    MX2 Exam Thoughts

    I tried like 5 times with ratio of intercepts and corresponding angles but I couldn't get it out, was panicking a bit by that point

    MX2 Exam Thoughts

    Definitely harder and more conceptual than previous years. Alignment should (hopefully) allow me to scrape an e4 with like 65-70% raw lmao

    how to study for 4u???

    This is the method/process I use to study maths, hasn't failed me yet: 1. Pick a past paper from a particular school, do the whole thing 2. Write down the topics (even better, the specific exercises from your preferred textbook) that you made errors in 3. The next day, study and do some...

    Studying in holidays

    For 3U i'll be revising early year 11 topics (mostly trig and induction) as 3U trials test everything you have learned up to that point. As for pre-learning maths, I did it for 4U and 3U over the christmas holidays. IMO it's the easiest subject to learn ahead due to the volume of resources...

    MX2 Marathon

    Re: HSC 2018 MX2 Marathon How can you say that the equation is y=0 on the imaginary plane but then sub into an equation that's on the real number plane? Wouldn't you have to sub in bx + ay = 0?

    An idea to decrease the number of bots

    Wouldn't a better idea be something like a captcha requirement for ALL posts? Maybe premium members could bypass this requirement for example?

    Should I pick 4U Maths?

    No, you don't have to drop any. As far as I know there isn't any max, you just need 10 units minimum (this might change in regards to tafe or if you are doing non-atar? not too sure). You can do 14/16 whatever units for the HSC if you want. It gives you a bit of leeway if you bomb a...
