Mathematics 5.0, 5.1, 5.2


Key Mathematics Study Strategies:

1. Always revise your work daily, weekly and then do a major review one week before your exam. Use study

checklists and flash cards.

2. Once an exam is announced:

- Construct a list of topics to review

- Find specific problems for each topic on your list

- Make your list long enough to provide enough practice for mastery

- Include all types of problems and of various levels of difficulty.

3. You must master all the topics on your list before you work on any practice tests.

4. Do not expect to be able to work out very difficult problems on a test if you have not practiced working out

these kinds of problems ahead of time. do one topic at a time.

5. Take and master "practice tests" that have the same form as the actual test you are preparing for. Create

sample tests for yourself from study guides and course outline review texts that have the correct answers

listed so you can check your solutions. Test yourself often. When you can get 100% on your own difficult

tests, you are bound to do well on your exam.

6. Often speed counts on a test. You may have to practice some types of problems over and over again until

you can work them in less time.

7. Learn to recognise your math concepts, formulas or procedures in random order, that is, in a different

order than they were presented in your textbook or in class and know what is provided on any formula

sheets.

8. Remember, it is not possible to study too much for a math test. Doing more work can only help you to gain

greater mastery of your material. But do not study until the last minute and be sure to get a good night

sleep the two previous nights before your exam.

9. Analyse your homework problems, practice tests and past exams. Note the typical errors you usually make

– transcription errors, calculator errors, not reading questions thoroughly – and the types of problems that

cause you difficulty. Give yourself more practice in these areas.

The following information will help you prepare for the PASS Yearly Examination. These suggestions will assist

you in developing and undertaking a study plan to ensure that you are fully prepared.

Developing a study plan

It is important that you start to develop summaries of the topics you have studied.

For each topic students should prepare a summary.

Step 1: Gather your notes in order.

Step 2: Develop a one-page concept map for each topic. Include key words and relevant examples.

Step 3: Put your concepts maps in prominent places such as on your bedroom walls or above your desk in

your study area.

Step 4: Regularly refer to the concept maps between now and the exam in Week 4.

Working together

Organising a study group with friends can be a useful strategy in the lead-up to the exam. In these groups you

can clarify questions and test each other's' understanding of the key concepts. Talk about the key concepts in

PASS and question each other about the understanding you have of each concept. In order to prepare for this

examination students should focus their study on the following topics:

Technology, Participation and Performance

Physical Activity for Sport

Physical Fitness

Nutrition and Physical Activity

Lifestyle, Leisure and Recreation

Visual Arts


Key Visual Arts Study Strategies:

The Frames

The Conceptual Framework

Artist Practice (SPITISM)


Revise the Frames questions (structural, subjective, cultural and postmodern), understanding what each

frame analyses within artworks

Revise the Conceptual Framework, understanding how artworks tell us something about the artist and the

world they are representing through their works

Revise artist practice (use the SPITISM sheet from your Body of Work). Understand all of the different

components that are included within an artist’s practice (ie. Style, process, influences, themes, ideology,

signs and symbols, materials)
