I highly recommend studying business maths. Once you have mastered TVM solver, you are cruising.

Haha yeah :P but you have to put the correct values in... thats where most people make their silly mistakes

At rooboy11... that's the same with every module though, one little mistake will cost you the answer in MC questions :P ;)

Yes Nick, I am leaning towards Business Math actually. This year for General the majority of the class struggled with it for some reason- i agree, understanding the TVM Solver does help! :P

Ok, I think I've decided I'm doing Business Math, Matrcies and Number Patterns. Now all I have to worry about is the core!

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?

you don't need units 1/2 . further maths is pretty simple. i learnt most of the modules by myself, didn't really need the teacher.

So what would be people's advice on which 2 modules are easier and better to study. Geometry and Trig, Matrices or business maths.
