[AAHL] (Unit Test v2.4) Vectors

-
Image
Hiya! Lines and planes can be complex, can't they? On today's test we'll start with a standard on basics of vectors and the dot/cross products, equations of lines and planes and simultaneous equations. Obviously, HK is making an appearance here as the exams have  really good  simultaneous equations questions.  The actual test isn't gonna be this easy lmao Standard 2 is a time crunch.  Budget your time accordingly - if you're after that 7, you gotta speed up at the other standards.  If you're looking for more personalised support, don't hesitate to reach out and complete the form !

[AASL] Survival Paper A8

-
Hiya! The Survival Papers made a comeback! In the run up to finals, I'll be posting Survival Papers biweekly. These papers follow the same content as the Survival Guide , intended to be more accessible than the Booster Papers and the mock exams, with the main purpose of helping students securing a 5 on their externals. This test covers various topics from the entire course. There's a question on sectors, sequences and distributions. 7 questions, 50 marks, 50 minutes, with a heavier emphasis in section A where many students get more of their marks from. Mark your work using the MS and use the Scoring Guide to track your progress.

[AAHL][AASL] (Unit Test v2.4) Sequences and series

-

Hiya! Welcome to another unit test on sequences and series. General sequences/series, arithmetic and geometric series. (The first standard is not officially part of the course - except the sigma notation - but it builds the foundation for sequences and series at the end of the course and in uni.)    Three standards, the usual time crunch applies. No calc. If you're looking for more personalised support, don't hesitate to reach out and complete the form ! I'm @adventurousandrew on Discord.   AAHL: AAHL MS: AASL: AASL MS: Andrew

[AAHL] (Unit Test v2.4) Complex numbers

-

Hiya! DP2 has already started for most of you, and what's better than starting the year with complex numbers! (but seriously, if your teacher kicks off the year with complex... it's gonna be a bumpy ride.)    On this test, you'll be tested on the usual - operations with complex numbers, Argand diagram, solving equations in the complex set and finally using de Moivre's theorem to prove stuff.

Hiya! Waves. Today's test is on trigonometric functions and basic trigonometric equations/inequalities.     As usual, the test features a large number of questions, providing students with ample opportunities to demonstrate mastery.

[AAHL][AASL] (Unit Test v2.3) Quadratics and Functions

-
Image
Hiya! The school year's starting soon, and for many quadratics is the first topic in the course. Today's post has TWO unit tests - but there's no overlap between the two. AAHL students will take BOTH the AASL paper and the AAHL paper. Discriminant, quadratic functions and composition are some of the topics covered on the AASL paper. Polynomials, Vieta's theorem and further transformations are on the HL version. Same as usual - low floor, high ceiling. c:    AAHL: AAHL MS: AASL: AASL MS: If you're looking for more personalised support, don't hesitate to reach out and complete the form !
