Why is there 4 unit maths, 4 unit english, ext history?

To suit the more advanced students.

Senior science and Biology are too alike.

you just dont get it


There are numerous reason why it cant and wont happen


Maths and english are a lot more general than sciences (particularly maths)

This allows most school, even lower ranked school to offer ext. courses. plenty of the bottom 200 school cant even offer ext 2.


introduing additional sciences will further the distances between higher and lower schools..................im betting only the top 200 schools would be able to undertake such courses...


This topic isnt new, it has been discussed briefly before but has been dismissed for obvious reasons..................


Honestly because the idea of an ext science looks good to the nerds on this site........................................doesnt mean jack

4 unit maths is about 10% of first year uni. There is no guarantee that doing 4 unit = pass in first year.

He has a point here, many science teachers wouldn't be able to cope teaching courses more challenging then currently offered.

How is refining the bio course and makin it harder to its in line with chem and physics unreasonable?

I know i probs wont ever happen but it seams fair if it did.

There are other considerations which need to be taken into account for these 'extension' subjects.

For example, most of physics cannot be done without a sound knowledge of calculus and associated mathematical methods, and BOS cannot just assume that you're doing 2u maths if you're doing physics 'extension'.

Implementing subjects like this would require a major shift in the syllabi of many different subjects. It's just too radical.

We couldn't do any maths in cosmology because they had to assume we only knew Stage 5.1 maths. It was disappointing for me, but that's how it works (we did have someone who only accelerated in 4 unit english).

Yeah we all know it cant happen but ext physics with 4 unit maths in it would be awesome
