I started studying our first topic for next term year 12 --> which is polynomials which i've realised that i don't find it difficult and i am able to follow. I find it much easier than year 11 polynomial work << which i was having alot of difficulty to which i haven't fixed.

Would i really need to go back and figure out the year 11 polynomial content? orr idk :/
I'm just really lazy. Year 11 polynomials didn't really study enough with it, because i was absent a few days and such

Yes.

HSC exam covers both preliminary and HSC work.

yeaaasss... i wish this was the only polynomials for both year 11 and 12 :(
Dw, they ask easier polynomial questions in yr 12 compared to yr 11. I suggest you study now since your exams are next term. I was lucky my ext 1 tasks did not start after the 5 wk holiday so take a break in the big break and begin studying towards the end of the holiday.

Looking at this years year 12 assessment booklet they did not have an extension exam till term 1 .. so hopefully same as you >.> & thanks ^__^

If you also failed the prelim finals like I did, it gets better next year.

hopefully we haven't gotten our results back since we did them last week of school, what other subjects do you do?
Eng adv, 2u/3u math, chem, phys, Eco, sor

I recommend doing/trying ext 2 math as it will be make ext 1 child's play.

Definitely review over year 11 polynomials - past HSC exams cover both prelim + HSC content.
Reviewing over year 11 polynomials shouldn't take too long. It's mainly just factor theorem, remainder theorem, graphing, long division, finding their zeroes, in correlation with their geometry. It should somewhat supplement the year 12 concepts of Newton's method, halving the interval, etc.

Overall OP, just recap the year 11 aspect of polynomials - it shouldn't take too long.

I got the basic parts of each of the theorem, but there were questions that just mindfcked me :( but yeah is that only in hsc & trials that the year 11 component comes in or is in assessments too like during the year the yr 11 parts?
