Not sure if anyone here would relate to me...

I havent studied for four unit at ALL. im not confident in ANY topic [bar integration], and i don't want to fail the CSSA on Monday. Though i highly doubt it will happen, i still don't want to come last out of my school (or second last), there is only a handful of people.

We haven't touched mechanics, so that wont be in it. Someone please give me advice.. and if its worth noting... i find complex + conics more harder than the volumes/graphs/poly/integration.. im just not motivated as i loathe those topics.

argghh what can i do to pass on monday..?!

*prays*

just go through some of the basic things in the Cambridge 4 Unit book
get through some of the exercises there then you'll pass atleast

thanks FinalFantasy and Slide Rule..

sucks though, what i truly "enjoy" is integration (lol).. probably a maximum of 15 marks.

With that attitude you shouldn't be doing 4u.

 

[Slidey]

Make sure you can nail the things you enjoy.

 

[yook]

actually i agree that i shouldnt. But it is too late (well not technically).

I've done an hours study, so i'm not feeling confident at all either
Tomorrow is my full day of math cramming, hoorah!

Im usually good at maths, but those CSSA papers are a big confidence downer. so much work! thats what im stressin out about

hey me too!
hahaha
integration is da only topic i can do

 

[Antwan23q]

Yeh, integration is the shit!
And volumes is mad aswell. Is anyone else amazed how when you work out the volume of a pyramid using integration, you get exactly the formula?

i felt like shit after doing those papers...

 

[yook]

looking at the papers make me =/

Heh I was like "So that's why they never showed us the proof for that formula in yr 8..."

If it didn't then there'd be a huge problem.

 

[acmilan]

Haha did you expect a different equation for the volume of a pyramid?

 

[yrtherenonames]

Yes: A Better One!!!

 

[Antwan23q]

hahah nah, i was thinkin maybe the greeks got it wrong, by like a fraction or something...

 

[HayleeKate]

I think the reason we like integration so much, is because you do it twice, [sort of] at least by substitution. I found integration by substitution challenging when we covered it in ext1, but then when we got into ext2 and I suddenly loved it and found it easy.
I also was surpised the formulas were the same.. I was expecting the stocko formula from year 8 to be some kind of approximation, like they rounded it to a pretty fraction we could deal with. I was impressed to find that we'd copped the real thing all along.

 

[stryder_au]

OMG GO INTEGRATION! hah..its the only 4unit topic i can do

 

[alphatango]

Hehe -- I think that's when I really started doing integration -- saw the formulae for various volumes and demanded a proof from my Yr 7 teacher. Was also quite impressed. *insert picture of light bulb turning on above strange cartoon caricature of me*
