Going into 6th year and need help preparing for maths!

    Hi, so as the title suggests, I require some assistance from you guys. It's not that I'm a slacker or anything; quite the contrary is true really, I've been getting consistent "A" grades in maths, but for this year I've decided to refocus my method of studying and just do exam papers instead of reading the book and doing questions from that. I have found it easy to make study plans with this approach for every other subject. An example would be Applied maths where I spend 90 minutes a week doing exam questions. One 90 minute slot would have 2 questions from a particular topic, and then spend time correcting them and seeing where I went wrong. For example, for all of September I will be doing Linear Accelerated Motion. I would like to use the same study methods for Maths, but what with project maths and all this I'm finding it had to bunch things together and form this simplistic plan I like to adopt! If anybody could help me I would greatly appreciate it, and I mean it as I love maths but can't adapt to this new system :/

    How about bunching the algebra sections together, all the trigonometry and such and then stats and financial and then calculus...
    I'm currently going to spend time revising my 5th year material while staying on top of current homework... I'm aiming to study about 30 mins every second day or so and then do related exam paper questions. I'm also going to adapt your applied maths system if you don't mind ;D

    Well I can't find any way to get specific exam questions to a particular topic :( Go for it, glad to see it looks like a good idea to others!
