Well at first I thought I have to do Mathematics for th HSC because I want to get into B Commerce or Business but can I still get accepted if I do General?

I'm trying to studing for my SC trials and I'm looking at the past papers and I've realised that I really suck at Maths!!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance ;)

Depends what University you would like to attend. As far as I know, USyd is the only University that does not have actual prerequisites for their courses, only assumed knowledge. Do some research by looking at different University sites and the requirements of each course.

Well if you suck at maths i would stick with general. I did a term of mathematics before i realised it was too hard for me and dropped down.

100% agree with above. choose 2U and just drop it if its too hard. You will be annoyed if you didnt

highly recommend that you do 2 unit. Come on, how hard can it be? It will be easy if you are motivated. Work hard! Good luck!

Do 3 unit maths. come one, Im doing it..and you seem like a smarter person than me

if its between 2 unit and general, I recommend you do 2 unit... to do commerce in uni, 2 unit will help you more.

But as I said b4, do 3 unit maths!!!!!!!!! 100 people in my grade are doing it!

You just got awarded the "worst-post-on-this-thread award".

He obviously understands his own situation and academic capacity, it's not your position to go further and suggest 3 unit to those who is struggling. It's like offering you extension 1 english.

some people just aren't "maths people", nerdsforever. just because you're not a maths person doesn't mean you aren't smart. i would question why you're only doing general english, but that's just me. "how hard could it be?"

excuse me if that sounds a bit nasty, but i am in a fairly crappy mood.
