VCE General Maths EXAM TRAPS: Student Survival Guide

Knowing the maths is only part of the equation.

You know the maths. So why are you still losing marks?

This book focuses on the small but costly mistakes that can turn a seemingly correct answer into a lost mark -

the traps that can catch you even when you know how to do the maths.

Take a look inside

Here's a real example of the kinds of traps covered in the book - where a response can seem perfectly reasonable but still lose a mark, and what to do instead.

What's included?

• 100 pages of VCE General Maths exam traps, examples, strategies and checklists.
• Common traps that catch students in SACs and exams.
• Examples of responses that lose marks and exactly why.
• Full mark responses showing what examiners are looking for.
• Practical strategies for reading, interpreting and answering questions.
• Checklists to use while you're working through questions.
• 24 additional print friendly pages containing all the examples and final checklist, formatted for easy black and white printing.

The aim is simple...

Stop giving away marks you already know how to earn.

Designed specifically for VCE General Maths Students in VIC, Australia.

Written by Robyn, an experienced VCE Maths and Chemistry tutor with over 10 years' experience and a PhD in Engineering.

Robyn created the book after seeing how often students lose marks on small, fixable mistakes that have little to do with the maths itself. A student can know how to do the maths and still lose a mark because of how they have interpreted, communicated or presented their answer.

Use it alongside your classwork and when working through textbook questions and practice exams. Keep the checklist close, especially when you're preparing for the real thing.
