English is done and Maths is next but you’ve only got a week to figure out your best plan of attack. This is why we’ve created a 7 day HSC Advanced Maths study plan to help you keep on track!
Depending on how long you originally intended to spend on maths, this guide is designed for you to study around 3-4 hours of AdvancedMathsa week out from your exam.
We know that you will have other subjects too, which is why some areas are marked as ‘optional’ — it’s up to you to spend that little while longer if you so feel.
So, what are you waiting for? Let’s get started!
Day 1: Know Thy Enemy
Day 2, Day 3 and Day 4: Review the Content
Day 5: Complete a Practice Paper
Day 6: Complete Another Practice Paper
Day 7: Final Revision
Day 1: Know thy Enemy
在修改之前，您需要知道要修改的内容; there’s no point going over stuff you know really真的同时忽视了你几乎不知道ab的东西out.
#1: Identify Your weaknesses
Throughout the year, you should have familiarised yourself with the Advanced Mathematics syllabus, which you can find这里.
Go through each dot point and then on a scale of 0 to 5, rate yourself on your perceived level of knowledge and understanding.
0 =I know nothing about this dot point and unless I study, I am totally screwed
5 =我知道这个点回到前面 - 我要杀死这次考试！
This should take you about 10 minutes. When you’re done, it should look something like this:
#2: Ensure your notes correspond with the syllabus
Spend about 45 minutes going through the syllabus.Make sure that your notes accurately describe what is in the syllabus.
As you’re moving through, pay particular attention to areas that you rated less than 4 in your understanding and knowledge.
Using your maths textbook, go through questions next to the syllabus.
If you can’t figure out how to come to an answer within 5 seconds, highlight it.We’ll be filling them in next!
#3: Start filling in the gaps
现在，您已经确定了自己的弱点，以及笔记中的差距，花了2个小时浏览您的教科书以进行理论。
As you’re going through,find 5 questions associated with that section in your textbook and solve them. Mark them.
For some questions, if you do not understand them,Wolfram Alphacan give you a step-by-step solution to help you understand the concept.
Action Points:
- 通过您的课程提纲and do aself-rating of your understandingof the topics from 0 to 5
- 确保您的学习笔记涵盖了教学大纲和薄弱区域— do a quick self test with questions from your textbook on the areas you identified yourself as weak
- 从您的每个薄弱领域中查找教科书中的5个问题，并完成问题, mark them, and then make sure you understand how to get to the solution
第二天,第三天,第四天:审查内容
Your HSC builds on your Prelim topics, so it’s probablya good idea to know your prelim content as well as your HSC content.
For the next three days, you will focus on the subtopics of the syllabus to practise on. This means you’llfocus on the right hand side column of your syllabus:
Complete textbook review exercises
Depending on what textbook you’re using for the HSC, it might be an excellent idea togo to your local library and loan out a剑桥数学2单元12年教科书and start working through the exercises with your study notes.
您的学习课程应该像这样：
| 会议 | Sub-Topic | 学习时间 |
|---|---|---|
| 会议1： | 使用功能 | 25 mins, 5 mins break |
| 会议2： | Trigonometry and measure of angles | 25 mins, 5 mins break |
| 会议3： | Trigonometric Functions and Identities | 25 mins, 15 mins break |
| 会议4： | Introduction to Differentiation | 25 mins, 5 mins break |
| 会议5: | Logarithms and exponentials | 25 mins, 5 mins break |
| 会议6: | REVISION | 25 mins, 5 mins break |
Once you’ve finished a set, mark them.突出显示您不正确的方法 - 在“修订”会议中进行同样的问题。
If you still don’t understand a concept, you should check out ourHSC数学的免费视频资源，可以根据教学大纲，Dot Point的Dot Point来解释数学概念，此处！
Action Points:
- 将您的课程提纲出去divvy up which topics you will cover over the next 3 days
- On each daycomplete the textbook review questions for the topics you’ve identified, focussing especially on areas you rated yourself weak in
- Go over the questions and mark them, highlighting any you got incorrect— flag these for study in your ‘REVISION’ session
Day 5: Complete a Practice Paper
You’re already more than halfway through your Advanced Maths study plan! Keep going, you got this.
给自己20分钟以修改所有笔记with the complete focus that you would have before the actual exam. Use it togo over the things you don’t think you’ll remember in your exam.
Check out our past papers for HSC Maths这里and print one out! Then establish exam conditions: complete silence with no disturbances for the next three hours.
Why do this? Because you aregetting yourself ready for the practical aspects of the exam and dealing with time management and attention span.
As you do the exam, if you absolutely can’t do a question, or do not understand it, mark the question with a highlighter.
Mark the paper
When you’re done, take a break. Then get to marking! You can find the marking guidelines这里。
Use the following rating when you’re marking:
- 愚蠢的错误（SM）
- Did not know answer (DNA)
- 误解了问题(MQ)
- 不正确的知识（IK）
This way, you know how and why you got a question incorrect.
如果您的收入不到70％，则可能需要做更多的修订. Identify your weak and strong points once more, and do practice questions on them.
Solve the incorrect answers
Depending on how many questions you got incorrect, use your notes to solve the questions you could not do, or got incorrect. Make sure that you really get to the root of the issue by understanding exactly where you went wrong.
Action Point:
- 修改笔记，专注于您认为您仍在挣扎的领域
- Complete a past paper in exam conditions
- Mark the paper, rating why you got particular questions incorrect
- If you’re scoring less than 70%, go back to revision with textbook review questions for this topic
- 解决您不正确的任何问题
Day 6: Complete Another Practice Paper
#1: Make yourself a formula sheet
Imagine you had to write your own formula sheet to bring into the exam, and it could only be one page long, and by one page, I mean with content only allowed on one side of the paper.
Write yourself a formula sheet, and be very discreet about what you put on it. This will force you to think about what content you are still a little bit unsure about (NOTE: Consider what you got wrong on the last paper — it may help you now!).
＃2：另一篇论文
The more papers you do, the more you are familiarising yourself with what they will be asking you in the actual exam.
In the same way you did yesterday, print out anotherpast paperand do it under exam conditions — only this time, use the formula sheet to help you.
如果您使用公式表完成了一个问题，则您无法没有它，请标记。再次，突出显示您不知道或无法回答的任何东西。
#3: Mark it!
现在，要标记您的论文。像昨天一样，使用相同的评论系统标记您的论文：
- Silly mistake
- Did not know answer
- 误解了问题
- Incorrect knowledge
This time, if you’re getting any less than 80%, you should definitely consider doing some more study.
#4: Solve the incorrect answers
Depending on how many questions you got incorrect, use your notes to solve the questions you could not do, or got incorrect. Make sure that you really get to the root of the issue by understanding exactly where you went wrong.
Action Points:
- Create a 1 page formula sheet — this will act as revision for all the key formulas. See if you can do it from memory.
- Do another past paper in exam conditions
- Mark the exam paper, using the rating system
- 得分不到80％？回去做更多有关这些主题的教科书修订问题
- Redo any questions you got incorrect until you solve them correctly!
Day 7: Final Revision
我们终于在您的HSC高级数学学习计划的最后一天 - 最后的时间！Revise each syllabus dot point and conduct a self-rating.
You should hopefully have seen a huge improvement since Day 1!
Now, create a hit list of the topics you’ve rated yourself the lowest on.
| Subtopic | Rating |
|---|---|
| Differential Calculus | 3 |
| Random Variables | 3 |
| Trigonometric Functions | 2 |
Conduct a Q&A session across the syllabus focussing on weak areas
从您在上面的热门列表中写下的主题开始，浏览列表HSC数学过去的论文and identify any questions that relate to these topics.
Practise completing these questions.
Once you’ve completed these, move to the rest of the syllabus and pick 1-2 questions per topic area from the past HSC papers and complete it.
Mark your work and fix your mistakes
标记您完成的问题，然后专注于您发现的问题。
修复它们，确保您已经记住了再次回复它们的过程。
Go through a past paper in fast forward
现在，浏览过去的最后一篇论文！Complete it in fast forward, so don’t worry about proper working out.
Just identify the following:
- The formula you would use
- The steps you would take
- Can you answer it or not?
If you cannot answer it, spend some time solving it to make sure you can get it correct!
Action Points:
- Revise each syllabus point and conduct a self rating, writing a hit list of trouble topics
- Conduct a Q&A session focussing on your weak topics, using past HSC questions to test yourself
- Mark your work and fix any mistakes making sure you’ve memorised the process
- Complete one final past paperin fast forward, identifying the formula, steps and whether you can solve each question
Remember that they can only ask the same question so many ways so if you can get used to the past paper, they can’t blindside you in the exam!
And that wraps up our 7 day HSC Advanced Maths study plan! Good luck with your exam!

卡莱布理发师feels that one of his biggest achievements in high school was that he did Year 12 in 2012. Not able to decide on one thing that he wanted to do, he decided to go to university and become a teacher so that he could have an excuse to keep learning everything. So he moved from Nambucca Heads to Sydney and is now half way through an education degree at the University of Sydney. Caleb still sometimes feels like the country lad lost in the city. He is a coach of Mathematics and English with the Art of Smart and loving every minute of it.
