What's the most difficult topic to understand?

I know Further isn't very difficult in terms of understanding and all, but to the 2013 Further students, any opinions?
Modules i'll be doing are 1,2 and 3.

I just want to go through the more 'difficult' things, so I don't see them for the first time during next year.

Thanks.

Difficulty is relative.

As your profile states, the simple things screw you over in VCE. This is certainly the case in Further.

Yeah, maybe I should just start doing chapter by chapter and see for myself...
Wondering how far i'll get through in a weeks work of Further...

No concept is difficult in Further. Just be aware of tricks they can throw in!

Are VCAA's nasty tricks more of a wording thing?
Haven't looked at any Further as of yet :(

It really depends on the person.
It's the trick questions were people tend to lose marks at!

There's a chance you'll get through the whole course in a week if you work pretty hard :p

I'd say reading the question carefully and knowing exactly what is asked is key when doing further. Once you know what needs to be done there isn't much difficulty in the working out.

There is no topic that is overly difficult in further maths, but if I were to choose one......I would say Business maths, that took longer than the rest  to understand. -.-
