As we move closer towards the exam, hopefully students have almost finished their bound reference. This week, we will take a look at a fundamental part of our bound reference; the table of contents. Afterwards, we will look at getting started on practice questions given we are probably eight weeks or so out from the examination.

Table of Contents
As I mentioned last week, I broke my bound reference into specific subtopics and included theory, a basic example and a more specific exam like example for each subtopic in the course. I think it is critical to create a table of contents with a page reference number for each specific subtopic. The benefit of this is twofold:
Allows for more efficient referencing during the exam (saves time!)
Gives you more confidence going into the exam which will hopefully translate into better performance.
Moving on to practice questions.
I think now is a great time to start looking towards practice and revision questions.
I would start this process by reviewing the sacs and topic tests I have completed throughout the year and perhaps retrying certain questions that were more challenging (ask for help if needed!).
After this, I would look to start answering externally made practice papers like ‘NEAP’ or ‘TSSM’ as these closely reflect exam questions. If you cannot find these resources, I would look at textbook review questions as well as external resources like ‘Checkpoints’ or ‘Atar Notes’.
Good luck in your remaining SACS and stay safe in these weird times!
