No, MX1 is a prerequisite to the MX2 course.

I have to pick subjects for next year, I'm in Yr 10 and I was wondering if I would be able to do Ext 2 Math in Year 12 without having done Ext 1 Math.

Why would you want to do Ext 2 if you're not doing Ext 1?

You have to do MX1 to do MX2. If for nothing else than there is Harder 3u stuff in Maths Extension 2.

Re: In Year 12, will I be allowed to take up Extension 2 Math if I didn't do the Ext

I will give you an idea of the structure of the Mathematics courses in the next two years.

There are four Mathematics courses you can do. General Mathematics, Mathematics, Mathematics Extension 1 and Mathematics Extension 2.

You are in Year 10 at the moment, delicious. I mean let's say you are in Year 11 now and if you pick Mathematics you will only be doing that subject. You will not be doing any other Mathematics courses.

If you do Mathematics Extension 1 however, you MUST be in a Mathematics class. Since Mathematics Extension 1 is worth (1 unit) [In Preliminary] and Mathematics is worth (2 units) We call it altogether 3 Unit Mathematics.

Now you are in Year 12. To get entry into Year 12 Mathematics courses, you MUST complete the corresponding Year 11 Mathematics courses.

Now, same goes, if you do Extension 1, you MUST be in a Mathematics class. Since Mathematics Extension 1 is worth (1 unit) and Mathematics is worth (2 units). We call it altogether 3 Unit Mathematics.

HOWEVER! If you decided to do Mathematics Extension 2. You MUST be in a Mathematics Extension 1 class! Mathematics Extension 1 is worth 2 units now and Mathematics Extension 2 is worth 2 units. Hence that is why it is called 4 Unit Mathematics.
