Know Your Keywords — Math, Advanced
Eighteen advanced points plus a closing mixed set: parabola parameters, radical and polynomial inequalities, unit circles at awkward angles, joined and similar solids, and dimensional analysis under pressure.
KYK Advanced comprises the highest order difficulty questions that have shown up in previous tests, categorised by the common rules and theorems behind them. Focus on the method in each keyword box, and note any question that could become a stub error for you.
