AdvancedQ30 · Number Theory + Combinatorics
Key observations based on 2017 exam characteristics
Problems requiring both number theory and combinatorial knowledge appeared for the first time.
Some MCQs required breaking from conventional approaches with creative methods.
Function modeling and optimization became key algebra topics.
The finale involved integer partition optimization, testing mathematical insight.
Targeted preparation tips by topic, based on this year’s difficulty and focus areas
The 2017 Australian AMC had an overall difficulty of Medium-Above. Prepare in order — secure the high-frequency and foundational areas first, then break through the advanced topics — with timed practice on this year’s papers.
a high-frequency area this year — prioritise it and drill Integer partitions, counting in number theory for reliable marks.
a core scoring area — master Rotation, symmetry, similarity transformations thoroughly.
a foundational area — lock in Function modeling, optimization, graph analysis to avoid easy losses.
appears almost every year — build a fixed method for Case analysis, tree diagrams, systematic enumeration.
application-focused — watch for Chart reading, trend analysis, averages combined with real-life contexts.
key to high scores — once the basics are solid, focus on Linear systems, quadratic equations, basic inequalities.
