Hmm....



I don't think there would be many definitions or anything for those topics but if you need to learn anything, make up mnemonics you can relate to. For example...



For Trigonometry ratios

1st Quadrant - All - All

2nd Quadrant - Sine - Stations

3rd Quadrant - Tangent - To

4th Quadrant - Cosine - Central



(Or All Strippers Take Crack, whatever floats your boat)



If there is no learning to do as such, just sit down and do LOADS of practise questions. And do really hard ones on the topics you'll be tested on. That way, you study past what you need to know and are prepared for the challenging questions you might get.



Always study in the same place

Don't study for too long at a time. Make sure you take breaks

Put away distractions.



Damn I can't think of any more



good luck anyway :)

:no-no: naughty naughty.



At my school they check calculators. Not a good idea. You are better to just learn the work. What good is it to not learn it? It's so un-rewarding.

Steve, I am sorry, I forget all the basics. Although I could do them if I saw them, I couldn't remember what was from what type of algebra or what. Hope your studies go well.



And don't worry guys, when you get into upper level math, your teachers will give you formulas and programs to use on exams. That's what my teachers did for Calc and Stats.

Yeah DLtweeds, we get a formulae list and a scientific calculator to use. But we have a non calculator paper too.
