yeh, volumez were pretty difficult for me to take in as well. i spent nights upon nights trying to do the problemz from an excel book, which assumed knowledge of the entire 4 unit course, until i finally broke through and understood them. the only thing that would put me down wif volumez would be graphs which i havent covered. are graphs hard btw?
4U Curve Sketching is probably the easiest topic. It just seemed to follow on from 3U really smoothly.

Also stop putting z at the end of words instead of s...

Volumes are great. My maths teacher made me rote learn a sentence that I would write for each volumes question so I couldn't possibly stuff up the set-up. It's essentially found in the Fitzpatrick book, IIRC.

You know what I am referring too...
Yes, the final HSC marks - but to generalise it to everything is wrong.

Like my school said that and implied that the 'no half marks' thing also applied to raw marks. I think I can recall teachers refusing to give me half a mark because of that reason - and especially in English, where I was trailing the first-placed person - every portion of a mark would've helped me narrow that oh-so-very-important-assessment-mark gap.
