Do it if you actually like maths.

I find 4u a lot different from 3u.

3u bores me, but 4u is actually pretty interesting, so I'm doing better in 4u :S

Don't let ur 3u mark put u down.

I love Maths, but the teacher doesn't know that I like it. (I bludge in class!)

I think you should take Extension 2 Maths if you enjoy it and are capable of solving complex problems (in other words, your marks aren't absolutely horrendous in Ext. 1).

I was thinking of doing 4 unit, but I got 93% for my 3 unit half yearly and my teacher said I should not do it. However, I really want to do it so I am going to contact the Board of Studies.
I got 81% for my 3 unit yearly and I still did 4 unit. So don't worry about it too much, a lot of the time you just can't be bothered revising even simple things in yr 11. That changes once u get to year 12.

As long as you think ur capable u shuld be fine

But isn't 93% for 3U a very good mark? Don't understand why you are being discouraged from doing 4U.
It's a good mark (3rd place), but I bludge in class, and the teacher doesn't think I am serious about Maths. I really want to do it. I'll contact the Board of Studies if I don't get in, or I'll speak to the head teacher, because I don't think the teacher can stop me just because she thinks I don't have the "oomph" for Maths. Or can they stop you even if your marks are good?

Favouritism comes into play so much when you want to pick up Extensions!!! grrrrrrrr.......
