MATH1131 and 1141 dropout rate (1 Viewer)

[plutonium-238]

What is the general dropout % rate for both? I am thinking of doing 1141 but not sure if I am able to handle the extra workload.

What are the advantages of doing 1141 instead of 1131? assuming the student is capable

What maths did you just do and how did you go in the recent HSC results?

Don't know the dropout rates for either but 1141 scales up whilst 1131 scales down. Content wise, both consist of the same topics but 1141 goes into more depth + harder questions than 1131. The difference in difficulty is slightly smaller than the gap between 3U and 4U imo.

I did Ext. 2 maths and got combined ext 1 and 2 mark of 187.

Then you have exceeded the min 175 according to the unsw guideline. You should be OK for 1141.

Okay thanks! How difficult is it to get a D or HD in 1141? I am willing to put in the effort

I crammed 1141 and scraped a HD. My combined mark was around 180.

And here I am getting my friend to teach me 3u for 1131 XD

Projectile motion from MX1 and Mechanics from MX2 are handy for PHYS11X1 so it's worth learning if you need to do Physics 1A.
