[TheGreatest99.95]

hi fellow HSCer's,
im after some advice about mathematics 4unit. i reckon that if i worked hard enough i'd be able to cope but then i might not be able to focus on other subjects; but 4 unit is such a great atar contributor if you do well. what is your opinion?

 

[SpiralFlex]

My sources indicate it is worth doing 4 unit if you are at least somewhat good at mathematics.

 

[slyhunter]

Yes that is true. It's so rewarding.

 

[TheGreatest99.95]

sounds like im doing 4 unit then, is it true that its not that difficult (still hard) but time consuming??

 

[slyhunter]

Hmm, it's different for everybody.

How do you find 3U atm?

3 unit isnt that bad, im currently ranked between 6-12 estimated

 

[slyhunter]

Out of?

 

[TheGreatest99.95]

about 29 or so. im trying to get my rank in the top 5

It's different. You think about 4U differently to how you would think about 3U and quite often there are little tricks that you have to pull in from everywhere.

Try it out though, even if you think it might be a bit of a struggle. It's better to know that you tried it then to never have picked it up at all.

 

[slyhunter]

Yeah go for it. If you find it too hard, you can always drop back.

And if you're doing well in 4U then it'll make 3U a walk in the park.

Proviso: you understand 4U. Easier said than done ahaha 4025808.

haha heck I crammed 3U exam and I was the only one who actually found it easy... like over a school that receives more than 50% E4s for ext 1 (20/38 last year )

 

[slyhunter]

Lol, is this bragging haha?

Heck who am I to say that? I didn't study for 3U.

lol but I barely did any work beforehand :L
anyhow yeah I was bragging but that's what you could possibly do if you gain more confidence to succeed in 3U due to you doing 4U

meh. does anyone find it hilarious when a person in 2 unit smashes almost all those in 3 unit...

 

[LoveHateSchool]

^Yes, I find that exceedingly hilarious. Especially when 3u person tries to justify it by saying their head was too filled of real maths.

Not funny when 3 units do it to 4 units though :/

LOL, yes, it is very funny.

 

[slyhunter]

That's why you make sure that doesn't happen.
