I dunno if this belongs in the Mathematics Extension 2 forum or the Mathematics Extension 1 forum, but anyway....
After all the assessment tasks and trial exams, I seem to have a very annoying problem. I'm doing fairly well in Extension 2 (4th in the trial and approx 3rd-4th overall), but I am doing relatively crap in Extension 1 (15th in trial and probably overall as well). A lot of people who I beat in Extension 2 are hammering me in Extension 1. Whilst everyone is working on improving their Extension 2 marks, I have to work on improving my Extension 1 marks. In fact, some of the non-Extension 2 people (i.e. do 3 units of Maths) are beating me in Extension 1 overall....
Although I try equally hard in both, my guess is that I may be subconsciously slacking off in Extension 1 from the assumption that Extension 2 would help my Extension 1 knowledge....lol...it's just a guess/theory....
My question is, how do I work on bumping up my Extension 1 mark/rank in the HSC without having to sacrifice my Extension 2 time for it? (since I want my Extension 2 rank to remain if not rise)...because I would be very pissed off if my Extension 2 mark turns out to be a lot higher than my Extension 1 mark.....
