We’re proud to soon release our official QCAA-style mock external papers — written to replicate the real exam experience and help you master the toughest content before externals hit. 🔥 Each subject includes two full papers: ✅ Mathematical Methods ✅ Specialist Mathematics ✅ Chemistry 🧠 Written by me — David Sun — every question is designed to be high-yield, high-quality, and genuinely challenging. These mocks don’t just test recall — they sharpen understanding and expose every knowledge gap. 💡 Starting next Monday, we’ll be releasing one question from our mocks every day — exclusively inside the Project 99.95 Skool Community. Let’s make this external season your best ever exam performance.

Organic chem is the age old Achilles heel for a lot of chem students heading into externals so make sure to give this video by David (Dux of Grammar Chem + Grammar as a whole) a look. Located in the chem course under the organic tab. 25 minutes of pure alpha ahead of exams. Also just made a quick edit and added it to this post as per @Aman Batth's great recommendation (cheers for the idea) Look out for our mock exams which are going to be released soon!! They're gonna be really high yield + we'll be doing daily countdown questions over the next few weeks. Cheers and good luck, RK

Hey everyone, Just checking in as week 3 of term 3 comes to a wrap. Very important times right now as university applications, IAs and external preparation continues. Feel free to ask us anything regarding these things and we'll get back to you as soon as possible! PS loving the engagement going on in the community right now. We encourage you all to ask us more questions and reply to each other with your own tips and tricks. Everyone wins!

With the Methods Unit 4 exam coming up very soon for many of us, here's one last piece of advice I'd like to discuss regarding solving complex unfamiliar questions. 📌 How to Tackle Complex Unfamiliar Questions in Math Exams Let’s be real — complex unfamiliar questions are where marks are won and lost. They’re meant to challenge your thinking, not your memory. Here’s the best strategy I recommend for approaching these tough problems effectively: 1. Read the entire question carefully. Before touching your calculator, make sure you fully understand what's being asked. Don’t panic if it doesn’t make sense at first — just start unpacking what you do understand. 2. Work step-by-step from what makes sense.These questions often feel disjointed at the start. That’s normal. Begin with what’s clear, follow the logic step-by-step, and slowly build your way through. Over time, the path becomes more intuitive. 3. Use process of elimination. Try things. Remember — these are written to be solvable by high school students, not Olympiad winners. If there are only a few formulae that apply to the concept, try them one by one. Something will click. 4. ✨ Critical Tip: If you're stuck, still show your working. For example, if you can’t form the right equation in an optimisation problem, still show your attempt at the derivative, setting it to zero, solving, etc. You’ll often earn partial marks just for showing the correct method — even if you didn’t have the correct function. 5. ✨ Practice, practice, practice complex unfamiliar questions. Use tough textbook problems and high-quality practice papers. Even if the same question doesn’t show up, you’ll be better prepared for the structure, logic, and pressure of unfamiliar problem-solving. 6. ✨ Don’t neglect simple familiar and complex familiar questions. Being efficient on those gives you the extra time buffer you need to slow down and think through the complex unfamiliar at the end of the paper. Mastering unfamiliar questions is like training for a sport — the more match simulations you’ve seen, the calmer you’ll be under pressure. Best of luck everyone!
