....how bout any course in uni...will it kill me cause i did general??

i really dont like 2u...and it's the only subject i dont like....will general scale me down?? if i do good in general is it better than if i go crap in 2u??

You really didn't need to spam that everywhere.

it depends what course you wanna study in uni.
not all courses require maths.
for example if you want to study business or arts you wont need much maths at all.
but if you want to study Engineering or IT or Science you may need at least 2U maths knowledge or even 3U

wtf? i thought i just posted my response on another thread???..stop spamming man....this is the uts thread

i would personally stick with 2u
a lot of courses have it as assumed knowledge and it scales more than general
general is more for ppl who are crap at maths but still have/want to do it
by doing 2u it shows you have a slight edge over general ppl

dont drop 2u to general
at least keep your 2u
it is my own advice anyway

 

[Tenax Propositi]

if you have 10 units (exlcuding maths) that you believe you will do well in AND if you do not wish to pursue a course at uni that require a higher level of mathematical knowledge, then DROP 2U MATHS for GENERAL MATHS IMMEDIATELY.

Based on personal experience, 2U isn't worth your time if you both do poorly in it and hate it in addition to not needing it.

ok i recommend u to do 2u or no math at all, general maths isn't good to take up for yr12...

If I'm not mistaken General is pretty much the Yr 10 Intermediate course, someone correct me if I'm worng

it depends how you are going, and how it is affecting your self esteem. if you're doing average in 2u, working and it is making you depressed, it can be a good idea to drop because it's not worth the trouble. but if you are doing average and are prepared to work harder 9if you have not been working) then keep it as hard work does always pay off in maths.

yeah but they do do different things to 2u, so you will need to go through the book and check you understand everything, it could be time consuming. but maybe not as time consuming as doing 2u. ask your school as maybe they wont let you drop aftyer the 1/2 yearlies
