Hoping for 99+ :)

1. Yes, it is. Anyone who is sitting in a 4U classroom for a whole year will eventually be able to do it with practice and understanding. Stop putting the course on a pedestal. Why wouldn't any remotely good at maths not want to do it? I'm going to tell you a little background of myself; a few...

What makes it so difficult? Please spell that out for me. 4U requires heaps of effort, never denied that, but it is not "hard." There is no such thing in the world, not if you're willing to learn and prepared to understand new concepts. It is just a maths problem at the end, just treat it like...

It's not wrong. If we could get away with doing really, really horrible in Math Ext 2 and getting scaled up, pretty sure everyone would do it. There is no point in doing a subject out of your depth.

I do 4U. I'm in Year 12.

You are not understanding what I am saying; just because I said it's not as hard as people say it is doesn't mean it is not a lot of work. You can't afford to be lazy in MX2; you will find it easy only if you do the work behind it, otherwise it is just a waste of time.

No, it is never a good idea to do a subject because of the scaling. If you are horrible at Maths, it would make no sense to do the course just to get scaled up. You do the subjects you enjoy; the effort required to get 50 in Ext 2 is hardly the same as the effort required to get that same mark...

You can't afford to do that in Year 12. Yes, you could probably get away with all of that in junior years, even Year 11, but you can't afford to be lazy and not do enough questions for a course like 4U. You have to do as many as you possibly can. It's about PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE; that is...

Yes, technically it is the same "workload" as other 2U subjects, they probably won't give you 100 4U questions to do. The point is that the effort that is required for each question is much greater than for like an 2U question.

Yes, unless you are like, the God of Mathematics. If you start doing 4U, then IMO, you're going to have to start dedicating at least 50% of your study time to it, if not more. You have to make an consistent effort to keep up with your work; it is the same thing for any subject come HSC time, it...

I meant overrated in terms of difficulty. And yes , 4U carries a huge workload. I know about it, I dedicate about 60% of my study time on 3U and 4U stud. But yeah, like I said, if you hate Maths, you will find it hard. If you love Maths, you will be able to master it. Nothing is impossible...

Yes, you should try it out for yourself. Don't worry about what everyone has told you; everyone has their limits and capabilities. My advice is if you have a love for Maths, are good at algebra and calculus, and do constant revision/homework, then you will be fine. It's not something as horrible...

Yep, I am in Year 12; I have my trials coming up in a few days, so got to study for that.

I do Extension 1 and Extension 2 so basically I do 4 Unit. It is a LOT of work but if you can understand the concepts you will be surprised at how overrated the course is. Of course, however, if you don't make any effort to keep up with the work in class, if you are not doing consistent...

I agree with that. Maths is all about practicing; and grasping concepts, if you can do that, you can do 4U.

I never said I do 2U. I'm in Year 12 and I do 4U and I find it pretty easy, and I don't think I am God of Mathematics or anything, and I can't understand why people find it so difficult.

I am merely an average person in Mathematics, and I find it pretty easy. You just need to have a solid understanding of algebra and calculus. Nothing is hard in this whole world; it is all a matter of understanding. If you don't understand it, you can't do it, simple. And btw, I would...

Is it???
