yeah the excel guide is pretty good, if you get thru that whole book, you'll be sure to get an awesome mark. i've done bits and pieces of it, but make sure you have a go at some past papers also. ;)

I used to be in 2 Unit and now whenever l get a question wrong l get so angry because l feel like l should have gotten it right. I am the highest in my class (the entire grade) so l don't think that there is anything to stress about!

haha i dropped from 2u as well :p i think that's the case with heaps of people... and yeah, i did pretty well in my first assessment, but then i missed out on too many lessons [tafe on tuesday arvo], so after my prelims i was like, stuff it, it's better to at least PASS in general than fail miserably in 2u... XD

this girl dropped from 3u... to 2u... to general... and teh only reason she dropped from 3u was because she changed schools and 3u was full at my school... so she did 2u, but she HATED our teacher, so we both dropped down to general [for different reasons :D]

she's topping general so badly. rawrrr i hate her ;D

hmmm my friends say that revise gen maths in a month isn't good?

lol l know what you mean, when l first started 2U my teacher advised me to get a tutor to help me, l did but nothing happened! I dropped down to general, and my tutor says that l'm so good at it that he's giving me year 12 trail papers to complete in class (l'm in year 11)

Gen.Maths is the only subject I've been able to begin proper study for, which has been occuring through being regularly given past papers to work on. It's going alright, but I need to stop making the odd foolish mistake, so I can try and get over 90%..
