We run on a similar system of 2 ipt lessons per week. My schools sends our prelim results to a stat guy in Sydney to estimate an atar so we don’t get to drop anything for the first 3-4 weeks.Nooooo don't drop ipt, it sucks sometimes but it's genuinely so easy when you understand it. I understand the issue with your teacher, and if you want I can send you the booklets we have been given, which are partially unreliable since they're from 15 years ago and a lot has changed. I can't complain since we have the best teacher literally, but she doesn't let us write notes in class or anything, because IPT is a really concept based subject. Memorisation won't help you to remember everything, you just need a brief understanding + prelims will mainly be case studies and diagrams for IPT so don't stress too much. We only get 4 periods every fortnight for ipt, and have finished all the content around 6 weeks ago, got 0 study days off, and our school still is one of the best in IPT. My revision is A LOT now but it covers everything which I can send (also it has yr12 work, its unfair towards us but our teacher said it'll help towards our HSC so she's just testing us now..) Idk if your schools doing the same and I can also send past papers.
If I’m able to get the marks to get an offer to do extension 2 maths on line 4 (a different class) I will drop that and will keep ipt for at least the first term to see if I can survive and do decently in extension 2. If I’m doing okay then I’ll consider dropping it.
It would be amazing if you could send me the booklets and past papers and stuff. It doesn’t help that my classmates don’t really care about school at all so I end up being the only person who tries in the class which is pretty demotivating. And my teacher doesn’t actually teach us anything, he just tells us to do a few lessons on stile which means everyone just googles everything and never understands the content (me included).
