Practice Unit tests Use this booklet to help you prepare for all unit tests in Higher Maths. Your formal test will be of a similar standard. Read the description of each assessment standard carefully to make sure you know what you could be tested on. Work through each practice test to check your understanding. There are slight differences and it is important that you do your best to prepare for these. Reasoning problems are identifiable in the booklet with a #.1 or #.1. If you come across something you don t understand or can t remember then do something about it: Look in your course notes for a similar eample Look in your tetbook for notes and worked eamples Look on SCHOLAR for further eplanation and more practice questions Look on the Internet notes and worked eamples (HSN is a useful site http://www.hsn.uk.net/ ) Ask your teacher or anyone else that is able to help you with Maths 1
