I'm using the HSC General Mathematics 2013 Excel Book :D Pretty good :) how are you gonna cover all the content in your book just reading over examples? :)
Well I'm using the success one as a core while I simultaneously refer to my other textbook ( maths quest) when I come across any difficulties in the examples I attempt in the success one book. The thing is that maths quest is very "general" and hence lacks difficulty so I refer to others to broaden my knowledge... Haha lol I sound like a nerddd :L

my weaknesses are to be linear and non-linear relationships, annuities and correlation abit :(
I Also have issues with time differences -.- I tend to understand the concepts but it's just tiny silly mistakes that stuff up everything.

the time difference is that hard its just knowing that east is in front of west :) As, 1 degree = to 4 mins, therefore, 15 degrees = 60 mins (1 hour) :D

Yeah my textbook has an "exteneded response' that's suppose to be hard and challenging, but it's not really :L
Um, yesh I did but I've briefly went over it, I'm mostly focusing on the topics that usually come up in the exams ( e.g taxable income ) :)

Well so far I've seen taxable income, identifying weather data is categorical/ continuous/ discrete etc, conversion measurements ( e.g km/h to m/s) area, sketch diagrams, currency conversions, weight charges etc heaps. Most are basic but they are usually the foundation for yr 12. ( usually lfound in multiple choice and short answer as 1 markers )

Marco? So are we now stereotyping that Italian men make investments to grow their money to use for illegal boxing matches?
