Ahh I see. If you want to increase your maths marks for the final exams, doing more exercises and past papers might be a good idea. I'm sure you know that, though.

Your school seems so strict! A lot of schools let you choose completely so surely you can negotiate with them? Your priority would be getting into adv maths and maybe even chem, if you want to do med.

Alright I'll take that into account. Thank you for your advice!

Yess that is quite true, but I feel like most uni subjects only need adv or ext 1 maths?? I should also mention my other problem, which is that I have 12 units (including 4U) and I'm not really planning on dropping any of them, so 4U just seems like extra effort sometimes.

I dropped it :oldfrown:

We're starting with complex numbers, which doesn't seem too hard for the time being but is incredibly tedious. I'm more worried about the later topics. Yeah I did hear that people tend to fail the first assessment, but I just worry that to recover in the later terms it might take too much time...

For year 11 at least, I don't think it's necessary. Personally, the Pearson Dixon/O'Mahony textbook gave me all the info and skills I needed, along with a bit of reading the news and Plain English Economics (I think someone posts a copy of that each time a new one comes out) to supplement it...

Is the Handmaid's Tale a common choice? I feel like it would be

Hmm alright I'll see how I go with that, thanks

Most of my peers have already learned the content before so they can whiz through the exercises, but I've got to learn everything on the spot which slows me down. Of course, tutoring means more homework overall though.

I recently posted about 4U and I've decided to keep it for now, but now there's another problem. I'm only a few lessons in and I'm already overloaded with hw (3U and 4U). I'm a bit slow because I don't go to tutoring, but I'm spending hours after each lesson figuring out the content and doing...

Hi is anyone able to answer this but with bio and eco?

I think bio takes a lot of time and effort to be able to do well, so if you don't like it, it probably wouldn't be wise to do it. If you enjoy SaC then you should keep it! Having a one-on-one with the teacher would actually be reallyyyy good in terms of learning, despite it being a bit awkward...

Thanks, I have noticed that the maths in physics is kinda different

Our school is so bad at physics compared to other subjects that it is a mortal sin, and I didn't think I could bear another lesson...

Nahh at least you're done! I'm sure you're fine. Good luck for 3U

Thanks for the advice! That does make sense since I don't hear many people comparing 4U to physics. I'll probably keep it for now. Also, you do accelerated 4U? That's crazy

Sorry I can't help but I just want to say that your handwriting is incredible

Hey, so I picked up 4U maths this term because I was doing well in 3U and wanted a challenge. In contrast, I was only averaging in physics (although partly because my teacher is extremely boring) so I dropped it, and I thought I was rid of it until I realised that 4U ALSO HAS A TON OF PHYSICS...
