Year 10 student Ali focused on solving trigonometric equations and applying the sine rule, including tackling ambiguous cases using worked examples.

For Year 11, Jessica reviewed transformations of functions and explored roots and zeros of quadratic equations, incorporating vertex calculations.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Daniel revised critical path analysis by drawing network diagrams from activity tables and practiced identifying earliest start/finish times along with finding the overall project duration.

A Year 8 student often left working out unstructured in multi-step ratio questions, which made it tough to spot where mistakes occurred—he sometimes merged steps, so errors weren't visible until checking answers at the end.

In Year 11, another student preparing for HSC finance found it challenging to read longer questions carefully; key information was missed when not highlighted or written out.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student relied on memorising formulas for trigonometry instead of understanding their origins and relationships, making it harder to adapt when unfamiliar question types appeared on practice exams.

One Nowra tutor noticed Andrea, a Year 12 student, starting to recognise her own mistakes in past exams and explaining how she'd use different strategies next time—a big shift from her earlier habit of just accepting wrong answers.

Another high school win: Laaibah recently began working through network algorithms independently; after previously needing prompts on critical path analysis, she now answers those questions solo.

In primary, Isaak moved from hesitating with perimeter and area tasks to solving them for both 2D and 3D shapes without pausing for reassurance.

Last week, Andrea confidently converted tricky angles between radians and degrees on her own.
