"A mathematician is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat which isn't     there."                                                                                       –   Charles Darwin

Tetris is more fun than math.

The word "mathematics" has been threatening students for centuries. To help prevent common pre-exam symptoms of shock and horror, I've provided you with some CRUCIAL tips which will make your HSC less intimidating and ultimately help you achieve that outstanding test score.

What to expect. The paper will be out of a total of 100 marks, marks that will be harder to get as you progress (so don't get cocky at the beginning and zone out).

Take all the help you can get. There will be a list of Standard Integrals attached to your question booklet, so use it. Attempting to guess them when they are delivered to you is completely idiotic.

What's up for grabs?  The more marks a question is worth, the more love and devotion you should be showing it. If a question is worth more than one mark, you will be required to show your work for it. So show your work for it.

Calculator at the ready. Figure out if it's DEG or RAD you want to use and then make sure your calculator is in the right mode! There's nothing more upsetting than completing an exam and realising that every answer will be wrong because of your failure to press buttons correctly.

Basic steps. There is no point in doing the work if you're not actually answering the question. Read each question carefully, more than once if necessary. Write down the formula you are using for each question before you dive into equating and calculating willy-nilly.

Don't undo. Don't go wild with the eraser if you think something's wrong – you can still get marks for showing your work if you're demonstrating correct problem solving methods. Leave all your scribbling behind as proof that you do (if only partially) know what you're doing.

Re-check. Once you have completed every question, go back and check each one carefully, making sure you've answered all the components of a question. Use your calculator to re-trace your problem-solving steps and make sure you come up with the same solution. If you don't, you've got a little detective work to do to find out where you strayed from the path of correctness.

5 <b>Tips</b> To Deal With <b>Math</b> Exam Stress - The Educator&#39;s PLN

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 05:31 AM PDT

Stress is a natural part of being human and some stress can be good as it motivates us to work hard. When it comes to math exam, most of the student's sweat as the date of examinations approaches. In today's world exams are unfortunate necessity and math exam stress is the big part of student's life. This article cannot make math exam away, but still it will help you to deal with math exam stress.


Here are some tips to beat exam stress,

1)  Display positive feeling about math:

This is the most important thing to beat math examination stress. Having a positive feeling about math can beat half of your stress. Choose your own way to study. Develop a positive attitude about math. To develop positive attitude you can take help from Math Tutor. If you are afraid of math this will impact in your work, so students should develop positive feelings about math.

2) Recognize stress:

Learn to recognize stress this will save your time during exam preparation. When you are stressed take a break go online chat with the experts to overcome with exam stress.

3) Plan schedule:

The most important mistake which students make is they depend on the last moment study. Make a study plan before 2-3 weeks of examination. Gather notes and study tips for the exam. Develop the time table to monitor your progress.

4) Practice:

The best way to beat stress at a math exam time is to practice math as much as possible. Practice makes perfect. This is very much true with mathematics.

5) Develop the strong support system:

Strong support system reduces anxiety and stress. Students do better when they are not isolated. For example a student has a geometry exam and he/she need some support to overcome with the stress, in this case he/she can take help from geometry helper. Similarly, students can develop a strong support system.

JEE (Advanced) 2014 : Study Tips - <b>Tips Study Mathematics</b> Blog

Posted: 07 Jun 2014 07:39 AM PDT

With JEE (Advanced) 2014 just over a month away, it is time engineering aspirants pep-up their preparations for the exam.

The JEE (Advanced) question paper consists of questions from: Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics.

Students may find Mathematics a little overwhelming while preparing for the exam. Here are a few helpful tips for students which will them master the subject.

Paper pattern :

The exam consists of two objective type (MCQ) question papers, designed to test comprehension, reasoning and analytical ability of candidates. Both the papers will be held for a duration of three hours and are made of three separate sections on Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics.

Candidates can answer the questions in English or Hindi. Negative making is applicable for every wrong answer.

Mathematics syllabus :

Algebra -

Quadratic Equations and Expressions, Complex Numbers, Probability, Vectors and 3D Geometry, Matrices

Coordinate Geometry -

Circle, Parabola, Hyperbola

Calculus -

Functions, Limits, Continuity and Differentiability, Application of Derivatives, Definite Integral

Tips :

If we analyse the previous year JEE papers, they suggest that the candidates should pay more attention to Vectors and 3-D than Probability or Indefinite integration as vectors and 3-D offers very less scope to examiner, as far as variety in problem is concerned. Each year 2-3 questions are asked from Complex Number. Therefore mastering complex numbers, vectors, 3-D and Definite integral should be their top priority.

  • Students can make Algebra easier if they can harness the ability to picture functions as graphs and are good at applying vertical and horizontal origin shifts carefully as zeroes of functions and other specific values can be done in much less time using these techniques.
  • Differential calculus again relates well to roots of equations, especially if you use the Rolle's and Lagrange's theorems.
  • Students can use Complex numbers to solve questions in co- ordinate geometry too. Trigonometric questions require applications of De Moivre's theorem.
  • Permutation, Combination and Probability is another very important topic in algebra. Students have to be thorough with the basics of Bayes theorem, derangements and various ways of distribution, taking care of cases where objects are identical and when they are not.
  • Matrices can be related to equations, hence a 3×3 matrix can actually be visualized as being three-planed in 3D geometry. Determinants have some very nice properties, for instance, the ability to break them into two using a common summand from a row/ column, which should be made use of in tougher questions.
  • Integral calculus can be simplified using tricks and keeping in mind some basic varieties of integrable functions. Remembering the properties and applying them wisely saves lot of time.
  • Coordinate geometry requires a good working knowledge of the parametric forms of various conic sections and an ability to convert the other, tougher ones to these basic forms and then interpret the solutions accordingly.

The most important point to keep in mind is that Mathematics can only be mastered with regular practice. Hence the students should try and solve as many sample papers and problems as possible on a regular basis.

I know everyone has different ways to study Add Maths. I write this post is to share my ways to study add math and I hope my study tips may help those who need it.

Ok, there's a quote for you: Keep calm and learn Add Maths.

I only found this picture. :P Haha...So, keep calm and love add maths. 

Quite many of my friends asked me before: How do you learn additional mathematics? So, I try to write this post. 

Year 2012 - I started my student life as a science student. Have to study AddMaths. When I first study chapter 1 - function, I thought it was not so difficult.  So, for my revision, I just read the notes given, and do homeworks and exercises given by our add maths teacher. (This tips work) I bought exercise book for add maths, but I was quite lazy to do it everyday. So, I did it every week. (This won't really work)In March, we had monthly test. I was not so satisfied with the marks that time.

Day by day, I found that Add Maths is different from mathematics, it is more difficult. I was quite stress that time and always get frustrated when I can't find a solution for a question. But, just don't want to give up. 

 

One day, I asked my addmaths teacher: How to learn addmaths?  The answer is: Do more exercise. I asked my teacher again: What is the simplest way to learn addmaths? The answer is: Do more exercise lor. Well, same answer, I decided to do more exercises for addmath. (This tips really work. That's why when my friends asked me how do I learn addmaths, my answer will always be: DO MORE EXERCISES.) 

So, I tried. Everyday, I took 1 hour to do addmaths exercise. I found that addmaths actually is so interesting and challenging. No matter what, everyday I will do exercise for addmaths at least 30minutes. After that, I found that addmath is not so difficult as what I thought before. For the next exam, I was able to score for my additional mathematics.

Year 2013 - For SPM, I achieved my target for addmath and get the grade that I targeted. 

Ok, that's part of my story, the point is NEVER GIVE UP. 

Come to the study tips: 

- You need to pay attention in class. Listen to what teacher are teaching. 

- You have to finish all the exercises/assignments given by your teacher. Listen to your teacher's advice. 

- You need to have a reference book. I suggest you to buy Pelangi/Oxford one. 

- You need to buy exercise book for additional mathematics and do all the exercises. For suggestion, you should buy exercise book which there are steps for the answer. I used "1201 Bank Soalan Matematik Tambahan"(Pan Asia Publication), Cerdik Publication also not bad (Fly High series if i am not mistaken, during my year lah...) 

- For SPM candidates,  you should do SPM past years questions. Somemore, you should do Koleksi Kertas Percubaan SBP. You should also do all the SPM trial papers, for me, I use Pelangi one. 

- For your timetable, try to get 1 hour or at least 30 minutes for your AddMaths revision. 

- Form a study group. You will not get bored when you study addmath with you friends in the form of study group. You can ask them when you have question and discuss with each other. (This tips really work for me. When I don't know how to solve a question, I will discuss with my friends. And when we got to solve the problem together, we'll feel happy and satisfied.  :D )  

- You should ask teacher when you have problem or you cannot solve a question. You must listen and pay attention when your teacher is teaching about the steps in solving the problem.

- When doing your addmaths homework, you can listen to mp3. Listen to your favourite song or some relaxing music. This can help in reducing stress.

- You need to UNDERSTAND. Learning additional mathematics is not like learning history or reading novel. You need to understand the concepts. It won't work if you memorize. 

- You need to MASTER the formulas.

- Don't just think harder, you need to THINK SMARTER.

- When doing exercises for addmath, remember to write the answer STEP BY STEP. This is important to keep it as habit, so that during exam, you won't skip the step for your solution. 

- Don't be stress when study addmath. 

- Be well prepared for the exam. All the best! ;) 

- Always think positive and believe that you can do it! Never give up! Ok? 

I think these are what I can share. Maybe my study tips are not the best tips and maybe not complete, but hopefully can be helpful. If you don't think the tips are useful/helpful, please go refer to other people study tips especially the PRO one. :) 

*** Sorry if I've wrote something wrong especially for the grammar mistakes. Thank you for reading my blog. :)
