You'll get scaled well, even with a mark of 50 or less.

So many people I know, recieved marks of 30, 40 etc in 4unit and ended up with uais of 90+

I b jealous. :eek:

If you sit the extension 2 paper and get a HSC mark for it, then the 2 unit mark will automatically be discounted from any future calculations regarding your UAI. In other works, your 2 unit mark will become irrelevant once you have done the extension 2 Maths HSC paper.

the UAI is calculated on ur BEST scaling and thus ranking units, so if u think u fuck up 2 unit, but ace 4 unit, ur 2 unit scaling might still be better than another subject due to poor marks state wide, thus higher scaling. u cant say wat will be counted in ur UAI coz its not just ur marks its ranking

If you screw up extension 2 maths, and extension 2 maths only, then all of your units other than extension 2 maths will count, that is both units of extension 1 maths will count in the place of the 2 units of extension 2 maths.

In reponse to the second question, if you drop extension 2 maths before the HSC exam and have notified the Board of Studies and your school with that intention, then it is possible for you to do the 2 unit paper. But if you keep extension 2 maths at the time of the HSCexam, then you cannot sit for extension 2 maths.

Hehe, that's alright :)

When you do extension 2 maths (i.e. 4 units of maths), extension 1 mathematics makes up two of those 4 units, while the other 2 is made up of extension 2 mathematics, for a total of 4 units. That's pretty much the gist of it.

That's right, you cannot sit both exams as they are always held in the same day at the same time, which means you can choose either 2 unit or extension 2.

From my knowledge you don't sit for 2 unit maths exam if you doing 4 unit maths.....
although it is still possible to sit both 2 unit maths and 4 unit maths exams by accelerating 2 unit maths in year 11... However, from what I know, the result of 2u maths completed in year 11 will go to the rubbish bin and don't count toward anything at all if you do 4U maths.

Normally, no-one has do to any 2u tests once he chooses 4u. he doesn't have to sit the 2u HSC even! Now 3u counts as 2 units=100 and 4u counts as 2 units=100 marks. That's why 2u is not counted.
