Changing modules?
« on: November 02, 2012, 04:23:33 pm »
So during the reading time of exam 1 I made a spur of the moment decision to do business maths rather than geometry and trig (which is what we've studied in class). Yes I know that sounds stupid, but trig's always been my weakest module and I wasn't confident about doing well in that section, so I chose to do business maths which I have covered in the past and find it the easiest of the two modules. It probably paid off in the end considering I did much better than what I would've scored had I done the trig section. But I was just wondering, could I avoid any sort of penalty, or marks or something should I choose to switch modules again and do trig on exam 2? Does that matter at all?

Thanks :)

No it doesn't matter, you can do whatever modules you like for exam 2 now.

Yes, that's correct.  And when I did Further, I definitely changed modules.  Exam 1 I did matrices instead geometry/trigonometry which was taught at school.  But in exam 2, I went back to geometry and trigonometry because I found it easier.
