Hmm...I've enrolled into Accelerated Maths 2 because that was really the only option open to me in biomed for which I could get credit.
So I suppose you're saying this is a bad idea?
Also...I didn't do /that/ well in it (79...didn't count towards my ATAR), but I like to think that has more to do with my lack of effort rather than actual ability xD. Is this something that is worth removing and replacing with something and getting a higher mark (will it hurt gpa or something)? (sorry this is probably a bit silly)
sorry again...kinda off-topic (might need a split?)
Sorry, i'm just confused as to what your situation is, so have you gained credit for UMEP maths and then planning to do AM2.
If this is the case, and you're planning to not to do maths in first sem, it would probably be advisable not to do AM2. AM2 is not impossible to do well at, but you either have to have a pretty good knack for maths, or work extremely diligently, neither of which was applicable to me (when i say good at maths, i don't count myself as being good at maths, i'm not bad at maths, and i am good at VCE math, but that's a whole different kettle of fish to being good at 'real' maths, good at maths is being able to fully understand rather complex concepts-things like the lovely vector spaces you would have enjoyed in UMEP, not the robotic rubbish you do in VCE, even in UMEP to an extent with partial derivatives and multiple integrals). </rant>
If you don't class yourself in the class of people that 'get' maths, then going cold into AM2 is a pretty bad idea unless you're prepared to do a fair chunk of work.
79 is not a 'bad' mark and probably won't hurt your average too much. If i were you this is what i would do: Do whatever subject you would do if you weren't going to credit UMEP, if you get better than 79, leave it as is, if you do worse than 79, get rid of that subject and replace it with UMEP credit. (also it's not silly, it about getting a good GPA which is important-although less so given your guaranteed place.... dude just party it up in your undegrad and save the studying for your MD haha, your undegrad marks will count for little by the end of your MD whihc you're already got a place in haha)
also yeah, kinda off topic, mods feel free to split
