Im gonna accelerate YAY (1 Viewer)

[Bronx_Tips]

SOOOO GGUYSS IVE BEEN THIKIGNG.

Im planning on accelerating maths adv in yr 9 and possibly math ext 1

ANY BENEFITS FROM DOING IT EARLY


THX MY BAESSS

Note not next year*

 

[C_master]

Your in year 7 and thinking of accelerating already? Damn good for you

YESSSS

accelerating adv AND ext1 will be intense, definitely think abt whether you're more likely to perform accelerated vs unaccelerated. the benefit is that you'll have those subjects over and done with +familiar with the HSC experience. another benefit is that you have a "2nd chance", if u do shit in the accelerated HSC you could resit the next year HOWEVER this isn't a true benefit imo bcz ideally you'd wanna perform well the first time, or just don't accelerate at all yfm.

downside is that ur workload will be significantly higher, like more homework, more assessments some of them may clash as well e.g. prelims and trials. it's just a ton of work to accelerate multiple subjects esp smth like ext1 but still doable

I accelerated ext1 and I wanted to drop it many times bcz it felt impossible, but I pulled through if u enjoy math and work well under pressure then go for it

HOWW IT WONT CLASH IN YEAR 9 NO TRIALS NO PRELIMS JUST EASY YR 9 EXAMS SO PERFECT TIME TO ACCELERATE BUT YAY TY BAE I LOVE YOU SMOOCH

maths ext 1 is defo a much bigger workload than advanced but doing it in yr9 should be fairly doable if you study hard

anyway if you wanna avoid stress don't be like me and study 3 days before trials

benefits should be self explanatory but the negatives are stress mostly

benefit = less workload in yr 11/12

i think advanced math is definetly doable if u like math and are willing to put in the hours to learn yr9,10,11,12 content accelerated since prob yr9-10 content is useful but hoenstly i didnt really need it so yea

ext 1 is a bit harder, but again i think with effort u got it

UGHH IM struggling with differentiation especially I think I said it a billion times already

UGHH IM struggling with differentiation especially I think I said it a billion times already

ur going to yr8 or 9 next yr?

 

[Bronx_Tips]

ur going to yr8 or 9 next yr?

yr 8 I JUST LOVE MATHS

 

[Bronx_Tips]

I GOT TO GO NOOO

 

[WeiWeiMan]

UGHH IM struggling with differentiation especially I think I said it a billion times already

dw i was struggling with calculus early yr8 so u should be fine

yr 8 I JUST LOVE MATHS

ur love might wither once you start doing accelerated but who knows

 

[Average Boreduser]

yeah no i think youll do fine. Just please try to act/be serious when your hscs do come around. The way you're acting in this forum kind of implies that you're crazy immature. I'm sure you'll get there eventually, but senior years aren't a joke at the end of the day, as they will affect your future- SO PLEASE GET THIS IN CHECK .

GOOD LUCK THO- !!!

a good time is to think of derivative as basically getting a ratio/rate of change as accurate as possible. if you've done some basic physics u know that speed = distance/time, or Δd/Δt. effectively all the derivative does is make the Δ smaller and smaller by taking the limit. thats where dy/dx is from, it comes from Δy/Δx in the limit.

in terms of formula id derive with first principle first, then apply. try to derive chain and product rule too if u can

oh soz when I accelerated I had yr11 and 12 clashing oops didn't read ur post properly

all the best!!

ngl i couldn't wrap my head around that way of explaining the derivative
I personally just thought of 1 point gradient/ steepness and didn't run into any issues

if you're in year 7 and thinking about accelerating math already, i assume you'll be in a position later on where it is beneficial for your atar to do 4u.

considering this, i would recommend accelerating both adv and ext 1 in year 9, whilst you have no other major exams. accelerating 2u by itself that early is kinda useless if you end up doing 4u, which is something i think you should consider. (in case you don't already know, when you do 4u, your 2u mark is no longer counted towards your atar)

this way you at least have a 3u mark locked in that can count towards your atar, and you may like to complete 4u later.

however, once you reach this stage, i think it would be beneficial to repeat 3u at the same time you do 4u, as doing 4u makes 3u seem easy and you can perform better. this ofc depends on your 3u mark the first time (if you get 49-50/50 keep the mark, if you get 47-48/50 consider repeating, if you get 46 or below then repeat.)
