Re: maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaths :| People often struggle with Maths as they don't do enough practice questions. It is not enough just to go to class and do the work, you have to go back home and revise on the stuff that you learnt, and set yourself a few practice tests and do them under exam...

Try in Year 11. It's not quite a big transition from Yr 10. It is basically just a practice run; just preparing you for the HSC. And there's no need to study 3+ hours, just make sure you understand the concepts taught in class, do your homework, build up good study habits and you should be fine...

Re: Which subject is more "prestigious" - English Extension 2 or Mathematics Extensio 1. No, but the major work should not be stressed over, considering it is only 1 unit. It should be looked at something extra and fun to do. Just be creative, go over your work, get feedback, get the...

Re: Which subject is more "prestigious" - English Extension 2 or Mathematics Extensio Mathematics Extension 2. Anyone can do a decent major work in EX2 with the right materials, you just need to do work on it for like 30 minutes per day, relate it back to an EX1 idea, be creative and that's...

If you want to know, then yes. I don't even go to a top 50 school.

I am in Year 12.

Of course not. You have to do all kinds of practice questions in 4U, not just the basic ones.

Anyway, to OP, just pick the subjects that you like, that is honestly the best you can do for yourself. But if you are aiming for an really high ATAR, it might take a lot more effort and hard work if you do all "low scaling" subjects. That is all. And you will be to be ranked like 1st in...

I am just talking about the advantages of doing 4U.

Exactly, doing General Maths if you are decent at Maths is a waste of time in my opinion and just puts you at a disadvantage. Pick at least Mathematics if you want to get into some kind of course Math related otherwise you will just have to do a bridging course.

Exactly. True, you can get an ATAR of 99.95 with any combination of subjects but it is much harder and a lot more effort. Actually, if you are aiming for an ATAR off 99+, I would strongly recommend doing 4 unit maths if you are like, moderately good at maths. You will find that most people who...

I am not boasting about my abilities in Maths. Someone said that it would be interesting to see what I got for 4U for my HSC, and I said I hoped for 99+. It's what I am working towards.

It's called setting goals and working hard towards them. Yes, I will be dissapointed with anything less than 99+.

Look, everyone has their opinions about the course which is fine, I'm just telling you what I think and believe.

Anyone who can get 80+ in 2U or anyone who can get 60/70+ in 3U, or a little less than that would also be fine. It just depends on how willing you are. There is no reason to be scared of 4U. It's stupid; especially if you haven't even done the course. You are basically just scared of all these...

The beauty about Mathematics is that it is not like other subjects. You have to be accurate, not like in HSIE subjects or English where you can just write any sentence that makes sense and relates to the topic and blabber about it. With Maths, you can only have one answer. No, 4U is not "easy"...

When I said I was "average", I didn't mean it in that way. Perhaps I shouldn't have said that. True, if you're an "okay-ish" at Maths, 2U would be far more suitable to you or 3U. But there's no reason an average person in Maths can't learn the course. I mean, common, you are sitting there for a...
