    What is the hardest Maths Extension 2 topic?

    yep, my benefit was definetely almost entirely conceptual. but also, the connections between displacement, velocity and accel and physical systems like pulleys were really hard to grasp for me in year 11, so I think people who go into MX2 with no physics have trouble, as they also have to apply...

    Can 65% raw mark for ext 1 math this year scale to e4?

    That's some cool stats. Knowing the difficulty of the 4u exam this year, seems like they pushed harder in 2021 but wanted to test the limits of the syllabus this year. 3u seemed fairer but harder compared to the last years. I would say the jump from 2020-2021 4u could be comparable to 2021-2022...

    Mathematics Extension 1 HSC thoughts

    while lots of people are saying that it was D for the 'it could be 2' question; I genuinely think that the question was worded terribly. 'It could be 2' is literally a non-answer, because then, it could also be 1, and it could also be 3. So in essence, 'it could be 1' and 'it could be 2' are the...

    How important is it to read the book?

    ehhh depends how good you are at essay writing. it should really be called 'essay studies', because they don't really gaf about your actual evidence but rather your ability to coherently write in a professional, essay format. I never read the crucible through, I never read the tempest, or T.S...

    Can 65% raw mark for ext 1 math this year scale to e4?

    most likely. we are just students, impossible to tell. 2021 was easier then 2022, but not by a looong shot (see mx2 for an example of what a huge gap in difficulty is). fingers crossed!!!!

    Today's 2022 Maths Advanced Paper

    from the reactions here and from peers i've talked to, the general consensus seems to be that the exam this year was easier than last years. i distinctly remember leaving the exam last year feeling quite terrible (I did end up getting a 97 exam). So you can confer from that that the scaling...

    Maths Extension 2 Thoughts and Feelings

    all i'm saying is all my homies hate NESA. A few details on the exam: 1. NESA decided to write a whole essay about a lift system. Noone cares. Thanks for confusing everyone with your spiel. 2. Question 16 was largely undirected besides the mechanics question. Literally stupid. 2021 and 2020 were...

    Maths Extension 2 Thoughts and Feelings

    I felt as though that was way harder than 2020 and 2021. Multiple choice was pretty difficult, and from question 14 onwards many of the questions felt very abstract.

    New Rankings.

    The reason they used NAPLAN writing is because they found that the NAPLAN writing section was the highest indicator of performance in the HSC. However, this is incredibly stupid and correlation doesn't = causation. Honestly though, it makes sense. That's what happens when you make two units of...

    Mathematics Extension 2 Predictions

    yeah, I've heard that post-high school that exponential form is far more universal. But for clarity's sake in marking and representation, I feel that cis(theta) is better for general case questions, while exponential form can be useful visualising algebraic manipulation in complex numbers questions.

    How is everyone revising for 4u maths?

    been doing two-three papers a day, noticing my weakness, and then spending the time in between the two trials focusing on specific techniques.

    Sr potential?

    Yeah, if you 100ed CSSA raw that's pretty insane, and you have a decent chance. What might mess you up is your school, but as long as you get those kind of marks externally I reckon you could do it. Good luck.

    Sr potential?

    100% in trials to me indicates a few things (along with the fact you only have three classmates): either your exams are non-standardised (school-written exams), and your exams are easy, OR you are a genius, and get 100% in every exam. It is highly unlikely you will get 100% raw in externals...

    Mathematics Extension 2 Predictions

    Real talk. :) if you are cis(theta) gang. :( if you are exponential gang. :mad: if you are Cartesian form gang. cis(theta) is the only right answer, and the only one that is correct. why? because cis(theta) is easier to read, graphically easier to understand, and has very nice properties of cos...

    Mathematics Extension 2 Predictions

    My problem with inequalities is how examiners expect you to just brute force all the possibilites of AM-GM a thousand times until one niche interpretation of their question works. It isn't a test of mathematical ability and maturity, but rather feels like a question which expects rote learning...

    just no inequalities please. inequalities is just guessing. no inequalities = im happy. give me anything but inequalities. give me sin 50x de-movires for all i care.

    How should I prepare for Extension 2 Maths?

    Howard is okay; definitely some weird questions here and there where it seems like non-NESA style questions, but this is to be expected for a textbook written by a single person. I watched lots and lots of Eddie Woo videos, and completed the entirety of complex numbers in two weeks with his...

    Anyone else burnt out/exhausted

    I like T.S Eliot. He's just an edge lord, that's all. He was also likely a facist or a facist sympathiser, at the least. If you look at some of his poetry's anti-semitism, as well as his connections to multiple known facists.... then... y'know. Margaret Atwood's 'Hag-seed' is categorically a...

    How many marks would you lose for not including the extract in mod a part of paper 2?

    I think if you completely avoided it, 16 would be fairly generous. That would mean the marker believed that you approached the question at a HIGH B level, when you didn't use the stimulus whatsoever. Probably 14 and below - but if you touched on the concepts and inquiries present in the extract...
