Now that the Junior Cert is only one week away ,you should be concentrating exclusively on past exam papers ,there is no better way of preparing for your exams than by going over past exam papers.

 

Junior Cert Syllabus A Students :(Honours)

Make sure you know your theorems remember there are as much as 140 marks going for the Geometry on paper 2!

The best way to revise the theorems is to write them out using the rule

“Picture,Construction,Proof”

 If you want to avoid learning all the theorems one course of action is to learn the last 6 theorems in the book . If you know these you should be able to answer all the short theorem questions and at least one of the big questions.

 

Junior Cert Syllabus B students: (pass);

 

Although there is a lot of geometry, you do not have to prove any theorems. The questions are always based on a diagram.

A parallelogram in Question 3,a Circle in Question 4.

 

Best approach is to mark in on the given diagram all the information, angles, lenths of sides etc. this will be of great help in answering the geometry.

Study Plan

(i) At this stage you should have a fair idea of which questions you intend to do. So it is exam papers from now on.

(ii) Go through the exam papers on a topic by topic basis from 2000 to 1995; I usually leave out ’94 as the paper really took shape in ’96.

 

(iii) Learn the proofs in those topics that you intend to do. You must know your proofs have a look at for some easier ways of doing the calculus proofs.

(iv) Remember that the following topics are asked together

(i) The Line +transformations

trans.htm

(ii) Complex numbers + Matrices

The result is these questions tend to have lots of bits and can be quite tedious!
