Practice paper focus areas

• Original full-option-bank synoptic practice 1 — Original synoptic full-option-bank practice, not an official SACE examination format. Covers all 12 published topics; a school program selects subtopics from at least three topics for 10 credits or six for 20 credits and may study topics partly. This full-bank paper is deliberately broader than an individual school course. Teachers may select taught questions and rescale time at about 1.5 minutes per mark. Calculator/graphing technology permitted; show reasoning. Suggested 150 minutes for 96 marks includes checking time. — Functions and graphs, Polynomials, Trigonometry, Counting and statistics, Growth and decay, Introduction to differential calculus, Arithmetic and geometric sequences and series, Geometry, Vectors in the plane, Further trigonometry, Matrices, Real and complex numbers
