tvd7 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 OK I can't help much because I'm still in my first year of math higher but i recently had an end of 2 terms exam where some of the oldest stuff i had sort of forgotten so here's what i did:1. just look over your notes for a specific...even if they dont make perfect sense in the beginning, its good just to refresh your memory2. look at as many "solved to show you how" problems in both your textbook and other resources3. look over your notes again for that topic, this time making sure that you understand how each equation is derived and how/when to use them4. do some of those easy problems they have at the end of an explanation in the textbooks5. move on to more challenging problems, always look back at examples to see how they do it6. finish by doing past papers i guess? this is the part i dunno abouthope this helps!! especially coming from someone who hasn't finished the first year of HL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm just a bit afraid that the final exam is going to be a lot harder than the questions from the textbook. So yeah, I'm kind of freakin out right now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBMan9000 Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 The way I practice is by going to that chapter in the book and doing some of the homework exercises. Usually I'll remember how to do them by just doing them and some trial and error. That way it's harder to forget when you've sorta 'discovered' how to do it again. Notes don't help me, but I have friends that swear by them, so use them if they help. Maybe trying to learn the concepts more than just formulas helps too. For example, if you know how they got the formula you might be able to derive it in a situation that you need it (assuming that you would have forgotten it at this point either way).

CellarDoor Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 First of all, you can't get enough problems to revise fully.What I'd reccomend is that you take those really hairy problems, that teachers usually give when the topic is finished and do them again, because they tend to cover all areas of the topic plus logic, which you can't train enough.Good luck!

Guest Lily Bean Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 If you have a textbook it might be easier to get problems to practice with. I think H&H is good though people say it's too easy. That may be but still it gets you practice with IB exam style questions. If you can get past papers then that's great as well. You could do 1 past paper and then wait for a few months to do it again and see if you've improved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibscrewd Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 there is a great H&H revision booklet its called 'exam preparation and practice guide'and it has a picture of the H&H HL maths book on it....i don't know if it's too late nowbut for everyone else you can order it online and it is really helpful, with the advanced IB exam style (therefore very confusing) questionsgood luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
babakren Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 the best way is to ask your seniors or those who have graduated the course, the past exam papers. Or probably you could find and download some in the internet. I think its illegal though =] well the only thing that makes you remember how to solve the problems are just practice. Reading over the examples is kind of useless and is less productive than if you do problems straight away. If you get stuck then ask your teacher or a tutor and you'll get it =]well im still in my junior year of IB so i don't know if what im saying is rite.good luck =]nvm if you took the may exams.. lol udh slese ya?
