Which one do you think you will get more in? And comment your approximated RAW marks for each AFTER the 3U solutions are release though..
I think 4U:
4U: 88/100 at min and 90/100 at max.
And 3U will see after solutions are released.

Yeh I think I will. Cos 4u scales 88/100 to 97. While 3u 63/70 scales only to like 94.

i thought you were implying raw mark rather than aligned mark at the start. either way still better in 3U!
I was at first and I said 88/100 raw for 4u. Which scales to 97.

Happier with 4U even though I probably will do better in 3U

That's still lower. Emilios how'd u go? Did you weigh up in 3u for 4u?
65-66/70

Depends if they take a mark off for last q probability: in one of the lines of working I wrote (1- r) instead of (1-r^2) for the limiting sum of the GP but that was only for one line. Got it out though.

Think I made up for my poorer than expected 4U performance.

What do you think doing 4U is helpful?
I have 12 units and if i pick up extention 2 maths, it will be 13 U

that would be too much. you would either have to drop a subject or i wouldn't advise picking up 4U

how good are you at 3U? 4U is great for your atar but in the same way it also takes time away from other subjects.

if you are good at maths (and i really mean GOOD because that's already quite a full subject load) then it would be worthwhile but likely not without dropping another subject, which would probably be one of the sciences?
