No, I did advanced math for less than a term but I only did the topics of logarithms, indices, functions, trig. I think NESA designed physics to be doable by a standard student, but knowledge on functions did come in useful.

Oh bc a girl in my class changed subjects from physics to hms (pe new syllabus) bc she doesnt take calculus in std n that made it harder for her to keep up

From a class of 17 only 3 do adv, 1 does std (other than the girl that dropped) and the rest (including me) do ext

Calculus...I mean for me the reason I dropped advanced was to pursue the study through edrolo to be less stressful/work heavy, whilst still learning the content. Does your school have Edrolo? I think that would've been useful for her.

But we have never used calculus in physics, apart from the saying 'dipping your toes in the water' as we just touched surface level with the concept of tangent/gradient and integral/area of graphs.
