MATH question (1 Viewer)

Hey i want to ask roughly how much time you suggest for study regarding 2u math and what are the hardest topics.

i am an able student who can achieve mid 90s with hard study, hardly ever >95. and can always achieve >70, study or not. so can anyone suggest me an study routine for achieving consistent 90s in 2u and what are the hardest topics?

thx

Firstly, how difficult are your exams? Getting 90+ is not hard if your exam is really easy. At the same time, someone who claims to be an able student may not be able to get over 70 in an assessment set by another school. You should address this first and see if you are really an able student. This is really important because the HSC is the standard of the state. Possibly, your 90+ marks are really just a 70 in the HSC exam, so bear in mind the 'quality' of the assessment.

Hardest topics are subjective and amount of time for study is dependent on the person and the effectiveness of study. Repeatedly doing questions you know how to do is 'probably' useless. Spending time on a complex, multi-part question and figuring out the best and other methods of solving the question 'may' be more useful.

For the exams you get above 90 but not above 95, address that issue as well. It's probably exam technique and 'silly' mistakes.

^This. I got over 90% in all my Extension 2 internals, but come to HSC and I'll be lucky to get above 64% raw.
