Does anyone finding it strange that someone studies ESL and General Maths, but also take physics and biology which requires more sophisticated maths and english writing?

I don't think that the people who do Physic and Chemistry need to do 2U math because the calculation in Physic and Chemistry are not that hard
Just basic calculation and understanding the concept
I'm doing ext 1 anyway :p

calculation in phy n chem r not hard, same in 2unit.. they r all basically substituting numbers in formulae.. difference is, in 2unit u have to remember those formulae.. anyways alot of concepts in phy r much harder to understand than 2u maths.. u dont necesary Have to do 2u, but if u can do well in phy then u shud be able to do 2unit maths without too much frustration.. just an suggestion =)

my english exam was okay....I dun want to feel high about it now, coz I'll get depress if I dun do that good. But it was wayyy much better than trial. Also I didn't finish the Q1 last question....only need the conclusion....but I'm so happy I finish the Q2 hohohoho.....

Yeh...abt the maths I made a mistake on yr 10, I wanna choose 2U maths but then I "circle" the General Maths one. I dunno why's that, but then I cudnt change it nemore....:mad1: that really suck. But it's ok General maths is really easy....so I only need to strees out for physics and chemistry...then I plan to take a bridging course at uni....

Yes you can. You should score a Band 6 in your HSC exam and this will put you in a good position to obtain a Band 6 for your Final mark.

Not really. No one is forced to do ESL, but some schools encourage qualified students to do ESL.

But not all courses accept ESL, so I don't choose ESL instead taking standard (be on safe side).
