I'm sort of between both. Enjoying it at normal classes and suffering before assessment tasks.

Indeed, I found 4u much much harder than 3u. Before 3u task, i could revise 2 to 3 topics per night, but in 4u, only 1 topic two nights...( i like to progress my revision carefully...so it takes a long time)...

My best friend got a 100% in 3u last term, but only 85% in 4u. I got 98% in 3u (1 mark lower than her) and 85 % in 4u... Today, we got our marks back. I've been very very lucky to have 93% (42/45) in 4u...KAKAKAKA. However, some of the girls in ourschool are very freaker...

Chinese girl A: 1st - 98%; 2nd - 98%
Chinese girl B: 1st - 98%; 2nd - 96%
Chinese girl C: 1st - 100%; 2nd- 93%

And the rest of the class was like around or below 85%...the lowest mark was 60%...

How could they do that?...cause i didn't find the test easy at all!!!!

(maybe i'm dunned i reckon...>_<...)

I like Ext II

I used to like It more

Until my first test, which happened to be the Mid Course Exam

Not a fun test at all....stupid stupid conics

Had a rectangular hypebola and a circle and 4 points of intersection and all this random stuff

Lines Everywhere

We havent got them back yet

Other than that its ok

i do agree...rectangular hyperbola is very confusing...>_<...
however, we've done 3 topics so far...
Complex number, Conics, Polynomial...

I'm wondering if my school runs the course slower than others...

Our school has done the same topics so far, so if your schools slow, at least mine is too (thought that might give you some comfort)- I think we're doing integration next or graphs- cant remember which....

I think I am enjoying ext 2- but its hard to tell...I mean, yeh I stress about it and often wonder why I chose it, but then at other times I realy enjoy it- ie I really liked polynomials-maybe coz i got it more than complex numbers....

Im probably not going the best I could, but I hope Ill go alright in the midcourse on thursday....I think i'll go alright as I was probably the best at polynomials in our class and probably right up tehre in conics, and about middle for complex numbers.

Im really enjoying ext 2, however there is a lot of work to do on top of my already heavy workload :sleep: . at the moment i am ranked 2nd in my class but i havent done the half yearly yet because ive been ill and i will do it first thing next term. :eek:

well done:wave: ...my marks were all lost in poly section...very frustrating...!!!!

we'll finish graphing tomorrow as it'll be the last day of school and we'll have triple maths:eek: before the assembly...the teacher wants to finish this topic before the holiday so each two sections have been squeezed into one class now...pretty much rushing...

also, every 4u people have been given 30 sets of trail exam papers from different school as practice during the holiday. 10 for 4u, 10 for 3u, 10 for 2u. :worried: They made it as a booklet and we have three...seems very scary...

Extension 2 is great so far, the topics are bearable and so is the workload. The only thing that I am suffering in, is the exams. Our school makes them really hard because a lot of harder Exension 1 topics are in it, which we haven't precisely covered but we are expected to know how to approach them independently...
So far we have covered:
- Graphs
- Complex Numbers
- Conics
==> starting on Polynomials (We've recently finished Extension 1 Polynomials so this immediately extends the Extension 1 theory)

Where is everyone up to at school? I find that we're going a bit slow...we've completed complex/conics/graphs and we're up to reduction formulae for integration

You guys aren't slow we're are slow :p
With school I've finished complex/graphs/polynomials starting conics next term :p
With tutor I've done all those topics and half way through integration :D I think the next topic at school after conics will be integration

So far, I've been enjoying the course, except for conics, which I dislike the heavy algebra. We've also done complex numbers, curve sketching and the method of slicing in volumes.
