Study Tips
- 1
Memorize key formulas by using them repeatedly, and know exactly which ones are provided on the formula sheet.
- 2
After solving a problem, check your answer by substitution or estimation to catch sign and arithmetic errors.
- 3
Do practice problems every day — math is learned by doing, not by re-reading notes.
- 4
Review class notes within 24 hours of each lesson — quick review dramatically improves retention.
- 5
Use homework as diagnostic practice: redo any problem you got wrong until it feels easy.
Past Exam Questions
Define the key terms involved in Points, Lines & Planes and state any formula or rule you would use, explaining what each symbol represents.
A problem involves Logic & Proof. Set it up carefully, solve it showing every step of your working, and check that your answer is reasonable.
Prove or justify a general result relating to Congruent Triangles, then apply it to a specific case and interpret what the result means in context.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ✕
Dropping negative signs and misapplying the order of operations under time pressure.
- ✕
Memorizing procedures without understanding when to use them — exams disguise familiar problems in new contexts.
- ✕
Skipping steps in working, which throws away method marks when the final answer is wrong.
