Dropped 4 unit maths (1 Viewer)

[superbird]

I am now doing 10 units, but I simply couldn't handle the work difficulty of 4 unit maths. I got 48% in my first exam, which was first in the class, but that is still a poor mark right.

Did I make a big mistake dropping? or should I have just hung in there.

My 3 unit marks weren't too good either.

Good idea to just do 10 units?

Well if you're first in the class hten your school probably sets difficult assessment tasks, how many are in your class?

 

[superbird]

There's only 4.

Well then I guess it depends on how smart the people in your class are, dropping 4u will give you tons more time for other subjects anyway

 

[superbird]

the other people arent that smart

they got around 25%

48% is alright, and some teachers do set crazy assessment tasks (ie turtle level).

statistics show that ppl doing 12 units consistently performed slightly better than those who studied 10 units (students were divided into groups according to their school certificate marks and compared).

They must be ok to get accepted into 4u, being that far ahead of the rest of the class would give your assessment mark a pretty major boost

...only slightly

even though i was failing 4 unit should i hav just kept it

I got 20 ppl in my class and i got about 12th in the last test, but thats only cos the other 8 screwed up majorly, and ill probably end up coming 18th or some shit, i'd wait until the 1/2 yearlies

you have to get accepted into 4u? cant you just decide to do it

the teacher would then start to strongly recommend some students not to continue in the course

We had to get approved to do it
