The Year 10 Max Series™ Volume 6 is not your ordinary Maths revision workbook.

Are you constantly surprised to find that your school exam questions differ from the textbook questions you spent hours perfecting? Do you find those practice papers your teacher provided for you didn’t quite prepare you for the exam?
Textbooks provide course content in a way that helps students gain sound knowledge and understanding of the fundamental concepts.

But when you are preparing for exams at school, you require more than this. School students are required to:

• Demonstrate comprehensive and deep knowledge and skills
• Apply Maths concepts to unfamiliar or challenging questions/situations
• Use sophisticated multi-step reasoning
• Utilise and practise excellent problem-solving skills.

This is the final step before your exam

The Year 10 Maths Max Series^TM is designed for maths revision and exam preparation. Additionally, it provides students with the opportunity to further develop and practise the fundamental concepts. Used correctly, it will aid students in acquiring a clear advantage for their school exams.

The Year 10 Maths Max Series^TM succeeds by:

• Exposing students to exam-style questions in order to reduce the chance of encountering unfamiliar problems.
• Bridging the knowledge and skills gap between their textbooks and exam questions to prepare students for exams 
• Improving students’ problem-solving skills by presenting techniques not taught in textbooks.

How to use this book
