It's only a Toyota Supra!

What is this thread? I hope no one is suggesting that using MiF somehow limits your potential. If you only do past papers, you're screwed. If you only just do Cambridge text book questions, dare I say it, you are also screwed. Obviously you don't just use one resource for all the questions...

Of course, you have to do what works best for you. I guess my main gripe (which accounts for my perspective) is that for the Extension 1 2020 HSC, they introduced content into the new syllabus but then just reverted the majority of the examination back to topics that stem from Year 11, featured...

For sure, don't use the Maths in Focus textbook to learn the entire course from, Cambridge is definitely superior in that regard, but if you find yourself looking for more questions on a specific topic, which can be hard to find from past-papers, it has some value. I utilised the Cambridge...

I'm not here to argue, however, not all questions in the HSC are aimed at the top 1% of the state. There are difficult differentiating questions, but you will be hard-pressed to find accurate examples of these in any textbook. I don't think that it is completely wise just to complete stupidly...

I'm merely trying to provide additional questions that aren't stupidly easy. At some point, you're going to have completed the Cambridge Review questions and the past papers online (not that any of those helped at all for this year's Extension 1 examination), so it is good to have another source...

It seems I should have clarified myself. Maths in Focus, dare I say it, is good for the challenge questions.

Yeah Yeah, my bad, Extension 2 is always out of 100.

Extension 2 and Extension 1 Mathematics are always given out of 50 from my understanding.

I can relate to the private school accelerated stream for cheap B6s, my school has two classes of them for the sole purpose of increasing the success rate for SMH rankings! It sounds like a difficult situation, I'm sure I don't need to tell you that. If you are aiming to do Civil Engineering...

I think practice questions are nearly always a better alternative to notes (for the subjects you are doing outside of English) but I think they are still helpful to have with you, especially for any rubbish explain questions in physics. I can't really speak for 4unit math, as I'm the midst of...

Wait, so are there only 5 people in your cohort doing Extension 1? What about extension 2? I guess as someone else said, that it helps your success rate and SMH rankings, but that sounds ridiculous to me. I'd exhaust trying to get into the extension 1 course before thinking about moving to the...

Pro Tip. Spend $50 on a Lamy Fountain Pen and try using an incorrect grip on that thing. You won't even be able to write unless you hold it correctly so no need to try and practice with 'ordinary' pens. However, I was told by one of my teachers that the pen was rubbish...

If you don't have either Maths in Focus or Cambridge Mathematics text books, I can recommend them.

Take those crossed out questions with a grain of salt. I heard from my peers that the Excel Past Papers for Extension 1 Mathematics crossed out parts that were in the test... So make sure that you check this before deciding that it's not in the syllabus.

Yeah, Extension 1 Mathematics is a bit of a doozy. Did all the bloody past papers in preparation for the HSC and none of them were particularly helpful.

None of those subjects are pre requisites to law and commerce (Because there really aren't any, maybe English Advanced), so you don't need to worry about it from that point of view. If you really enjoy English, which I don't blame you, then go for Extension 2. In terms of Economics and Legal...

Adding to this, if you arent engaging with co-curricular in Year 11, I can guarantee that you won't feel inclined to start this in Year 12. However, if you can establish this as a habit in your Preliminary year, it will serve you for Year 12. It's fairly generic school advice, but it really is...
