so ive found doing 4 unit that there isnt anytime to focus on 2 unit stuff. Does this really matter provided I have a sound knowledge in 2 unit but outstanding in extension 1 & 2?
PS i did better in my extension 1 test then 2 unit test for yearlies...

Wait I'm confused, you do 4u 3u and 2u???

Yea some schools make 4U students do 2U too just in case they decide to drop.

At baulko they make people do it from the beginning and if their 4u marks arent that great they make them sit as many 2u exams as possible. However our trial exam was on the same day so by trials youre either in 4u for good or not. I never paid attention to the 2u stuff we learnt in class because it wasnt really that helpful with anything

what he said. So should i just focus on mx2 and mx1 stuff?

Yeah dont bother studying for 2u, jsut remember the formulas they use cos they can crop up in 3u exams.

No worries =)

well actually, don't neglect 2U, because some of the harder 2U stuff could be used in 3U assessment tasks as well (ie. the harder applications of 2U maths is assessable in 3U)

However, for most of the time, as long as you can do around 90% of the 2U questions, you should be fine, also provided that your understanding of the concept is solid.

Also remember that trapezoidal and simpson's rule comes up in 4u exams sometimes =/ so you dont wanna ignore them

okay, just that I have been doing locus and I hate it! Im half decent at it, just enough to pass by but i have neglected it. Is that a dangerous move?

not a very good move. A lot of the 2U applications can be used in 4U maths as well, so I swear, don't neglect it.
I recall that I saw a projectile motion question in a ruse 4U trial and to find the parabolic path, we needed to use the skills from the locus. So that's a reason why you shouldn't neglect 2U.

Even if you hate some topics, you still have to do it, because it will be assessable (who knows when, maybe in the next test, trial or the HSC)

alrighty, thanks for the help. Good luck with your HSC

Lol i use my 2U class to study for 3U/4U and chill.

They will teach you the 2U stuff. Should anyway. Do not worry, I only do 2U Mathematics.
