Is it worth taking ext 2 maths?? HELP

Can someone tell me if its worth taking 4u maths if i onli get 60% & rank last for my 1/2yrli report, but i usuali get high 60s?? I know its a bit CRAP... but.... is it realli worth it?? I am still figuring if I should DROP or STAY in 4u Maths.

well... I need to decide this b4 my trials, i.e. in 5 weeks... the person who came second last beat me by approx 3 marks... well... is it worth it?? or am I better off dropping 4u and get around 90s in 2u and 3u?? or get 90s for 3u and 70s-80s for 4u??

someone please help me with is problem.....

I take 13u..

standard English (well i shouldnt have Droped adv eng)
Econ
Business Studies
Japanese Continuous
Japanese Ext
Ext 2 Mathematics

well.... I am not sure if I should drop 4u... coz 70s is a bit low... don't u think?? em.... i am still struggling to decide... Stay or Drop??

last year in my school... the lowest HSC mark for 4u maths was 79... but that person was getting 40s in his assessments and etc.... (maybe last year's tests were harder) welll??

I am not doing realli well in my other subjects... getting 70s - 90s..
4u maths is my lowest mark in my report... :S very disapointing too... hehe... i have never imagine myself getting that rank... :'(

I was just wondering.... i dun get the 4u scaling benefit if i come last in my school rite?? is it possible that my 4u mark is too low to be counted??

but even if i come last in my class? wouldn't i get disadvantage heapz?

can u plz tell me if getting high marks (high 90s) in 3u/2u is better or get 90s in 3u and 70s-80s for 4u?? em... anyway... i was just looking thru the HSC distribution table at the UAC website.. getting 80s for 4u is the last few percentile in the state... does that drag down my UAI overall??

wats percentile anyway??

:apig:

but doesn't 90s (in 2u) sound better tho?? em... so would that bring my uai up as high as 90s if i take 4u?? :S em....

i think you should keep it. you've only got 5 weeks to the trials... not much point really.

what do u mean "not much point really" ... that is drop or stay? em... hehe....

do u know where i can get some easy to understand notes for harder 3u and mechanics? coz i dun understand mechanics.... THANZ to MY TEACHER... who is so CRAP... I wished i could him... and get a new teacher...

lucki i have a GREAT maths tutor.... hes the BEST... but however... learning each topic in 2-3hrs is not an easy job......

9x in 2u isn't as good as 7x or 8x in 4u due to scaling.

em... r u sure? em.... but 80s in 4u is like bottom of 4u tho... :apig:
anyway...wat does "IMO" mean??

also... is it bad that my class average is around 70s- 80s coz' one guy consistentli get realli high in my 4u maths test pulling the average up so high em..... is that a disadvantage?
