You should try the 3u course, considering your still in year 10 and you are accelerating I presume? You have time to correct your mistakes etc.

In 3u, you learn mathematical induction, furthur circle geometry, umm what else. I'm not sure what's in the 2u course, but you learn some extra topics in the 3u course, plus furthur topics in some/most of the 2u course.

Basically, the new stuff would be induction, circle geometry, parametrics, permutation and combinations, inverse trigonometry and binomial theorem, the jist of the new topics in extension 1 maths.

Just do it. Who cares, it's not like you *have to* keep it anyway You can always try it and drop it later if you really think you can't handle it, what have you got to lose?

well that is true .. im just not really into coming out of my comfort zone .. 2u im really fine with and ii find it as a fun subject for yrs 11 & 12. but when ii think of 3u ii really dont think ii can do it. my teacher keeps telling me that ii should choose something that ii can get high marks in rather than choose a subject that ill do meh in ><" so yeahh .. ii dunos ><"

At least attempt the subject, if you find that you cannot copw with it after a while then drop the subject. You sound like you are fine with the 2 unit course and as such you should be able to focus on extension 1 maths a bit more, which will let you do better in it

hmm yeahh ii think ii will .. ill also look through the 3u textbooks and like see and yeahh .. =/ ahah .. thanks soulsearcher =]

 

[sle3pe3bumz]

ii need to kick the habit as well. ii'm trying, but ii just can't seem the stop.

lol ? is that sarcasm ii hear ? im not sure .. AHHAHA .. = ="

 

[muttiah]

if u practice maths everyday and study properly.. do homeowrk and DONT fall behind.. u can even do 4 unit maths.. the senior leevl maths is different to junior level...

She doesn't do the ii in "im" and you need some smilies like ><" and =] that she often uses

sle3pe3bumz: agreed with SoulSearcher, just try it out at the least.

hmm .. it sounds easy enough .. although ii dont think it is ><" umm well .. like ii said .. as much as id love to do 4u, its just really out of my reach right now ><" & i'd have to agree with you on that .. junior level maths SUCKS ! ><" .. arghh .. its so stupid ! LOL ..

AHAHA .. omgg .. ii feel as if you've known me my whole life Riviet ahah .. my friends wouldnt even know that ! XD

hmmm yeah ii think ii will go & try the 3u .. as everybody says, ive got nothing to lose ! =] all ii have to do is try get my teacher to support me ! ^^"


btw .. the people who do 3u. do they actually have to know like some of the 2u course in year 10 to get into the 3u course ? or like do some just start fresh from the 2u course & also do the 3u course ?

& when people say they study like 3 hrs/day does that also incl. just hw ? or it just is the hw ? LOL ? its just been on my mind a few times .. ahaha .. thanks guys ^^

 

[airie]

I haven't even *seen* a 2u textbook, even as of now. And when you do 3u, you just get a 3u textbook that kinda integrates the 2u knowledge into the course

I don't know about others, but I certainly don't study for 3h every day, everything included Then again, I'm lazy XP

homeowrk and they do advanced stuff... trial papers etc

 

[ronaldinho]

do u do advanced or intermediate maths? if u do advanced.. at the beginning of year 11 u do year 10 basic stuff.. like algebra etc.. then u start doing new things... like calculus etc..

Well, usually people would start off with the knowledge they have in their year 9 and 10 courses, so basically they start off fresh, the first topic is introductory algebra, I think anyway, so it just starts off from there

As for the study, I would assume it woulld be study only, not including homework, although I wouldn't know about that, because I can't even study an hour a night

.. oh okaaay .. hmmmms ..

LOLS ! .. so if ii was to ask how much time you spend on school a day .. like study, hw .. just for an average day .. what would you guys say ? diff. thoughts would be very appreciated .. ^^

lol its not easy.. procastination is da biggest killoer of hsc students :S! its a disease i tells ya!!!

ahahah .. yeah thats what ive been told ><" ii should really get into really good habits shouldnt ii ?

hmmms .. so it does incl. homework ?

do u do advanced or intermediate maths? if u do advanced.. at the beginning of year 11 u do year 10 basic stuff.. like algebra etc.. then u start doing new things... like calculus etc..

ii do advanced maths .. & algebra im fully capable of .. actually very fun .. ^^ LOL

hmm .. so what actually seperates the people going into 2u & the people going into 3u ? is there much of a difference ?

& LOL! .. ahah .. maaaan .. but your so smart ! LOL xD

1 hour a day, at most, unless I'm cramming for an exam You should be doing more that this, for sure :uhhuh:

ahahah .. yeah thats what ive been told ><" ii should really get into really good habits shouldnt ii ?

You should have some good study habits, indeed you should

Well, basically ability and effort. I've seen people who are definately capable of doing well in 3 unit fail because they just don't put in the effort.
Not that smart

hmm .. so your saying almost anybody could do 3u maths, but it just depends on their effort ? is 3u maths very time consuming ? do people find it more of a priority than the other subjects ?

& yes you are very smart ! ><"
