dr du demotion/promotion (1 Viewer)

[dawn_13]

hii so i just started dr du and i’m currently in y10 a3. i was wondering how the demotion/promotion system works.

to pass the weekly quiz do you have to get over 50% or is the pass mark based on the class average? i’m pretty sure it’s that if you fail three quizzes you move down right? also does the first quiz results of the year count if you haven’t done dr du in the previous year??

how much do you need to move up a class? is this a set percentage or is it also based on class average??

thanks y’all

4 strike policy, immediate demotion if you get 4 fails e.g. absent, quiz fail incl non attempt, homework etc. you can also get termly demotion if your term average is below 60 percent for a2/a3 or 65 percent for a1 or bottom 10% of cohort. tho usually the bottom 10 percent are already below 60 percent.

promotion: 2 conditions to get promoted. 1. promoted if you get a quiz average of 90 or above after they remove the quiz score with the highest and lowest mark. They also dont count quizes when your late e.g. makeup oor online ones into your average. 2. Of those that get 90 or above the top 5-10 percent get promoted depending on class schedules and vacancies etc.

am like 90 percent sure they dont count your first quiz, it should be fine tho becasue they remove your lowest score and highest score when calculating average so if you get really bad it wont affect your average.

also idk if you know but theres hints in the desktop version of the dr du app to help with homework
i didnt know this whewn i started and homework took me very long since i started in the middl e of a topic

wait I hv a question, sorry I'm late to the discussion but does dr du use the same hw/quizzes every year cus rn I'm doing accelerated course there but I'm repeating next term for the year 10 course (they start yr 11 3u) and I was wondering if its gonna be too repetitive (pls note last time I did the course I was in a2, ill be now doing it in a1)

I'm not too sure but I know that different days get different quizzes so no cheating, so most likely you will get a different one.

If you understand the content, I don't really think it's a good idea to go back, considering the price as well and time (opportunity cost) but instead, just buy some resources instead.

Can you continue it as an accelerant w/o telling them you've moved back to the normal stream? hw has been the same since like 2020

no but they changed the course like they added networks for year 10 which is a completely new topic so wouldn't learning at the normal pace be better cus I'm learning w ppl my age and ngl the first time I did the 3u course for year 11 I barely understood like my avgs were 85 and 94 in a2 and then 91 and around 80 (this term) for a1 so like I thought it'd be better if I repeat

the main thing is i don't rlly understand the content esp cus for a1 year 11 3u i hv the dr du and he yaps abt physics and other useless stuff and does like one example question in a 2 hr 45 minute lesson that he also conveniently goes overtime by an hour in

No, not really. You have the opportunity to speedrun 3U and then refine from there. Significantly more beneficial than redoing terms worth of content for the sake of doing content with people your age. My school for example literally relies on math accelerants to carry their rankings each year. The only thing with it is that you NEED to make some sacrifice to other subjects in order to survive in the course. I for one learnt this the hard way, butttt as you are currently in yr 10 I think there's 0 point in repeating as you have heaps of time to work on your exam skills and how you can organise assessments. Your averages are good asw. In certain terms they scale marks as well since some topics are obviously harder to grasp conceptually than others. + think about the money you'd waste doing that. You're in yr 10, you should at least take this as an opportunity to get experience on what a hsc task would entail- ie the general environment of an assessment task for prelims/hsc
- sorry for the rant

Regarding the 4 strike policy, do video lessons count as ‘absences.’

asking for a friend in a3, do you guys know when promotion emails typically come out? staff told her it would be in the holidays but she already went to her first 4u lesson apparently and shes worried she didn't make the cut

also she has a roughly 92 average when the overall average is like 80 and highest is 97. do you guys know what her chances are like? i told her i dont have a clue but i was wondering if anyone here has any idea.

also is a3 really that bad? ive looked through the questions and it doesnt look too dissimilar bc the optional questions are identical to a1/2 questions depending on the topic. ik a lot of ppl say a3 isnt worth it but im not sure if i should tell her to go somewhere else if she doesnt make it

@Average Boreduser you've gone du right? do you have any thoughts

imo a3 the teaching is probably aight, just note I only did online when i lived rural so I wouldn't really know how f2f would be like. in terms of resources, ur better off doing past papers lmfao. the hw is jsut so off idk 8 pages is just not enough for the pace they set for the a classes

 

[Average Boreduser]

a3 online teaching was good imo. like obv not as engaged as the a1s and 2s topics but it gets the job done.

Tell her to sit out this term and redo the entrance exam. Just note she has to get 60+ for a2 and a1 is like 75 iirc

 

[iloveeggs]

hmm ok fair then

nah shes already paid for the term, also her parents are insane and wont let her quit tuitions or move to another one. i think she might get promoted based off her average tho, hopefully she makes it to a2 this term

a3 is only kinda bad cause you don't get many questions to do. a2 has like 12 pages and a1 has 16 pages
