5 periods of maths on monday!!!!!!!!!!:eek:
im getting my timetable tomorrow, so hopefully my 4unit maths doesn't ruin my timetable!

Anyway, +GriM ReApeR+, I also believe you should give it a go. I mean, the fact that your considering doing it must mean that you have some talent in maths. And if after a few weeks or something, you hate it, then drop it! :) What do you have to lose?

ask your teacher for their opinion, it is important to hear what they think of you.

if you doing well in ext1 80++, give it a try. ask yourself if you like maths and willing to do it everydays, if yes, then do it.

i started complex number earlier this week, it is pretty interesting and fun.

yeah if u have a lot of time and are DEVOTED and COMMITTED to study for 4 unit maths.. then do it :) its like doing two subjects.. thats how heavy the work is.. u have to constantly revise and do excercises.. minimal 2 hours a night... its a fucking challenge trying to keep up with 4 unit maths and 8 other units... its up to you.. if ur commited to study and KNOW ur going to do well.. then take advantage of the scaling system of 4 unit.. if u knwour going to slack off.. then dont do it at all..

no - wait wait..
first of all.. first of all, it's NOT two hours a night minimal. Kimmeh must be pretty scary if she does that much work.
when u first start - it does seem like 2/night (geez it seems like 5) but after a while u get used to it and it gets better. But she's right when it's like doing 2 subjects.. but yeah.. drop ur units down.
second - the scaling is quite scary. It is very good. If u work at it, then u'll get some exciting results.
third - u need to take note, it is a HARD subject - none of this dot-point memorising crap in ur sciences, or waffling in eco. it is hard. but it's rewarding.

finally - make up ur mind.. if u wanna start, don't fall behind everyone else =P

good luck =)

many would think otherwise.
how fair would it be to say that a person doing say 4u maths got 60% raw and another person foin subject x [ like an 'easy' subject, and everyone knows what i am talking about] and getting 60% in that.
thats the basis for the 'uber' scaling.

4unit english is only just a MRP with a reflection statement or something... nowhere near as much work as 4unit maths

4unit maths is realli hardcore stuff...

hey guys, just thought I would let you know:
1. I have no frees. :(
2. I have 3 periods of maths on Monday.. in a row

Other than that... :rolleyes:

My 4u teacher said that we don't have enough textbooks to give to us, because the year 12 are using them, so we have to work from sheets for a term!! Sheets.. hahaha

I had one 4u math lesson so far. I died. It was uni lecture style; teachers just talk and u copy w/e u want. but then when u try to copy, they finish talkin bout somefin and switch overheads and im like FCUK and everyone looks at me. :rolleyes: And its scary cos like, the teachers just say "these chapters r relevant, do em if u wanna" and call that h/w and ur faced with a dilemma of doin it or not.

other than that, everyone is also dieing in 4u, so its all relative. I see alot of idiots in my class too, so thats a plus for my rank. :D

4u english however, seems pretty relaxing, i had one lesson of it too. Best Afternoon Nap Ever. haha nah jk im sure it gets hardcore later on... :p
