i dunno about that....hmmm..3u isnt hard, non of the maths really is, is all about the amount of work you put into your maths...i dont do ANYTHING so my school mark for the HSC is 52% which is really MY fault. i'm too damn lazy for my own good. All i can say is, lets hope my school yanks me up ALOT in the HSC, of course, i actually intend to study for the HSC

most of the people who say they dont study yet get good marks are the ones who actually study the most

The only subject you might need talent in is english because a lot of it comes down to a good writing style + the ability to think on the spot but even then your writing style would improve if you read a lot and the ability to think on the spot would be easy if you know the work inside out

Most people can get reasonable marks by just cramming which to me means none of the courses are difficult as long as you do the work

thats my opinion anyway

I don't like people who do that.

The way I see it, is that these people intentionally make you feel like crap because you've studied. And you feel worse when the marks come back and you've received a lower mark.

I just don't understand people like that.

But, there could be another side to this. Some people do do their homework and actually understand it. That's the key word! 'Understanding' your own work is very important. Once you understand your work, you can still do well when you haven't studied.

Doing your home work is studying. If you do all home work throughout the easier you wouldnt really need to study.......just light revision
I am talking about the people who say their totally screwed before an exam and act like they wont get anywhere near 50% yet when the results come back.......all of a sudden they get 95%, pathetic lol

yep, its all about the amount of work you can be bothered to put in! i dont do ANYTHING, and i mean that, i just do stuff in class and thats about it. so here i am bearly passing 2u, and my friend who i always did about the same as in the junior school, perhaps a little bit better, is getting like 90%. i mean, i got 97 in the school cert for maths, but old habbits die hard, and since i've NEVER studied, i do pretty crappy these days!
