Ignore Vaughan manual

Please ignore the Vaughan manual (included in the Section G manual dated as of 7/3 or before). This was removed from the syllabus.

I will update the manuals to remove it.

Apologize for any inconvenience.

RHS/ LHS

March 18th, 2018

It has recently come to my attention that some people are not familiar with the terms RHS and LHS (which I have used in the manuals/ forum):

RHS = Right Hand Side

LHS = Left Hand Side

 

Apologize for any confusion (these terms had been used fairly frequently @ school in Australia)

Combined CAS Exams

March 14th, 2018

I uploaded some “Combined CAS Exams” to the Additional Material section. These combine the questions from the various study manuals. You can take these as practice exams.

Note that there have been minimal changes to the syllabus in the last few years, so just use the exams from the CAS (I have noted which questions to skip).

Past Point Distribution file

March 7th, 2018

I updated the file to include an additional page that shows the year that each of the papers from the current syllabus was introduced. This will be useful when assessing how often each paper has been tested historically.

Note that some papers replaced others that tested similar material. Therefore you may see questions testing the material of a paper from years before that paper had been introduced.
