Have you completed the preliminary extension and 2U courses? If you are studying them concurrently, then that might explain your difficulties with 4U at this stage. My son studied preliminary HSC in Yr 8, 2U in Yr 9 and 3U in Yr 10, so when he did 4U in Yr 11, he already had the full foundation...

From my daughter’s HSC class of 2015, there are two engineering graduates who did not study 4U maths at all, but they got through engineering at Uni. Another student did study the whole 4U curriculum (attended all the classes & completed all assessments) but chose to sit the 2U paper on the day...

Looks like Mr Lee has more recently authored maths textbooks.

Since coaching colleges send medical students into UMAT/ UCAT exams specifically to access their question banks and employ same medical students as coaches for med school interviews despite applicants having signed nondisclosure agreements, I am sceptical about their position on ‘copyrighted...

This is my tip after decades of learning (which I‘ve passed on to my kids and they’ve found very effective) - when you first learn something, make sure you fully understand everything about what you are learning. If you don’t fully understand, chances are there are/is gap(s) in your knowledge at...

My interpretation of OP’s post & thread title is that she is currently doing extension 1 maths in Yr 11 and is seeking advice on whether she should try to get into her school’s future MEx2 class for Yr 12. OP, most of the posts in this thread are encouraging you to do so, and as advised, so...

That was exactly my son’s position in Yr 11 as a MEx2 accelerated student. He had 147/150 by sitting Adv maths in Yr 9 and MEx1 in Yr 10. For his time line, it was worth while to sit MEx2 in Yr 11 as there really wasn’t much to lose, but when he didn’t achieve a state rank as he’d hoped, he...

Since you enjoy maths and are doing reasonably well, it’s worth the try. Do close any gaps you have though. Are you providing or receiving the 4 hours of maths tuition? If the latter, then you should have ample opportunity to ask your tutor to clear up any questions you have. Maths Extn 2...

Yes, it’s the same question. The ionic species are in dissolved in the aqueous solution and the solid state of each metal is uncharged.

The equation to calculate the force between two parallel conductors is: F / l = μ I1 I2 / 2πr or by rearrangement F = l μ I1 I2 / 2πr = 3f F/ l is the force per unit length between two parallel conductors, I1 and I2 are the currents through each wire, μ and π are constants and r is the...

As most students know, it’s not just medical students who sit these UCAT exams but also those applying for dentistry and some of the other allied health degrees. What is less well known is that, because there’s no restriction on who sits these exams, there are a whole lot of other people sitting...

This is a link to a web page which explains this very well: https://mammothmemory.net/physics/magnets-and-electromagnetism/electromagnetism/drop-a-magnet-through-a-solenoid.html Nothing further to add to the web page’s explanation.

I’m not suggesting no preparation effort should be made (my eldest went through the three practice papers that were made available by the UMAT organisers so that she knew what to expect), but several years of extensive coaching shouldn’t be required for what is intended to be an aptitude test.

The number doesn’t really make all that much difference - all the students in the top schools have already been sitting it for the past two decades. Now there are more selective & independent schools and everyone in these schools also sit it, but the top thousand students are the ‘real...

See my response to Pethmin.

No doubt many students benefit from greater preparation, but actually these questions are intended to select for students with natural abilities in deductive reasoning and inference such that the school curriculum should provide a sufficient foundation for the UCAT. In a recent thread on...

The large majority of selective school students and top private school students were already sitting it in 2015, so I don’t see how the competition could have increased significantly.

Whilst it is hard to read the graph because there are no labelled markers on the time axis and the ‘5.0’ and ‘10.0’ are in such big lettering (to me it actually looks closer to 4 cycles in 10 milliseconds), nevertheless, only option A is anywhere close in magnitude to the correct frequency...

There were about 4000 students who sat for UMAT in 2015. I don’t think the candidature has changed all that much in eight years. My daughter was one of only two students from her school, so her English teacher (who had previously taught at JRAHS) joked with her that when she taught at JRAHS, on...

OP has already made up his mind not to pursue medicine, so this is academic, but, the original point of UMAT/UCAT was to assess aptitude for a career in medicine, so it was supposed to be something you should do on the side. My eldest wasn’t really sure she should do medicine and I wasn’t keen...
