i think you'd get more success if you offered to exchange money for time

You are probably better off posting specific questions that have do with sections you are unsure of.

I mean it's not like it is 2 weeks to the HSC or anything : rolleyes : and we all have the time to teach probability in our own study time without any offer of return of thanks in the form of goods/services or money

ok... how about 15 bucks for the entire probability course.. youve gotta be experienced and a good teacher.. well do it via msn and i need at least a few hours of your time... am i being too cheap?

rofl... you've got to be kidding Allstarr...
tutors that fit your criteria go for at least 30 an hour...

and considering you haven't got probability at this stage of the year... gonna take more than 1/2 an hr to learn...

Well your best bet now is to grab the textbook go to school during STUVAC and do anything to get your teacher to reteach you.

ummm i dont get along with my teacher much lol. Who here is doing/has done probability for 3 unit. Do you think its that hard? Some of the questions im looking at I wouldnt have the faintest idea and the cambridge threee unit book by Pender makes the course look like you're learning hyroglyphics.
Ill go for more than 15... I just want a good teacher. Im fine with most of the other stuff... maybe binomials are a bit challenging but I can teach myself that.

Well considering there's a few weeks 'till the HSC, it's a fair bet to assume most of us have done probability...
To me it's the hardest topic in the course, tho' that doesn't mean it's really difficult.

Pender's book is brilliant, I can't say that enough.... but it doesn't cater for the low end... perhaps you should invest in an easier book.

hehe, na was just being bored, its not like im missing that 15 bucks. the demands start rolling next yr ;), and it wont be 15 then.

On a serious note, if you are really GONE for probability, you should probably browse around the forum to see how people are solving those questions, i mean surely you'll understand some of it as most people here speak plain english. *cough* and you should also post some questions up here and let other people answer and explain. I mean thats really as good as "msn tutoring", you have more than one person explaining to you as well.

Yes, Pender and Cambridge all the way...as for probability, try to get as many q's under your belt. Start with the foundations and work your way up. You should be able to do those - otherwise you're not really fit for 3u, I'm sorry to say...

Sorry if I'm being a bit harsh, but well, they designed the book to work through - it's completely user-friendly, though I may be biased having Pender as my teacher :p

well i reckon im fit.. ive just been pretty lazy as of late. I was ranked 16 out of 70 or so but droped ten places during trials because i took the easy option of not studying enough. However, I find that by teaching myself through that pender book im doing it the hard way as im sure its not as hard as that book makes it out to be. Even our teacher reckons pender goes too far... but of course im sure for many of you bright 4 unit ppl it may not be that way.

Ill take your advice and post the problems im having later this week. As for now im struggling with English lol.

And for everyone else, good luck in the HSC! I think now is the crucial time. Work hard now and you can boost your uai by at least 10 :p
