Title: What are you up to?
Post by: Stick on March 23, 2013, 06:47:16 pm
With Term 1 about to come to a close, I thought it might be a good idea to create this thread so we can compare and reference how our cohorts are travelling. It might be useful to detect whether we're ahead or behind, relative to everyone else.

We're currently on circular functions (Chapter 6 of the Essentials textbook). We skipped logs and exponentials (Chapter 5) for the time being, so I'm assuming we'll be doing this after our current topic. I had my SAC covering Chapters 1-4 two weeks ago.

I am using the Heinemann book.
We have done Polynomials, Exponentials and Logs, the Modulus function and begun functions and transformations.

Using Maths Quest, finished the course and did my prac exams already.

You guys are awfully slow and behind, I've even got a study score already :P

You can now concentrate on Physics.

Using Maths Quest, my school is making its way through chapter 4, with a SAC on chapters 1, 2, 3 and most of 4 coming up on Wednesday...
I'm finished up to chapter 9 ready to do probability over the holidays.

Cambridge ! Doing differentiation !
Had the first sac. It was awfully long, but the sac was doable! :)

We've completed Relations and Functions, Calculus and algebra, and currently halfway through circular functions. We covered a fair few chapters relating to these topics from the cambridge essentials book and we've had two sacs already

We finished the logs and exponential unit just this week. We're now just doing analysis until the holidays and then first week back, we have a SAC.

Had a SAC about 4 weeks ago on functions, got a G. Missed out on top cohort by 2 marks lol, but I made a lot of errors.

A lot's gonna change for term 2. :)

Wow, looking at this, we're REALLY REALLY far behind. We're halfway through chapter 3 in Maths Quest. :/ Guess I have to start working ahead in the holidays!

This is why I made this thread. Helpful, wasn't it? :)

This seems to be about the right pace from a school perspective.
Any faster, and the teacher would be rushing it.

(the above does not apply to any self- study individual students might be doing )
