My general progression throughout this year was questions from Cambridge then going onto questions from Terry Lee. Cambridge for started then Terry LEss for the challenging ones.

DO NOT STRESS About Conics... unless it's a question 7 or 8 question, then okay fine, (d) might be a lil' tricky.
The conics questions this year weren't too bad at all.

Hello i dont seem to see the need for a tutor?? what for.. what are teachers for, guys just use your own knowledge, maths aint the hardest subject in the world.. I know i really need to get a high mark in english but everything else im basically in 85-95% which im really proud of.. give me 5 reasons to take up a tutor ?
you don't happen to be in my class do you?

by the by, last week, my tutor hadn't caught up to me in complex numbers so i'm panicking because i have to wait till saturday to get extra help ><

Today's exam was easier than expected. Managed to finish the exam with around 10 minutes to spare.

Yes I heard that Harder 3U and Mechanics are one of the hardest topics in MX2 T-T

hahaha well my school has this policy that if youre not exceptional enough for ext2 maths, but youre still okay and want to do it, you get put "on trial"

and yeh, i did pretty mediocre in my term4 assessment.

but ive figured that if i get droppd from ext2, at least ill have SO MUCH MORE time for all my other subjects.

which could be a bonus.

but this ag teacher was like, 'just think of the scaling...and it'll all be worth it in the end!'

sigh lol

Other than teachers, textbooks, and tutors (i smell unintended alliteration) i find that one of the best resources we have are our peers.

take advantage of your friends - if you're stuck on a question, theyll be able to provide an explanation without bamboozling you like my maths teacher does.

in conclusions: use your friends.

(terry lee's son is in my maths class. owned)

I am actually beginning to get 4U, well, okay, the complex numbers to be exact. but yeah, our test is on next Monday before school, so I will have to be all sleepy and stuff. :mad1:

You are just complaining. You can not get anything without hard trying. Nobody can expect himself to do well in mathematics unless he tries so hard.

If you want to be good in mathematics, you should adore mathematics more than anything else and as Hardy said there is no permanant place for ugly mathematics. (the mathematics of people who expect to be good without trying it).

Mathematics is the language of love and passion and those who understand this love and passion will speak it fluently.

acutally, if u are determined and put in a lot of effort in this course, u'll do good.

4u HSC is a speed and accuracy test, it doesnt test ur true maths abilities.

You'd know because...?

2/3 unit so far has all been speed and accuracy, 4unit is a whole different story.
