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?

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

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.

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

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 :p)

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 :p

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