how much harder is 4u than 3u? do u guys think?

like i reckon the 3u work is HEAPS harder than 2unit, does 3u 2 4u a huge jump, or is it just harder 3unit and some extra topics

It's definately not impossible. I believe that the main problem with 4U is actually all the hype and all the added pressure you have from other sources. In my opinion the 4U course (which by the way I have not as yet finished) could be done within like 3 months by us if we didn't have the whole HSC stress/pressure thing.

It really would depend on quite a few things.
E.g. I thought 4u was easier than 3u, because there were less topics to try and do things on (the fact that I already knew some of the stuff helped - I *wrote* our class' inequalities problems (or to be more accurate, compiled them from various sources) :) )

I think the gap between 3u and 4u is much bigger and harder.
3u is pretty much like learning the harder part of 2u but in 4u, you learn completely new stuff and its much more harder.
Damn you "Harder 3u"!

No way 3u is easier than 4u.
The harder 3u part of 4u ALONE is harder than the whole 3u course.
I mean...no way i can master harder 3u but 3u itself...maybe.

I agree with marsenal, Ext2 is overrated. It was merely alot more time and effort devoted to Mathematics, well alot alot alot more. And as many have said: consistency is highly influencin' when it comes to how well you do. :) (As a side note: Actuarial Studies is also overrated, atm... well, it's first year, it's meant to be easy. :p)
