Program for Practice Tests

Hi everyone,
Today I did my practice exam for Unit 3 and it was really alarming  to me of how much things I was drawing a blank on even though I had revised. So does anyone know of any programs where I can select subject areas and it'll generate test questions for that area. If I can get one, am hoping it will keep my skills sharp all the way through till finals.

Thanks :)

Haven't really used Edrolo but they advertise almost exactly this. Unforunately they run subscriptions by school, not by individual, so you're pretty much out of like if yyour school doesn't have it.

Khan Academy has a similar system, where you are tested on content you have learned periodically to make sure you remember. While KA isn't designed for any of the australian curriculums, everything covered in methods is covered there (and more). All the questions are randomly generated (or there's just a very large library of questions ::) ) and have full worked solutions and accompanying lessons. It's also free.

There's probably others, but I don't know of them. Alternatively you could use a program like Anki that shows you flash cards and have a question on one side and an answer on the other. You can add tags and subcategories using anki so if you only wanted to practice calculus or integration, you could pick those. The downfall of this is that you have to supply all the questions and answers, and it would take a while to set up. Another very inefficient way to get the same result is to write a program to do it for you, but at that point I don't think it's worth it. ::)

https://www.mathstute.com.au is a good site that sorts all the questions for methods into there respective categories and makes tests out of them with past VCAA questions, choosing ones that only apply to the current study design. They also do further maths

my teacher gave me this referral code for a 20% discount aswell - 2017GDMT

hope this helps. To make it cheaper aswell you can make an account and share it with a friend and split the cost.

I don't know if it does methods but studyon  by Jacaranda plus (requires purchase) will generate past exam questions based on topic
