Easiest to hardest:

1. Complex nos
2. Polynomials
3. Graphs
4. Volumes (just annoying sometimes)
5. Conics
6. Integration
7. Harder 3U
8. Mechanics

Hmm I thought mechanics is deemed hard only because it is taught the last.
But harder 3u, i have to agree, is the hardest.

this is what the head maths teacher told me... i find it enjoyable and not very difficult...
i also agree that harder 3u is the most difficult

Harder 3U (in particular circle geometry Q)--->Mechanics--->Conics(more practice maybe)--->[All others are relatively easy]

This. Complex numbers are waaaay easy compared to integration.

I don't get it, how can Harder 3 unit be harder than chapters made just for 4 unit?

also circle geo, fuck i hate it, don't tell me the reasons get even more annoying to write :(

Mechanics sounds fun though.

Well, a lot of the chapters made for 4 unit are somewhat elementary extensions on the 3 unit course. Harder 3 unit starts to focus on more interesting mathematics, often brushing on number theory in HSC question 8s :) Mechanics is quite great, in particular circular motion. Resisted motion questions have very simple theory, but often the amount of manipulating necessary to reach a given result is counter-intuitive.

Wow, that sounds quite interesting, it sounds as mathematical as all HSC physics should be :)

Beginning of this year i was going to drop to 2 unit, didn't try at all got 50% in my first 3 unit exam, now im going to do 4 unit, got 89% in my last exam :p

Solid effort :) 4 Unit isn't as hard as it sounds (despite the fact that I haven't scored well in a single 4 unit exam thus far)

Easy to Hardest :
Harder 3u, Mechanics, conics, complex no. polynomials, volumes, integrations, graphs =p =p

Are you sure you didn't mean the other way around? Harder 3unit can no way be the easiest.
hah what i said is what i wish it would turned out to be =p
imagine harder 3unit becomes easier 3unit ><!

Haha, well it's good to hear it isn't too hard. I'm sure you'll do fine.

What is like the average score for the average 4 unit student in tests?
