when did everyone start their 4 unit course? (1 Viewer)

[Grey Council]

mmm

thing is, we're moving really quickly this year.
:-\

Have you seen what they're examining us in the third assessments? They've put in resisted motion, integration, Complex, polynomials, harder 3u motion and graphing. We got harder 3u probability and harder 3u circlegeo in the last assessments. :-\
I'm quite sure they're gonna try and teach us everything before trials. Hrm, not sure though

 

[Calculon]

We started just after the 2u HSC, so some time in October last year.

shit!...that's not fair!...i want more periods!

Seems about right tho. 4U at my school is 12 x 80min a fortnight which works out to be 0.1hrs more...

With schools that do 4U first term of Yr 12, do you still do extra periods in term 4 Yr 11 and just do more 3U?

12 x 80mins a fortnight
= 6 x 80mins per week
= 480mins per week
= 8hrs/wk

hmm...let's see..i have 2hrs/week...so i don't think it's 0.1 hrs more...it's like...6!!..

 

[Estel]

You're not counting 2 and 3U classes.

 

[ToO LaZy ^*]

oh...ok
then how many hours do you have in 4U per week/fortnight?

 

[Estel]

I don't do 4U as I'm in Yr 11.
But this year we have one integrated classes so it's 8hrs/week of 2, 3 and 4U jumbled and they just blitz the easier courses to spend more time on things like harder 3U.
The other class isn't integrated, so they have 6hrs/week of integrated 2 and 3U and 2hrs/week of 4U.
All depends on lines.

 

[KeypadSDM]

We did 7.5 Hours a week, tops. Usually 6 hours 45 mins.

That's including all of maths.

 

[velox]

thats a lot!! we do 5hrs for 3u for one week in a cycle

 

[Teoh]

...
A cycle usually means 2 weeks...

I'm about the same as KeypadSDM

 

[velox]

yeah i know, the other cycle has less periods of maths

 

[Grey Council]

we do maths at my sKool


we roxorz

for heaven's sake, who cares how many hours you do. if you want to do more, well, you have time at home. lol, do all the maths you want, no one is stopping you. ^_^



we do 9 hours though. But then, we have 123 people doing 4u maths, and we get like 53 band 6's.
:-\

I dunno if this is true for other schools, but I think selective schools actually have mostly mathematically talented students. hrm

Thats because you can get through the selective school exams with relatively limited English skills, hence the poor results in that subject at your school.

On another note we do about 8 1 hour periods a week and its one class for both 3 and 4u.

look at ruse, and besides that only applies for all those Fobs...wait a fob topped our yr in english, maybe our skool is bad

that's quite true, but what good is studying by yourself at home if you don't know wat you are doing? you frustrate yourself to the point where you end up throwing books at the wall ... you should see my walls!

wats a fob?

 

[zerzillia]

term 4 last year.

but we haven't finished.
we'll be starting harder 3u.
we're going to skip mechanics and do it later, after the trials.
that's kind of bad.

 

[zerzillia]

we do 2 hours per week. sometimes more.

that sounds very little compared to everyone else.
