I'm actually just hoping for a pass right now.
I just don't understand concepts at all, and I've always struggled with Maths Ext.

What about you guys?

definitely the least prepared for the subject requiring the most practice haha, oh well, I'm fairly sure 3u won't be counted for my atar :(
would've been nice to have that juicy scaling.

I was almost failing year 11...54% for my year 11 yearly. Came 3rd in year 12...was coming first until trials. Still crapping myself. Hopefully my rank will pull me up.

Just put down everything you know. MX1 and MX2 markers tend to give stacks of work for marking

Woo, 13 units! That's why I'm not extremely worried, because I am certain it won't count to my ATAR!

I'm screwed. I haven't even touched my extension textbook since the trials. I have forgotten majority of the concepts. Regardless I only need an ATAR of 75 for my uni course and I have 13 units.

I love how after the 2U/4U exams the 2U kids (doing 3U as well) are freaking out about 3U...and the 4U kids are pretty much like, "Yeaaaaaaah 3U bring it." Or maybe that's just my school.

as for the exam itself I should be okay at the very least, I won't fall too hard if I mess up as I'm ranked 2nd - at least, assuming my cohort doesn't flounder as well :p

Can u do binomial probability? It's so hard
Binomial probability is generally easier than perms and combs. But I have trouble with this whole probability topic.
but binomial theorem etc. best topic.

and Nws m8 -, if its "nothing" for you m8. expecting a state rank. Also, i think 4u kids are expected to get 95+ in 3u. (if they are competent in 4u, not just those kids who pick it and struggle the whole year hoping "scaling" will save them)

I don't think 3u is hard for any 4u kid :p

not hard =/= nothing.
Its similar with 3u kids and 2u.
But you have to consider the amount of people doing 4u just because "my parents expect + scaling" and get shit in 3u.
but yeah, generally, 4u kids should smash 3u. good luck tomorrroww! I should practice some perms and combs now. Ahh hopefully its not the ze last question.
