Dropping to general? (1 Viewer)

[doritos.]

Right now, I'm doing 2 Unit Maths but after getting my results back, it's clear to me I should certainly drop it altogether

But yeah, it just feels weird not doing maths. And is it to late to drop to general?
I'm kinda torn because I'm set on doing financial planning/accounting or business related courses in uni. And I just wanna know if General will be good enough! I have 10 units as well so they alllll count which makes me stress even more!

I'm doing well in my other subjects but MATHS is definitely killing me
I know I'm able to do 2 unit and I'm being a lazy ass but I find it takes me agesssss to grasp things.
So yeah, anyway main question: IS GENERAL ENOUGH FOR WHAT I WANNA DO?

I dropped down to general (I felt really dumb x.x'), so i tried to look on the bright side;
you can actually apply it to reality!

I mean, there were financial things in the course (preliminary), just borrow a text book from the previous year or something and you'll see.
You could just do a bridging course if 2u+ mathematics is recommended/required for the course, that way you won't have to study and fail the whole course!

I guess in the end it still has to be your choice. Sorry if I didn't help at all ._.

Yeah I want to drop. I've pretty much been thinking about it for a while!
But yeah there's like a stigma attached to general maths but I really am not great at it!
I hate comparing myself to others esp. in maths but I feel pretty dumb too T______T
Thanks anyway

I thought about dropping down for a whole year and finally did it.
I actually love maths *yeah i know right, as if* LOL. but yeahhh

oh well, if it's what i need then I'm fine with it i guess ==".
No worries

You know the thing is I have a 2 Unit Maths Assessment tomorrow.
And I am dooooooomed

Yeah you're right, I feel the same. I'd rather do well in General than suffer in 2 unit.
Hmm, I'm thinking straight after my failed exam, I'm gonna ask about dropping to General!

*not ask, actually do it LOL

General maths will be enough if you want to do accounting.

However I do strongly suggest that you study smarter for 2U and aim for ~70% rather than dropping to general though...

That was exactly me. I was in your position last term x))
I did my assessment, didn't care and just dropped down.

For me<<< it's wayyy better. and if its easy and interesting and fun thenyou can really remember everything they teach soooo yep x)
you can study a bit less than usual, and there'd be less stress. ^^

lol wow! yeah okay im pretty much decided!
now to tell my parents T________T

i'm just worried cos tomorrow's assessment is gonna count for year 12..
and then i drop to general.. so argh it sucks! =/

but anywho, yeaaaah i'll be less stressed (Y)

wish i dropped sooooner instead of mulling over it, feeling dumb :L

Ugh, I completely screwed my first assessment --- which happens to be the easiest.
was sick and couldnt think at all.. but i didn't want to sit the examanother day because of the noise in the corridor.. -.- *sigh*
it's nice to know there's someone out there like me ><

 

[doritos.]

ohhh okay!
yeah glad theres someone like me T______T
im really not prepared at all for tomorrow!
ahhhh anyway doesn't matter..

I don't get bridging courses. If you aren't of the capacity to do 2 unit maths in the first place - then your attempt at the 2 unit bridging course will not only be a big waste of time, but also a waste in effort, and money.

Although as anna said, General is enough for accounting - anything higher, I think don't bother.
