For old syllabus

This title does NOT follow 'Stage 6 Mathematics Extension 1' NSW syllabus introduced in 2017 but can be used for extra practice.

Originally published in 2002, this book was written for the previous 'Preliminary & HSC Mathematics Extension 1' course, also sometimes called '3 Unit'.

Phoenix Practice Questions by Topic feature a full range of the types of questions asked in previous HSC examinations for each HSC maths topic. Each title includes

• comprehensive range of questions, covering all types of questions asked in previous HSC examinations, organized by topic
• fully worked solutions for each questions
• formula test for each topic
• general strategies for approaching questions on the topic
• student record sheet, to record progress
• tips for helping to solve questions
• three complete practice HSC papers, using the format and layout of the HSC examination and using questions based on  previous HSC papers. One of the papers is an annotated demonstration paper showing how to approach the examination.

The result is a book that allows students to experience the complete range of the types of questions asked and which they can use:

• in Year 11 and Year 12, while studying the topic in class
• before the examination during revision and final study
• to concentrate on and improve in weaker topics
