What is your definition of comfortable doing? If you mean band 6 then yes majority of them without tutoring would be comfortable doing.

able to spend an amount of time that is not obscene and score 85%+. <an hour a day sounds about right for what is meant to be 2 units.

Lmao I don't think 1 hour per day is not long enough for 4U. But yea Id confidently bet that the kids doing 4U were correctly chosen. So yes, I think they would be able to confidently do 4U. Also even if you spent a ton of time cause you cant understand the topic straight away but came 1st due to hard work. Does it really matter?

if you're spending a lot of time, you're forcing something, i.e. not comfortably doing. what I am saying is that the amount of people who do 4u far exceeds what it should be limited to. people should not be forcing themselves to do something due to clout, e.g., "i do 4u I'm so cool, big atar boy."

I will agree that is a big issue, especially at my school, but tbh its really none of our business why people do certain subjects.
there's something about people forcing themselves to do maths against their will that just doesn't seem right.

then again, I think restrictions on letting who do the subject is also very stupid.

free entrance, more dropping, less clout should be what happens.
perhaps just remove 4u maths. personally I think it's a bit much to introduce as an available high school course in Australia. if you want to learn this content in your own time, that's fine. but regimenting what is essentially uni content into high school seems kinda off.

Honestly there are many pros and cons to what your suggesting, so I think its best to just leave it as is and let people do whatever they want. Also yea restrictions kinda stupid but eh cant do anything about it.

yo what's good man, also elaborating on why not to drop, does it scale well? would it compensate for me not making 4u thru its scaling ? LMAO
