Title: How is linear easy/
Post by: VCEAcc34 on June 26, 2011, 11:06:05 pm: i was just doing some graphs and shit and it's fucking hard and i'm just at the start of it.

So bascially i'm screwed for the exam because linear is meant to be the easy if not the easiet..

Yeah. The constraints are the hardest part of the module. Nail that and you can pretty say you've nailed the module.

IMO if you want to score high just pick the modules least people do..they are hardly tricky, a few people who I know got 50 did 'weird' modules

Post by: xtremeownage on June 30, 2011, 06:17:57 pm: so its better to do weird modules? can u lose more marks on 3 hard modules then easy modules and still get same score?

Post by: schnappy on June 30, 2011, 09:47:50 pm: It's easy if you're good at methods -> use to manipulating equations.

What particularly are you having trouble with? You say first few chapters... so sketching y=mx+c etc?

Isn't this section the one that is really helpful for methods? or vice versa as methods knowledge becomes really handy

Well I was trying to say, its harder to lose marks on less popular modules because they are less tricky since they try to separate the people doing popular modules..

Post by: nemolala on July 01, 2011, 10:35:45 am: is too late to change now? we only have one module left..
