Hi all, Okay, so I admit that "Maths department hates 2U students" is a bit of an overstatement but its not far from the truth. I feel like the 2U students are not being adequately prepared for assessment tasks and are given a bit of a '2nd class citizen' treatment. We're not being prepared...

Does anyone know if

This question has been asked so many times, but how does one get a 90+ in the UMAT? Are there any tips you could give me? Is starting to study for it now too late, because I only finalised what I wanted to do very recently? How should you go about studying for it? Please help, someone!

Thanks for the motivation :) I'm praying that this term I can pull my socks up. Wish me luck!

Hi all, So, I'm currently getting back marks for my assessments I did in Term 4 and 2 subjects (Maths 2U, English Adv) are very poor and one of them is meh (Chemistry). I feel so downtrodden and just so depressed and keep thinking that I've screwed up any chances of getting a good atar...

Quizlet!

I can't really pinpoint what exactly I 'struggle' with. I have never really struggled in class or with understanding any concepts, but like I said, somehow cannot reciprocate this in tests.

Hi all, Throughout this whole year, I've not been doing very well in chemistry, which is a pity because its interesting and I understand the concepts really well but somehow cannot reciprocate this in tests. Currently I'm getting marks in the 60s and am coming about 16/30 rankwise. Because of...

Lol its more tons of reading XD I don't mind it though, history is so interesting. However, the subject is hard.

I don't really mind chem, but it is quite hard. Its interesting and all, but I'm not sure if I can deal with the difficulty. Currently I'm about in the middle of my cohort.

I understand everyone's hatred of english but um... it really is my best subject atm XD

Does anyone else do the same subjects as myself (Prelim/HSC)? In order of how well I'm doing in them: English Advanced (:awesome:) Maths Biology Chemistry Modern History Maths EXT 1 (will drop) Please share your experiences and how you're going!

That's what I've heard from a lot of people. Whilst doing General Maths now might get you the ATAR, it will in no way help out during uni (I mean come on, they do area and perimeter!) I have decided to do 2U because Ext 1 is just far too difficult and too much work just for that one unit. Maths...

The only way I can fully study is if I convince myself I will fail (depressing I know), but this will spur you on to do work.

thanks guys :) I've decided to drop maths extension, but only at the end of year 11, hopefully some of the content I've learnt in extension this year with help me with 2u next year!

Well, term 1 is drawing to a close and I am getting back all my assessments and such back. And I've done horribly! Considering we don't do yearlies or half yearlies (dunno how those exams work) these assessments count for 20-30% of my grade. And the depressing thing is, I thought I did okay! I...

lucky go don't go to an assessment based school then, you have so much free time. For me its: 4-4:45 Free time (including getting home, changing, unpacking bag, eating a snack) 4:45- 7: Get all my homework, class tasks etc. done 7:00-7:15 Eat dinner 7:15-7:30 Shower 7:30-8:30 Piano...

tbh even finding evidence for modern is hard sometimes so idk how people do ancient find stuff

Meh, its not any more or less than last year, but then again my school made Year 10 super hard so that we were prepared for Year 11.... Doing English Adv, Maths Ext 1 (crying inside), Biology, Chemistry (derp), Modern History and Catholic Studies. Also, any advice for someone who only has...

I'm in Year 11 atm and doing extension 1 maths. I really don't enjoy it, and some aspects are really challenging for me. In all honesty, I'm not a great maths student. The only reason why I'm doing maths extension is because the teachers said to choose either Ext 1 or General instead of 2U due...
