Question Dashboard

Section 1

Each excel spreadsheet for a given chapter/article contains a dashboard identifying various aspects of past CAS questions.

When choosing questions to work on, look to the number of points as a good indicator of the relative difficulty of the question.
Begin with questions having a lower point value and then work on higher point level questions.

Question Dashboard

Section 2

Manage your attempts at solving and self scoring each attempt, since each question is duplicated.

  • Doing so is critical to assessing your progress by evaluating the quality of your solutions over time.

  • Flag questions as Finished, Incomplete, or Needs Review to manage what you mastered, what you need to do, and what you need to review again.

Question Layout

Each question provides areas to answer and self-score twice.

Your confidence and competence grow when you:

  • note areas for improvement in the spreadsheet after solving the question on a first attempt, and then

  • work the same question again, at a future point in time.

Assess your progress by "toggling" between tabs (e.g. tab (1) and tab 1(2)) to compare your answers in terms of computational efficiency and or the quality of your short answer responses.

Solutions Layout

Shown to the right is an example of how we present solutions to past CAS questions.

Solve the approximately 400 questions, study over 1200 solutions, and review the 350+ Examiner's Report comments and you'll be more than competent to answer future questions.

Unique to out solution format are:

    Instructional Solutions

    To write sufficient and efficient solutions, you'll need to be adept at problem solving.

    Our instructional solutions contain the level of detail needed for you to solidify your understanding of the material.

    • To the right is an example of what you can expect to see in our spreadsheets for each past CAS computational type question.

    • Significant time was spent preparing thorough solutions, so that your need for video solutions, or asking an instructor to explain a solution is virtually eliminated.

    Sufficient Solutions

    Your ability to pass the exam will in large part be a function of how well you can succinctly and accurately answer questions.

    You know the material well when you can consistently develop solutions like the one shown to the far right on the exam.

    The keys to you developing answers like this begin by:

    • working questions multiple times

    • understanding the level of detail to incorporate in your solutions to multiple step problems, and

    • being mindful of previous examiner’s report commentary when developing your responses.

    Examiner's Reports

    Examiner's report commentary can be lengthy and is extremely beneficial in helping you to answer past and future questions.

    Examiner’s reports assist you in achieving a passing score in several ways:

    • Identifying gaps in your knowledge, so that you can sidestep common mistakes when answering questions a second time.

    • Providing you with insight into what concepts examiner’s were testing, so that you can quickly spot these concepts in future questions.

    • Assisting you with self-scoring. You will accurately measure your progress if you score your first attempt answers fairly, avoid mistakes you previously made in your first attempt, and then re-score your second attempt responses.
