Does anyone know of any particular Specimen Paper/Past Paper Trials books [Not HSC 1981 onwards] with solutions [don't have to be worked, but they do need proofs/explain questions]... other than Coroneos. Publisher would also be helpful.

Also curious where I can buy 4U 1967-1981 past papers with solutions.

Thanks.

I am wondering why you want 1967-1981, as far as I know the syllabus underwent a pretty substantial change early 1980's.

 

[Estel]

In 1980 there was a substantial change. But for 3U, my teacher gave probability q's from 1967-1996 and I found they were relatively similar in style throughout the time period, so my belief is that 1967-1981 4U papers would be useful, particularly if arranged by topic, if only for some of the topics.

papers for the era were available from buchanan

 

[Estel]

No solutions tho =/

 

[Rorix]

yeah, its not like you could just ask on BoS for the questions you couldnt do

 

[Estel]

It's not like I want to post here lnt(tan(-1)x) everytime and other assorted easy questions to make sure I get them right
I have a disturbing habit of getting some simple q's wrong... =/

 

[:: ck ::]

dun bother the sylabus has changed quite a lot

theres a lot of crap in those papers u wont understand

 

[Estel]

Well it doesn't hurt to buy them if they're out there somewhere....
there's a distinct lack of material for 4U...
I can't find a sizeable amount of past papers with solutions anywhere =/

 

[Estel]

As I read this, is see on my right 4 shelves-full of resources (including about 4000 papers, 2000 of which come with solutions), and on my left a scanner.

Am I tempted to scan and upload for you?

No.

My website will suffice.

If you want solutions on the net, do them yourself and upload them.

You learn by doing.

Reading somebody else's solution will teach you nothing.

You're website is brilliant for practicing 150 Q7-8's and shoving em for the teacher to mark... but when it comes to solid Q1 integration practice, Q2 complex numbers practice, Q3-6 polynomials + conics + mechanics + graphs practice....
I must learn how to walk first...
I don't need solutions... I only need answers for confirmation

 

[Estel]

the course was much better back then (1966-1980).

but then the do-gooders and would-be-if-they-could-be "experts" took over and watered it down.

the objection the board of studies has about older papers being on the net, is that when you compare them with more recent papers, it clearly shows that standards have deteriorated.

hmm...
isn't the course hard enough as is?

*sigh* apparently not...
