well, we just did an exam to see if we qualify and now we have our half-yearlys coming up. We're doing parabola at the moment but we skipped a chapter on geometry b/c i think the teacher wants to link like algebraic type chapters. So far we've done four chapters in our textbook.

the guy hasnt even said what textbook he's using......different textbooks = different number of chapters.

my class still has trig graphing/differentiation and physical apps of calculus to do in the 2U course. and theres still further physical apps, inverse functions and binomial theorem to do.

just a tip....if u find that ur class is too slow, just go ahead and do it urself in ur own time.

for kulazzi......did u just start the accelerated course this year? at my school, we started in yr9 (doing yr10 work), and in yr10 we did the prelim. work. r u doing prelim. or hsc work now?

btw. what textbooks are u guys using?

i use maths in focus.....well, we're supposed to, but the teacher photocopies other stuff...

queenie......whats the standard like at ruse? is the lowest mark generally around 90% or something? i always have the impression that lowest ruse students are actually the highest at other schools
:)

our teacher was going quickly and we're still only up to trig diff. - but then again, we only had 4 periods of maths a week last year.
and i get another chance to do it anyway.

what did u guys get in the prelim yr in maths and ext 1?

I'm doing Ext. one.
We've done three chapters and are almost finished a fourth. We're doing trig.
I go to Murray High school which is a country high school.
I hope to do Ext. 2 next year

Shuttup Queenie - Just because you go to Ruse doesn't mean that you are better then other people. I may point out that Ruse is now a lowly 5th in demand for Selective Schools, so don't get all high about it.

You do 9 periods of 80 mins every 2 weeks? So what? I do 9 Periods of 40 mins per week. I have Maths everyday, you don't. SO who cares?

The only reason Ruse does well in the HSC collectively is because you steal 30 of the top students from other Schools to come into yours. Not to mention the amount of work you do. I know several people at Ruse and they all tell me all the do is study.

So even after all that if you didn't do well in the HSC then that would be pretty pathetic.

Build a bridge and get over it.
