Good at maths? Good at maths ext? Go for it! It won't harm you to just 'try' but there is a significant drop out rate. Of course it's hard!

If you are in year 11, read this first
(thread created by withoutaface in the maths extension 2 forum)

It's certainly hard and challenging but definitely rewarding and it may be enjoyable depending on your devotion and interest in maths.

yes do it. its fairly easy. you have probably learnt most of the stuff but just a bit of extension work. Just dont fall behind and you can get into 80's or maybe 90's

 

[Kujah]

its fairly easy.

Are you sure about that?

 

[bos1234]

Are you sure about that?

but some topics are difficult like harder 3 unit.. just try anyway

 

[gcmk]

would it be too much to handle if u had 12 units thats inc. math ext 2 and the other 8 units were like pretty demanding subjects??

 

[bos1234]

If you do 12 units and ext. 2 its obviously harder than doing doing 10 and ext 2. But MANY people do 12 units and get 99.

four unit isn't too hard, it just requires heaps of time (ie more than all my other subjects put together). when you do four unit and you see three unit questions esp integration it makes you laugh

 

[ellen.louise]

Ahaha! "Is it hard"

well it's not easy.
You have to work really hard to keep on top of a growing mountain of work. But if you're good at maths most of the concepts aren't too hard to grasp. It's just those few questions that make you vomit.

If you're good at 3U then definitely try 4U. Even if you're not too sure about it, you should at least try it, then you can drop it later if you need to. But, like everyone else has said, it's not too hard (some topics are easier, and some are harder), but you have to have pretty good organisational skills to deal with all the homework and extra work that you have to (or should) put in. And if you want to do well, then be prepared to spend long long nights doing many many past papers and questions, because the people who do this always get the best marks. But, if you tend to be lazy, disorganised (i dont mean messy, but structure/time-wise), or, well, lazy, then perhaps 4U isn't the right way to go.

And it scales pretty well too.

Give it a go.
Im really behind on my notes , so it accounts for how shit im doing in it.
It`s not so much hard , but I guess given the time frame of the exam , is what makes it so difficult.
We started with I thikn 43 people doing 4u at the beginning of year 12. Now seriously I think that number`s just over 30 , or possibly it`s even less now. So many dropped out.

 

[SoulSearcher]

We have a 20% drop out rate this year.

 

[Kujah]

I think we had 2-3 people drop out of MX2 this year.

Yeah, the Catholic trial papers seem to be somewhat of a bitch lately.
