VCE Maths Methods is one of the most popular subjects that students undertake in the VCE. When we have interviewed our tutors and successful students, the number one piece of advice for how to do well is to do practice questions.
Check out this article where we explain why past papers are the most important way to study for an exam
The questions you practice out of your textbook are good to build the base knowledge, but they are often very different to the questions they ask in the exam. You need to be getting familiar with the style of questions they ask in exams. Obviously exams change from year to year, but VCE examiners will often re-use question formats from previous year exams.
However, you can only really start doing practice exams once you have completed the entire course. So what if you wanted to practice exam-style questions before then?
