opinion:
i just had a read of the new syllabus and i realised it so easy now compared to ours like wtf
why are they spoon feeding the new generation? atp everyone should be able to do ext 2 since most of the new stuff is from yr11 ext 1 not even yr 12!!!

in the q & a session a question came up how they gonna deal with the central limit theorem
that's a year 12 thing and the focus so far is year 11 so in the video they said it isn't finalised and that bit hasn't even been written yet, but they predicted it will be a hand-wavy type of thing.
so not rigorous?
so not in keeping with the government commissioned stacey review of 1998:
Stacey, K., Dowsey, J., McCrae, B., & Stephens, M. (1998). Review of senior secondary mathematics curriculum. Sydney: NSW Board of Studies.
in which it recommended that content maintains rigour - to which the government responded with white paper accepting that recommendation - and no government since has rescinded that white paper
maintaining rigour is therefore something nesa has to do. it's not like they have a choice. they can give advice to the minister of education and the minister can act on that advice in accordance with the education act. but until and unless that white paper is rescinded, they have to maintain rigour.
so no hand-waving please
McGill University Dept. Epidemiology and Biostatistics have put up a somewhat more rigorous treatment of the central limit theorem with no handwaving whatsoever, but from a historical perspective:
so there u go
cambridge's breach of stacey review is now resolved

ok well that might me a bit over-kill but way back in post #1 we see the following question in the sample paper:
In a large school, the average amount of money spent per student per day at the 3 canteen is $8 with a standard deviation of 6.5.
At the end of each day, 50 randomly chosen students are asked how much they spent at the canteen on that day.
Use the standard normal distribution to find the probability that the sample mean on a particular day is greater than $10.
- and this might give some indication of what can reasonably be expected at this level for the clt.

the rest of the standard year 11 cambridge is up at https://issuu.com/cambridge3/docs/cambridgemaths_nsw_stage_6_mathematics_standard_y1 now, but no answers

? its probably the more applicable topic in the extension course. Whilst I personally hate it, its still very valuable irl.

At first I thought you were referring to the computing courses, where PHP is used in the context of web servers.
now there is updated version at https://issuu.com/cambridge3/docs/cms6_year_11_advanced_3rd_uncorrected_sample_pages
it has 1 more page

some chapters of ext 1 cambridge y 11 up now, ch 6, 11, 16, 17, 18
https://issuu.com/cambridge3/docs/cambridgemathsnsw_stage_6_ext1_y11_2ed_uncorrect
maybe they put the rest up later but dunno when

there will be new terry lee books, advanced and ext 1 early july 2025, ext 2 december 2025. interestingly this will contain the year 12 material too so this is updated now: https://4unitmaths.com/expected-publication-dates.pdf
publication date for new terry lee books has changed slightly.
originally it said for advanced and extension 1 it was early july 2025, but now it is june 24, 2025
so this got updated again: https://4unitmaths.com/expected-publication-dates.pdf
but it does mean they are already available.
it also means they are the first ones available in their final complete form.

not sure quite what happened but it seems there is a new version of cambridge standard y11 sample with 7 fewer pages
new version: https://issuu.com/cambridge3/docs/cambridgemaths_stage_6_standard_11_uncorrected_s
which came today
not sure what the 7 pages are, or if it's just a refinement resulting in fewer pages
not quite the update i was expecting.
i was hoping they put up more extension 1 chapters, but anyway that might come later

https://4unitmaths.com/expected-publication-dates.pdf updated because terry lee's extension 2 publication date was brought forward from december 2025 to early august 2025.
i'm glad they put that in
i've been arguing for years they shouldn't be doing the tildes
the tilde is for handwritten vectors, not typed vectors
this is made clear in new syllabus
textbooks and exams for current syllabus have the tilde quite a lot
but typing it with tildes in word or latex is difficult for a reason.
it's not a standard notation
nsw looks rather peculiar with all the typed vectors replete with uncustomary tildes
so to make this change makes it more consistent with what the rest of the world does
