As exams approach, students are encouraged to focus on building confidence through consistent practice and understanding key concepts. Maths success comes from doing, not just reading — so students should aim to practise problems daily, review errors, and connect new ideas to what they already know.

Specific Maths Revision Tips:

  • Review key formulas: Revise and practise using area, volume, and trigonometry formulas — don’t just memorise them, understand when to apply each.
  • Algebra accuracy: Check brackets, signs, and like terms carefully when simplifying or solving equations.
  • Graphs and relations: Practise sketching straight-line, quadratic, and exponential graphs; know how to find intercepts and turning points.
  • Trigonometry practice: Revise SOH CAH TOA and angle of elevation/depression problems.
  • Units and conversions: Always include correct units and convert consistently in measurement and finance questions.
  • Show full working: Write clear, logical steps to earn method marks.
  • Simulate the exam: Complete at least one past paper under timed conditions and review every mistake.
