Key Features of the Creelman Exam Questions Series:
- Each chapter focuses on one topic so you can revise for tests throughout the year.
- Mark allocations assist you to pace yourself sensibly.
- Space for you to write your short answer questions.
The Creelman Exam Question Series was initiated and developed by Andrew Creelman, a Mathematics teacher. The format was based on his own experience as a student.
He explains "It was always my practice in preparing to sit university exams to obtain the last few years of old exams in that subject to see what the examiner actually expected of me. I grouped the old questions into topics and looked for patterns. I then knew reasonably well what to study and I felt highly motivated to get down to work.
My study time contained very little wasted effort. I walked into exams well prepared and therefore quietly confident."
This book is designed to help you prepare for WACE Physics 3AB by using questions from past Physics 3AB exams. This book will ensure you face the coming exams with confidence.
Teachers - This book is also for you. By placing this book on the school booklist you can be confident that all your students have access to previous exam questions, arranged by topic, with model answers. Revision for a topic test or exam becomes much easier - just refer your students to the relevant chapter for class work or home study.
