So there hasnt been a stupid thread in a while so i decided to make one ;)

From hardest to easiest :
Harder 3u, Mechanics (maybe cos i havent really done enough practice tet but meh), Volumes (always make silly mistakes here), Complex numbers, the rest are equally easy hehe

Complex numbers is probably the easiest to understand but exam q's can be incredibly tricky and difficult
:(

harder 3 unit, conics, mechanics, complex numbers (exam questions), poly, volumes, graphs, integration

Harder 3 unit ---> [complex numbers, volumes, mechanics, conics] ---> [polynomials, graphs, integration]

yeah its basically physics, but i really like mechanics

how isn't it related to maths? Theres integration (resisted motion), trig and pythagoras in the other stuff.

harder 3 unit, then the other ones are pretty equal except,polynomials and graphs being probably the easiest.

Is harder 3 unit actually the hardest topic? I haven't started 4 unit yet, but harder 2 unit in 3 unit is pretty easy. But then again, it's 2 unit.

complex numbers has the potential to be the most lethal, especially some of the vector questions.

conics is not too bad guys.. first and 2nd or possible 3rd part of there questions are pretty easy.. its just the proving bit and the algebra manipulation.

thats all, its for conics.. at the end of the day conics is still a slut =]

Harder three unit is the worst, graphs is the easiest. In the middle its all about the same. Mechanics is a little harder for me, probably because we haven't finished it yet.

well considering that harder 3 unit is long but straightforward in everything except circle geo, which is a complete bitch, im gonna say...

mechanics, harder 3u, volumes, complex (exam q's), conics, graphs, polynomials

For me personally

Mechanics, Harder 3 unit, Conics, Complex Numbers, Volumes, Polynomials, Graphs, Integration.

However, I think that it is a personal question which will be answered according to peoples strengths and weaknesses.
