btw, that seems more like 3 unit then 4 unit.

Also, congrats on your 2 unit mark, but don't get complacent as these marks don't necessarily mean you'll do well in extension.
It is in the 2U and 3U Syllabus. Integration however is also in the 4U Sylla. You need to know applications of the derivative like tangents and normals to the curve in Conics (4U topic). I think the OP means he needs to master the 2U and 3U skills before he moves into 4U.

As mentioned before tuition homework is meant to be harder than school. So if you do well at tuition it should be reflected on your school mark.

-Good Luck with 4U :)

ohh yeahh i know it'll help you alot with engineering course at uni you'll get a good headstart :)
but like its really hard D:

LOL you know where sarah redfern high school is? O.O
its not in redfern btw its in campbeltown just to make things clear because people always think its in redfern lol
Yeah I'd plan to take a science course if I could get into 4U maths, hence I'll be ahead of others coz I've done the 4U stuff already =P

Well learning the stuff isn't so hard, but doing the questions is much harder....
You can't rely on hard work alone, thinking is a needed requirement.....
You must have a good understanding of the concepts and not be blinded by questions that tend to be awkward.... :L

Yeah I heard of Sarah Redfern... all the way down south west...
and no wonder you hardly have anyone doing 3U maths and physics...
have a lot of people dropped out over there?

it is better to struggle in tutoring. this is because school marks count, whereas tutoring marks don't. Maintain your marks + ranks at school as top priority, and then worry about tutoring.

so yeah, do your school assessments first before doing your tutoring hw!
