Year 8 student Zahra focused on ratios by practicing simplification and tackling real-life ratio problems.

In Year 10, Adeel worked through quadratic functions—specifically graphing quadratics and exponential relationships—and then applied these skills to non-linear equation questions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Chloe explored financial mathematics by solving compound interest problems and reviewed shares, market price, and dividend yield calculations using recent exam-style questions.

A Year 8 student repeatedly relied on memorising rules when tackling algebra and ratio questions, as one tutor noted, "he should work towards solving certain problems without rule dependency."

This meant that when unfamiliar worded problems appeared, understanding broke down rather than adapting methods.

In Year 11, exam revision highlighted the need for clearer written solutions—steps were sometimes skipped or muddled, making it hard to check calculations or spot errors during practice with trigonometry and financial maths.

One session ended with missed marks simply because the answer justification wasn't shown on paper; the solution was correct but invisible to the marker.

One Longreach tutor noted Andrea's shift from simply following steps to actually catching her own mistakes—after reviewing a recent exam, she could pinpoint where her approach went wrong and explain why another method worked better.

In Year 11 maths, Andrea also started drawing her own diagrams for ambiguous sine rule cases, something she'd hesitated with before.

Meanwhile, Laaibah (Year 10) has moved from needing hints to completing network flow and critical path questions entirely on her own. During one session, she independently solved multiple backward scanning problems without asking for guidance.
