Title: further modules confusion
Post by: somethingeevee on July 12, 2021, 06:17:55 pm
Hey yall,
I'm currently unsure what modules I want to select for further maths; my school is doing geometry and networks.
Instead of networks I want to pick 'graphs and relations' since I am undertaking maths methods and familiar with most of the concepts.
What do you guys reckon I should do? Have you had good/bad encounters with networks or graphs and relations?

Hi Eevee,

I was in quite a similar situation to you last year! While an understanding of methods will be helpful for 'graphs and relations', there are some concepts that are new and I actually found quite challenging to pick up. SO, I ended up sticking to Networks for the exam and it was my best section. Also, you will still have to undertake a SAC on networks so you will hopefully have in-depth knowledge by studying for the SAC.

Hi Eloise,
Thank you for the response! I will definitely rethink it, I find it a little bit annoying that even if I pick graphs and relations, I am still expected to complete the networks sac at school, hence needing to actually study for that too.. I'm going to think about what you said... I may stick to networks at this point.

Thanks again  :)
