Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Year 12 ATAR course exam structured?
Each ATAR maths exam has two sections: a Calculator-Free section (35%, 50 minutes, 5–10 questions) and a Calculator-Assumed section (65%, 100 minutes, 8–13 questions). Students may bring CAS calculators and two A4 sheets of notes to Section Two.
Methods covers core calculus (derivatives, integrals, exponentials, logs) and statistics (binomial, normal distributions, confidence intervals for proportions). Specialist extends this with complex numbers, 3D vectors, differential equations, volumes of revolution, and confidence intervals for means. Specialist must be taken alongside Methods.
Both. Our sessions cover the full SCSA syllabus content and dedicate time to exam strategy — time management across Calculator-Free and Calculator-Assumed sections, efficient CAS use, structured working for full marks, and regular practice with past WACE papers.
Absolutely. Many Year 12 students enrol in two or three ATAR subjects together — for example, Maths Methods + Physics, or Specialist + Methods + Chemistry. Contact us for a bundled schedule.
The earlier the better — Units 3 and 4 build directly on Year 11 content. Starting at the beginning of the year gives students time to consolidate Year 11 gaps before the content accelerates in Semester 2 and exam season.
Our tutors are experienced WA educators with deep knowledge of the SCSA curriculum and WACE exam requirements. They hold relevant university qualifications and have a track record of helping students achieve strong ATAR results.
