Ok, so I just got my preliminary results back for my 3 unit class.
For those of you who have sane schools, let me explain how our school is doing math. Those students who are doing Extension 1 and Mathematics - there are about twelve of us - are lumped into the same class. This class then uses the Mathematics periods and the Extension 1 periods to get through almost all of the Mathematics (2 Unit) course in Year 11, giving us, theoretically, all of Year 12 for the harder Extension work.
However on inspection of my Math results this year (64%. 64-fucking-percent.), I decided that, if this is how I was going on the suppsedly easy stuff, then possibly the extension course was not for me. If I drop down to just 2 Unit, I will change classes, but I will basically be doing the same stuff that I've been doing this year, and will presumably do better this time around.
So, my question, for those of you that managed to derive some meaning from the above paragraphs, is this: would I be better off saving myself the extra workload and getting kick-ass results in 2-Unit? Or would I be better served, UAI-wise, by bludgeoning my way through 3-Unit?
Rough prediction of marks
2 Unit - 70% or 2 Unit - 90%
Ext.1 - 60%
This is assuming, of course that Ext1 becomes a decider and overrides half of one other course (as I am doing 13 units, for some unknown reason).
Thanks
