how much homework is involved in 4u maths? 1 hour per night? 2?
I just want to get an idea of what I'm signing myself up for

would be handy if people could share some insights thanks

It depends on your abilities. How are you doing in extension 1 maths? Acing or barely passing?

depends, sometimes a lot, sometimes zero. (but then there is study/practice)

simple way to put it, if u are doing 10units total, 4u equates to 4/10 unites, i.e 40%, thus, spend 40% of total time studying 4u.

I remember saying this

but yeah 4U should be taking up a lot of time; not only with homework but also study/past papers/practice/etc

i sort of want to hear what other people's study habits are like....
like would you be spending a lot more time on math than if u just did 3u and roughly how much etc etc
it's fine though, i guess i can't really ask people to put a quantitative figure on it since it varies

i feel like I'm derailing my own thread

it really depends but you can't just skim the whole course and get a decent mark in the end like English

4u is something different from the rest of your subjects. It requires special attention because you need to understand the foundations of the course to do well. So I'd say you'd need to constantly be studying for 4u throughout Year 12 or else you'd risk falling behind. For 4u, consistency is the most important factor, and exposing yourself to new questions and scenarios are also important.
Homework wise my class got us to do one exercise from a chapter per lesson to complete for the next lesson. So it wasn't all too bad but there is a lot of content for 4u so be consistent!!

How much work you do per night also depends on some factors such as (but not exclusive to):

1. Do you intend to get tutored on it, or are you self learning?

2. Your previous learning habits. Do you memorise Maths formulas and methods, or do you actually understand what you're doing?

3. When you study, is it legitimate quality study time, or half YT/FB etc plus study?

4. What are you aiming for? State Rank? E4? E3? Pass?

5. How much do you actually like Maths?

1-2 hours would be enough for 3-4 hard problems

Hmm when I first started it took me a night to just complete three questions from an exercise (with sub questions though) but after I've studied it for a while I came up with a strategy so that made 4u a lot easier for me to study, but of course it still took up half of my study time.
Studying 4U will make 3u a lot easier which can relatively reduce the time you spend on 3u but that's just my personal opinion.

That's true and one must constantly study 4/3u in order to achieve an e4 and do well.

Try to balance your studying between 4U and 3U since most folks focus too much on 4U and leave 3U behind.

1. Self learing, I don't plan on getting tutoring because I've never been tutored and don't plan on it (if I do, only for english)
2. Used to memorise formulas, then after half yearlies for yr 11, I started actually understanding stuff
3. I do both ><
4. Aiming for E4 (lol don't know if that's aiming too high )
5. I like all my subjects except for english pretty equally derp, I'd say I sort of like it
