Marks to aim for? (1 Viewer)

[Astonmate]

Hey guys I know this may seem a bit early in the day to be considering maths extension 2, but since I'll be starting year 11 next year (doing MX1), what sort of marks should I be looking at getting for Mathematics and Ex1 to even consider MX2?
Thanks

mathematics id say 85 +, MX1 65+

You also have to have a passion for maths so yeh, because the questions in mx2 are very "creative".

its not marks- its the ranks

yeh be like at the top 20% of your math and mx1 classes

I reckon to do ext2 you should probably fine 2 unit to be relatively easy towards the end of prelim and you should have a passion for maths.

Alright thanks. I know each school is different but if that's what I need to aim for then I should be able to achieve those results

Mmk so ranks and marks are pretty much equally important in year 11 then...?

What do you mean by creative? [/QUOT

I was wondering about that too... Maybe the long-winded and descriptive questions?
