I had the biggest memory fade, then I felt really nervous and my legs were shaking really bad. Now my school wants to srop me from doing EXT but I dont want to drop.

Whats the lowest you guys have ever gotten?

In MX1 i got 24.5/40 but still came third and in 2unit 38/45 but still third.
In year 7 I got 38% in a problem solving test I think.

P.S You should definetly drop MX1 if you get 0.

First question: Are you a troll?
Second question: How do you get 0 in an MX1 test? I could understand if it was an MX5 Test. But didn't you beg to the teacher for half a mark, out of dignity?

Well they can't really do that if you just write your name and fall asleep. I was thinking of doing that for the School Certificate.

I was wondering, you can do maths in uni while you are in high school.
How far unit wise can you go. ie. 7unit maths etc.

... the only way possible i see someone getting 0 is by either just sitting there for their test and doing nothing or malpractice... I don't think it's humanly possible to get a 0 if u attempted all questions and didnt even get 1 mark...

Yea i was thinking of circling in all the multiple choice answers and seeing if i would get 100% for the multiple choice, then i thought what my parents would say if i got less than a Band 5. lol.
I think everyone knows what i did.

I know a guy who got 0 for his MX1 test last year in yr 11. He kept going until last term when he threw in the towel coz he fucked the half yearlies quite badly.

I say keep going, study your ass off for your preliminary exam and see how u go. If u fuck it, then yes DROP MX1.

LOL. That scared, and it's not even HSC yet. You gotta deal with your stress issues.

The lowest I got in MX1 was 68% because I didn't study. So STFU and go and study.

...MX1 is not an elite course in any way. And how you're doing in it is relative to how hard the papers are at your school anyway. Sometimes they have fun designing exams that no one can get full marks in.

But 0...

Prelim course, if I remember correctly, involves like um...simultaenous equations and factorisation as part of the course? Oh and things like scientific notation which your calculator can do?

LEARN HOW TO USE YOUR CALCULATOR OR DROP THE COURSE.
