I'm joining Dr Du (Y11)- what do I need to catch up on? (1 Viewer)

Adding onto what y’all said, coordinate geometry will include internal and external division of points, locusts etc

From what I've seen Du goes heavily out of syllabus on many topics - none of these are in the current syllabus. No school that I know of teaches these topics & they will never be tested in the HSC

Ik people who got 56% on the exam and got into A1's- they settled perfectly dude, don't stress.

doing it in y8 was a bad idea back then it was like 90%+ was A1 and i was so shit at maths

 

[skzzks]

oh what they said it was 300 marks, maybe it’s diff?

it is 300 marks however all the question are worth between 10-35 marks each so there’s not too many (essentially it is 3 quizzes combined)

Heh when I did it was like 80%+

 

[Pethmin]

Yeah y8 has a terrible threshold

I wouldn’t say that’s 100% true. I’ve just looked at everything my class will review in school, literally everything that I did in du will apply except coord geometry

i mean it depends. my school taught locus (the not 4u one that you would find in i think 2u/3u in the old syllabus) in year 7. they also taught partial fractions (without the 4u integration, just how to make partial fractions) in year 10, stuff like that. i don't know if they still do that anymore, but some schools like to go crazy, especially in junior years where it won't matter.

I should clarify - I meant for senior years (Y11/Y12). A lot of these concepts are beneficial to learning if used correctly, but are mostly useless at y11/y12.

Ohio would be teaching how to count in y7

 

[Pethmin]

As a fellow Ohioan i approve.

if it helps i literally don't remember a single part of it. i still don't know why we had to because if you asked me to find like the focus-directrix of a parabola i'd tell you i have no idea

Ur school is beyond Ohio
