I heard a rumour graphs and complex numbers were the "harder" topics in the course? True story?

Pfft I find them the easiest. Stuff like volumes and friction I find harder mainly because I never got around to learning them.

I would say that it ISN'T operations over the complex set, nor techniques of graphing.

I think conics and volumes are the hardest.. theres always one really messy conics question on hsc exams where it takes ages to sort through all the algebra

I love messy algebra. :D

'Sides, the conics questions SHOULDN'T involve messy algebra - there's usually an elegant way to do them.

I find graphing the easiest topic, complex is not much harder. Some conics questions can be bastards though.

i reckon complex nos. is the easiest, then integration, after that, it depends on the actual question, volumes and conics can be easy or can be shit hard, the hardest are mechanics questions and harder 3unit questions, they can be a bitch, especially harder probability and induction,

conics has always been a big problem for me, i never grasped the basic concepts and just cant do it now.. its a pity because im fairly strong in all other topics... hopefully there wont be too many marks on conics, i think polynomials, complex numbers and integration will take up most of the paper, especially integration, you have to use that for everything
