Is that the phoenix past paper book? If you want to do paper questions on diff topics then pick the appropriate ones out of whole papers and do them.

[withoutaface]

I'd just suggest that you go to www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au and download past papers for the last few years, pick out questions on topics you've done, and then do them.

think in maths dey can only use 20% of the preliminary stuff to put in HSC exam..
u are probably getting those "stupid mistakes" because you didn't do the stuff logically, or u didn't actually understand the topics.. u probably just remembered the method to do the questions and when u do certain questions in exam, u sometimes haven't done them appropriately, u lose marks and u think u made a "stupid mistake".

nah, seriously final fantasy, you did help alot with my learning process. Your notion of logics and not just learning methods but actually having an understanding of how it all works, which i took on board, was the main contributor to my success, so i give alot of my credit to you
