Year 11 Maths Woes. (1 Viewer)

[blitzacer]

Since the start of year 11 i've pretty much flunked all my test, first one i got around 50% and for my assessment, i'm pretty sure i've screwed that up as well. I do Maths extension, so i'm pretty stressed at the moment. Should i completely avoid the thought of taking up extension 2 in year 12? I go to a top 15 school if that helps a bit =(

well, if ur doing well in ext. 1 then yes, you may go along with ext 2 for yr 12 otherwise if u already know, now, that you can't cope with it then scrap the idea. What skool do u go to?

its too early to be making decisions about what you are going to do in year 12. for now, you should be focussing on picking up your marks and trying to work out where you went wrong in your tests/assessments. if you lift your game now, and keep it up, you should be able to do ext 2 next year, but i would keep my focus on whats important NOW, rather than later.

at our school, those girls who didn't choose maths were called up by the curriculum teacher and she persuaded ("forced") for them to at least choose general

I go to FSHS =) and well, i guess i should start focusing more at school x_x, however i'm not considering the idea of dropping maths just because my parents are so uptight about maths and all....asians =(

i would think about the future, its better to be stressed now and get yourself sorted so next year you can have a smooth run. I have learnt this the lonnnnnnnnnnng way while dealing with my subjects.

But yeah if you get your together you may be able to get sorted and do ext 2 ... if u want to ... like if you dont really need to and dont really have a desire to do it dont

yeah at our school you have to do maths ( just the way the lines worked out) although obs you can drop it after year 11 and do 10 units for the hsc. Also though, some people have got out of doing maths by doing another course by correspondence and going to TAFE and stuff

even if you just do 3 unit maths for the hsc its still good!

and its still good if you do 2u, or if you do general.

do what you are comfortable with and you will do much better than you would if you did a subject you didnt enjoy or understand.

what happens if you decide at the beginning of year 11 that you are going to do certain subjects but by the end of the year, you find that you dont enjoy them as much as you thought you would, or you are excelling in others?

yes, its a good idea to think about the future, but there is no need to make decisions now about what you are going to be doing a year from now. situations change.

^^^^ yeah you should have a "plan" but you should no think that it is the only way, stuff changes but you still have to try and look at the big picture

i feel u should do 4u or 2u or nothing... if you do 3u the 3u course takes so much more time than the 2u course and only worth 50..

i did 3U maths in year 11, and now im not doing any maths, at ruse. You don't need maths, the subject is over-rated.

The work people put into maths just seems disproportionate to the amount of work they do in other subjects to get the same marks :-/

 

[OZGIRL86]

if ur having yr 11 maths woes, it won't get any easier, you will be having yr 12 maths woes, unless you work harder

^^^ damn it! lol i wish it wasnt like that

that is sort of true i put soooooo much work into maths, more than 3 other subs combined, but i dont feel bad because you are meant to do maths@ ( like if i put heaps of work into say, chemistry, i would feel bad as it would be detracting from my other subjects, but with maths i feel like it what you are meant to do) weird but true

like people have told me, maths is just all practise

if you weren't born a maths genius then all you gotta do is spend more time on it
