Past exam papers – these must be done:

Part of our preparation is to see how exam questions are worded. Working through past exams is absolutely essential

Mathematics syllabus – a list of the minimum number of topics to be examined:

www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/mathematics-advanced.html

The syllabus is a good way of checking which topics need revising – then you can do something about any problems you find – before and not after the exam

Public School Term Dates:

www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/key_dates

A good habit to adopt: use a calendar as part of your exam/revision preparation

The Internet Mathematics Library:

mathforum.org/library

Reading other ideas about mathematics exam questions always helps.

Board of Studies – this is the governing body for all education in NSW:

www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au

They have lists of important stuff – which calculators you can use – they change each year, examination rules and so on.

Later in the year, they publish the HSC timetable

Cambridge University Enrichment site:
