General advice for Further Maths students

[Andy]

Hi, I'm doing Further next year and would like some advice on the subject. I am aware that some people study modules outside of class for exam rather than the one's the class covers. Which modules would you recommend or think would be easiest?

[Odette]

Easiest Modules:
Matrices
Number Patterns
Business Maths (however you can make quite a number of careless mistakes)

All modules are quite simple and easy to understand however you need to be careful of the silly mistakes

[doboman]

hey there!
I guess all difficluties in the modules are the same, it will just depend on what you like. If your a Geometry boy, mod 2 would be good for you.
I did Mod1,3,6
There good modules, and if you keep focus, you will be able to go well

[hejda]

Well, I got 42 for further, and I did Number Patterns, Matrices & Linear Relations. If you need any help with those I can assist.

My schools doing:
Geometry
Number Patterns
Graphs & Relations

[Odette]

My schools doing:
Geometry
Number Patterns
Graphs & Relations

They're pretty easy modules good luck with them

Oh and rooboy you should write something you were the one who got 50 in the subject

[brendan]

we did geometry, graphs and relations, and business maths. in my spare time i also learned number patterns. i never liked matrices or networks.

[Odette]

My class did:
Business Math
Geo and Trig
Number Patterns

Pretty easy modules but i never liked geo and trig

[Andy]

what sort of questions are in business math for further? (hire purchase etc), we did this topic this year for general maths.

[Odette]

Simple interest, compound interest, hire purchase, inflation, loans, etc

[elaine]

we did geometry, graphs and relations, and business maths. in my spare time i also learned number patterns. i never liked matrices or networks.

hey do you recommend learning modules on your own? I don't like networks either and I haven't done further 1&2 , so would it be easy for me to learn something like geometry myself?
And does it really matter if I haven't done Units 1&2?

[Andy]

When you say you haven't done units 1 and 2 Elaine, do you mean you have not done General in year 11?

[pillmatic]

I think thats what she means.

I did half of it in year 10. I've heard its simple stuff that you can pick up easily + your doing methods, so it shouldn't be too much of a hassle.

hey guys, dont ever do Geometry...the worst module in further!... i would advise module 4 or module 6. vcaa make geometry so that 1 mistake makes you lose the whole answer- espcially in MC...however if you like Geometry with a passion, discard me advise:P
