to leave your preparation to the last minute, you need time to revise and seek assistance if it is needed. You should not be trying to find your teacher on the morning of the exam to ask for help!

The following is a guide to help you prepare for your Maths Exam

1. Complete each of the Chapter Reviews in the text book related to the topics you have studied: *Algebra - Chapter 3 *Quadratic Graphs - Chapter 9 *Probability - Chapter 10

2. As you are completing these review questions take note of the things that you find difficult or do not understand and seek help from your teacher.

3. Complete any revision sheets that you are given and again note any difficulties that you have and seek help from your teacher or from a peer. (Please see attachment at the bottom of the page.)

4. Utilise (spend some time on) the suggested interactive websites in each of the topic areas to consolidate your understanding of each of the topics.

5. Complete a practice exam under timed conditions so that you get a sense of how quickly you need to work to give yourself enough time to complete the exam.

6. Randomly select questions from the text book and create your own 'exam'. (include page references so that you are able to check your answers)

7. Make sure you know how to use your calculator - if you need to construct a set of 'how to' instructions and keep these in the back of your notes book.

8. Make sure the notes that you will take into the exam are completely up to date and contain relevant examples. If you have been absent either photocopy another students notes or create your own.

Things that probably wont help: 1. Reading through your notes. 2. Copying your notes into another book. 3. Flicking through your text book and looking at examples.
