    Hi, I’m in 5th year and we have Christmas exams coming up in about a month.
    I wanna get a head start though and I know how to study my other subjects it’s just how could I study applied maths ? Like what should I do and what will help me ?
    So far we have done pulleys and wedges and just finished projectiles.

    Do question after question after question. There is a bank of over 40 years of questions in each of the topics and there is lots of repetition so as you do more and more practice things should become more familiar. Go to www.examinations.ie for papers and marking schemes or better yet http://www.thephysicsteacher.ie/appliedmathshome.html for notes and solutions.

    Thank you !

    Our teacher gives us sheets too and I think there from an applied maths book on each topic so would they do aswell? I feel like he won’t give us a full exam question so far

    Sort your past questions out by topic and revise them seperately - five pulley qs for example, then leave it. Next time, five projectile qs and one random pulley q for revision. It's easier to retain the info that way rather than doing complete papers which involve a lot of topics.
