Hey Guys, I just wanted to share some resources (link below) that I compiled for the Maths Extension 1 course, it covers all topics and a wide range of questions from various schools with solutions. Some of its features include: Comprehensive Set of Questions [questions spanning from 2010-2025] with all difficulties [mostly at the harder end to ensure you are thoroughly prepped] and extra resources, which have been organised into all 11 topics.
Generally, I attribute my strong results to study techniques that allowed me to minimise the time spent on study whilst maximising my learning efficiency, and I've tried to structure it in a way so that it is easy to navigate and apply some of these techniques.
Study Technique 1: Mistakes
Students tend to make silly mistakes when practising questions, assuring themselves that they will somehow manage to not make that same mistake in a test. This can be improved by implementing systems that force you to understand your mistakes and become aware, including tracking (which all the topics in this document have as a scaffold for my previous mistakes), alongside [Technique 2], to attempt a wide variety of similar questions where those mistakes could re-emerge.
Study Technique 2: Testing Yourself
A lot of times, people fall into the trap, feeling like they know how to answer a certain question by looking at the answers [recognition], but they guilt-trip themselves into thinking they understand, and therefore can't replicate the approach when faced with a different variation in a test. Instead, it's much more beneficial to re-attempt the questions [generation], as I have done on some of the harder topics in Ext 1 [3~4 pages of working], to work on truly understanding how to tackle any question.
