This Study Guide assists students in their preparation for tests and examinations in the Mathematics Applications Unit 3 & 4 ATAR course. The structure is such that students will be able to make use of the book throughout the year.

This book will challenge and extend students studying Year 12 ATAR Mathematics Applications. It has been specifically written to help students revise their work and succeed in all their class tests, half-yearly and final exams. It’s packed with concise, student-friendly explanations for topics, backed up with step-by-step examples, plus many questions and answers.

The Syllabus Checklist indicates to students which skills they must have acquired and the objectives they need to meet under each of the major headings of the course.

The Worked Examples are presented in a detailed manner, with brief notes and explanations being used to amplify the understanding required for the particular question. Some of these worked examples could be used in the written notes that students are permitted to take into an examination.

The Problems to Solve section in each chapter provides students with a broad range of questions without the repetitive nature of problems usually associated with a course textbook.

The Trial Tests are an additional component to this book, and allow students to familiarise themselves with examination questions. Suggested times are given for these tests, and students are encouraged to adhere to these times to prepare properly for final examinations.

Fully worked solutions are provided for students to receive immediate, accurate and useful feedback on their performance.

Tests are provided for both the resource free (no calculator) and the resource rich (calculator allowed) components of the assessment.
