4 u english vs 4 u maths (1 Viewer)

[pri]

which is harder 4 u eng or maths?\

I say maths but thats only cos I really suck at it, (i do 3u maths), but I find all 4 units of english are easy as pie, a lot of work but not hard

What do u lot think?

I thought I might add, I go to a selective school where it is the norm to do at least one extension subject, in case this post sounds weird to sum ppl.

my school doesn't even offer 4U english, but if they did i doubt that anyone could handle it..

4 unit english is by far the hardest cause you gotta be creative and original.

All you have to do in 4 unit maths is memorise a few equations and know formulae/rules for different situations. Anyone with a good memory will ace maths.

4 english by far.

dammit.

 

[MiuMiu]

it soooooo depends on the person

 

[bobo123]

i think 2unit english is hard enough

 

[Ollz San]

oh, I gotta agree with YEAR12 there.
It depends on the person.

I like English better. So I think 4U English is not as hard as 4U Maths because I enjoy English whereas I do not enjoy Maths thus Maths would feel harder to me.

Im with ya buddy but it really does depend on the person, Im more of a mathsy science person so Id naturally go for maths

Just a Q, is anyone insane enough to do both, and so then be able to pass any useful insight onto this thread?

. There is more even to the absorption of algorithms than memorisation, and 4U maths can and does require you to be innovative.

I think we should be clear on what we mean by "difficulty", everyone's different. If we

a) talk about it in terms of the amount of time a person of reasonable aptitude needs to invest in it to do well

b)then do a cost-benefit analysis given that 4U maths is worth 2 units and makes 3U and 2U a breeze, but for most another unit of English is essential to get a decent set of 10 units

then I think 4U English is better for people who need to chuck out Eng Adv units because it needs less time than 4U maths, assuming that the cost of having a possibilty of a weaker subject than 4U maths is outweighed by the benefit...

This is too complicated, I think it's best if everyone makes up their own mind based on their own needs

I would say that the Ext 2 English course inst too hard at all. BUT: Advanced English is a considerable amount of work, and Ext English is essesntially the same as Advanced, except the standard is MUCH higher ...

Maths is just a matter of undersatnding and application. A matter of doing problem after problem after problem. I would say much more time consuming, much more boring and much more frustrating.

THUS: I do 4english and 3maths. I struggle in maths, not so in english. So, I am biased.

The answer is truely in the person him/herself.

u r sooooo wrong abt that ......... 4u maths is a lot more than applying formulae. its abt realising when n where to apply those formulae which is not easy, i tell u !

I agree with that, 4u is also about how maths works as well as formulae

 

[Rahul]

u have to know ur stuff really well
