Hey guys, do you think it'll be crazy and/or stupid to do both 4u Maths and 4u English for HSC.

Just adding to what everybody's said, just give it a go and see how you'll cope, it's a whole lot better than spending some (or all) of your hsc year kicking yourself for not ever knowing if you're capable or not.

Hey, another maths accelerant How are you going in the course?

 

[xinxin89]

Just got the trial results back, got a 101/119 (yes 119, my skool couldn't make it to 120 lol)...dat's clost to 85% placing me at 14th amongst everyone doing the course....apparently at my skool (manly selective), if ur ranked 30 or above u can get 90+ UAI in the 2u course. honestly tho, i'm disappointed with my results, unbeliveable the stupid mistakes i make, but of course some r genuine mistakes. I'm aiming at doing better in HSC, hopefully getting 95 or above for 2U, I really don't wanna repeat it next year, will only do so if i fall below 90. So what about you? How are you doing?

101/119 is pretty good man. I did 2 unit maths last year, getting 96 for my overall HSC mark Just doing extension 1 maths this year, and I'm holding first rank, with my 78/84 keeping me above the year 12 students At my school, if you get into the top 20 in 2 unit maths, you would be very likely to get a 90+ in the HSC exam

 

[milady]

I didn't know you could pick extension 1 maths in year 12.

I suppose you might have been being disingenuous etc, but i meant ext 2, i already do ext 1, forgot to put it. it's all maths, after all.

 

[SoulSearcher]

No, I just misread your post, you had only maths in your preliminary subjects, but extension maths in your HSC column, so I wrongly assumed from there.

I can't believe you're doing it now. That's impressive (and depressing for me who plods along at average, or perhaps less than average pace). What school do you go to? Do they do that with a lot of students, encourage it, etc?

I go to Patrician Brothers' College Fairfield, and I'm amazed too at the marks I've been getting. Currently, we have 5 kids doing accelerated extension 1 maths in year 11, with 23 kids doing accelrated 2 unit maths in year 11 and 4 kids doing accelerated 2 unit maths in year 10.

Thanks for satisfying my curiosity. Patrician Brother's seems to do pretty well in maths (i'm sure i've seen the name in relation to first in hsc subjects or maths prizes), so I guess that isn't so surprising. good luck with it.
I wish I could get subjects out of the way early. Even my little brother is doing accelerated geography. But no. Everything is staked on year 12.

 

[SoulSearcher]

Acceleration is great, if you are good at the subject, leaves you with less work for year 12.

 

[Dzak Helfeather]

Well... I'm not sure if what I'm gonna do is such a great idea. Thoughts?

Preliminary:

English 3U
Maths 3U
Economics
Legal Studies
Ancient History



HSC:
English 3U
Maths 4U
Ancient History + History Extension
Economics

 

[SoulSearcher]

If you want to do those subjects, and feel that you can do well in them, as well as having the motivation to do those subjects for the next 4 terms, then by all means go for it

 

[arrynaurelia]

preliminary-
english advanced
english extension 1
japanese continuers
modern history
business studies
food technology
visual design


hsc-
english advanced
english extension 1
japanese continuers
japanese extension
modern history
business studies



dropping visual design coz i have to.
and food tech coz i absolutely despise it and it was the only option since i transferred to this school in the middle of last term.
so the lines weren't in my favour.

hope jap extension isn't off the timetable.
i dont want to stay back and do afer school classes or come early and do double 0 periods.

omg;; is it like just me who's gonna do 6 subjects again in year 12? >_<;; im not even allowed to do 5 because my mum wont let me..;; *sighs* what to doooooo.. i dislike all my subjects very much.. i regret choosing half of them.. (only if i could turn back time!)

 

[SoulSearcher]

I'm doing 6 subjects next year as well, but 2 of them are extension courses and the other other may very well be a distinction course.
