I have my trial examinations for mathematics next term (both 2 unit and 3 unit). I have 2 week holidays and then 7 weeks till the trials. I just wanted to know the best ways/methods to prepare for my trials.

Any help would be kindly appreciated

Legit. For maths you should be doing LOTS and LOTS of past papers for preparation

do lots and lots of trials/hsc papers lelele, especially hard ones
here is a tiered list i made just for you <3
(Higher the number the harder it is)
1. Girraween
2. Baulkham Hills
3. CSSA
4. James Ruse
5. Sydney Boys
6. Sydney Grammar
7. Bored of Studies trials

hsc is very variable

if you're serious/have time do all available past papers for those schools in order (except cssa ofc because that would be illegal :rudolf: )

mark everything (and harshly)
do it all in timed test conditions
make sure you work out why you didn't get 100% whenever you don't get 100%
make sure you check your answers during the alloted time, checking answers is a skill, and it's good to develop it

Where does Knox lie in this?

Also if you get your hands on Independent, I've found a lot of them to be harder than CSSA

Hey

Lets get Carrotsticks and Trebla to make more BOS maths exams so then we can practice hard questions more often

You do know that the BoS trials are first conducted under actual exam conditions right
