Model answers and marks allocation help you monitor your progress. By following this revision pattern you will be able to face your exams with confidence.
The Creelman Exam Questions series follows the format developed by Andrew Creelman, a maths teacher. The format was based on his experience as a student and teacher. ’’It was my practice in preparing for exams to go through the last few years of exams and group the questions into topics to gain an understanding of the type of questions asked, the frequency of questions in certain areas and to get an insight into what the examiners were looking for. This focussed my exam preparation and I went into exams well prepared.’’
Teachers, by placing this book on your school booklist your students will have access to actual previous WACE exam questions, arranged in topics with model answers. Revision for ATAR topic tests or exams becomes easier- you can refer your students to the relevant chapter for class work or homework.
