My sister makes 4U Maths sound like the hardest thing on Earth, and here you are making it sound easy. I think I'm getting some false hope as well ...
Of course lol. It's the hardest subject offered in the NSW HSC syllabus.

That depends on individuals, don't you think? ;)

I reckon Visual Arts is the hardest subject. Either that or Industrial Technology. I have also seen many people complaining about English and how difficult they are despite being extremely good at Mathematics. *Cough* "Foram!!!" * Cough*

o.bi.sess, no i dont go to St. G unfortunately, i go to another fine educational institution which has a school song that goes along the lines of "red! green! yellow! blue! harmony and friendship, too!! years of loyalty will [rit.] staaaaand. byyyy. yooooooooou." in regard to the CoS, i've been recently talking to groaning gertrude & i think i'm onto something.
You have a giant chess board too?! *quirks eyebrows* That's kinda freaky. And here I thought my old principal was the only one crazy enough to insist on it. Nice to know that the "insanity" is not isolated.

hi everyone,
i need help to choose my maths course.

hey,
i say just do it. you have nothing to lose! just keep more than 10 units so you have room to drop it if you find it too hard! that's what i did and i was pleasantly surprised to find 4u not too bad...

good luck ;)

to Doctor Jolly: GO SWANNIES! too bad about the injuries and the game last night... at least st kilda, collingwood and brisbane all lost so top 4 isnt threatened, but what a missed chance, we could be 2 and 1/2 games infront!

Maybe he's more right brained, than left. Left brainers tend to be able to home in on their visual and creative side more than the mathematical and rational side of the right.

contrary to what others say, I dont think that just by trying hard will get you the results you want. people might say hard work brings result, but it doesnt always apply. I know people who spend 6 hours a day on maths, after selecting 4u, only to be confronted with a dissapointing result.

and you have to see what school you're from. If you rank 10th in a school which comes 100th in the state, then it doesnt really mean much anymore.

If you really want to try, i suggest putting some solid effort into it, then if you really cant handle it, then drop it before its too late

That's kind of unfair, to be judging the school.

True. Also, ranking 10th in a Top 100 school is still pretty good. I mean, I reckon you'd still get a band 6 and UAI over 90 if you were 10th at a top 100 school.
Yeah, our school was like 175th in my year, and we still had about 20 people getting over 90 UAI, and about 6 on 89 UAI.

please understand that 4unit maths is ALOT of work.

it will require lots of consistent work, and seeing that you are not doing exceptionally in 3u, i fear you will probably drop out.

It's still somewhat of an indicator nevertheless - there's no point in denying it. It's pretty much safe to say that someone who came 10th in a Top 10 school is probably better than someone who came 10th in a school ranked 100.
