Maths extension 2 (1 Viewer)

[cmizzle]

Hey guys,

My teacher has been telling me that one of the prerequisites for extension 2 maths is having completed the entire 2U course. Is this true?
Im not sure if this is a BOS requirement or something within the school.

It isn't an official prerequisite, it is preferred to have done 2u a year early, as it takes less of the workload off and 4u sometimes requires the knowledge of 2u concepts (for example logarithms). However I know that some schools out there, make it a rule that students that do 4u must do 2u, but according to the BOSTES, there is no such rule.

Ok, thanks for clarifying that up. It's just that i really want to do 4U but i haven't completed the 2U course and my teacher thinks i will be too stressed from the workload

i know two people that didnt do 2u and are doing 4u

Do they find it not overly stressful?

Yeah you don't have to have done 2U to do 4U. In fact most people who do 4U haven't done 2U accelerated (I did, but I'm an outlier, at least @ my school haha)

It's definitely an advantage though. If you're worried, maybe just try and learn some of the HSC 2U concepts ahead of time, it will definitely help
