Question about ext. 2 (1 Viewer)

[KFunk]

Hey, i'm in year 11 going into year 12 and as it stands I'm going to have 11 units (4 english, 3 math, phys, chem).

I did well enough in my prelim exams to do ext. 2 math and it's quite tempting but I realise that it's quite an undertaking and would take up a lot of my time. On average, how much time do you guys have to put into maths? More specifically, how much more time does ext. 2 require compared to ext. 1?

I'm not as interested in answers from people who are completely math minded and find it no trouble (you lucky bastards). I'd be choosing to do it more out of interest than ability.

Depends, at the start of the year not that much, like 0.5 hours a night, but from the start of term 2 (the one after easter holidays) I was doing 3-4 past papers a week, each taking 3 hours.

Choosing out of interest rather than ability? Thank god ...

As withoutaface said, you start off not spending that much time on it, but as the year progresses it consumes you. You will easily spend more time on it then any other 2 subjects combined. Except perhaps 4U Eng.

A lot of them yes. All the HSC papers are done, as well as just about all the past CSSA trials, and lots of random papers.

r u gonna upload all them solutions?

where's your website?

I wasn't planning to because:

a) I don't know if they're all correct
b) I don't have a scanner
c) My webspace went when I left my old ISP
d) a lot of them are on looseleaf and are hence scattered all over the place
