So I decided it would be wise to start revising maths right now. I KNOW NOTHING! The little I understood last year is totally gone :( So devos.
And the great thing is, there is an aptitude test for MX1 &/or 2U at my new school and they've threatened if we don't reach a certain percentage it's off to General -.-
... :'( goodbye med.

So I've been told by our negative maths teachers...
first i put in for 2U and they were like " you don't pass, you go to general. It's a very demanding course; did you come top 15 at your previous school ? " And that was without looking at my report or anything. Apparently quadratics occur heaps?

I actually came first haha...maybe second/third? I don't remember haha. Year 11 doesn't count. What matters in Year 11 is that you study consistently while developing some effective study methods and understand the foundations.

Should I actually have studied these holidays? :/
Not unless u have to pass something to do a course.
probs won't even make anyone go to general, just a scare tactic. It worked, but not enough to get anyone of us to study :p
