WHO LOVES MATH <3

[mandy]

Is anyone here doing all three math: Further, Methods and Specialist?
How are you finding it? Is it all too much ? Because I may do it next year, and I wanna know how it is ..

Did methods, specialist and uni extension maths myself, but I had a few friends who did those three maths in a single year. The only trend I noticed in their raw scores were that further > methods > specialist.

Hmm, but after scaling, was it still like that ?
And also, did you handle your three maths okay?

I LOVE MATHS!!!!!!!!!

The love is eternal <3

like ethanol

I rather enjoy maths.  Doubt I could be bothered with Further though.

Up until year 12, I would've put math behind most sciences, but since this year, math is my favorite subject by far, I could do maths all day I love it that much. University maths gets even better so it just keeps looking better for maths.
btw im only doing spesh and methods, further would be a total waste as its completely boring and is less math and more bull****
Maths lit the fire in my heart, LIKE ZA FIREBALL.

lets say... i can have a bunch of homework loaded on me ( eg: eng/physics/lote) and i cbf doing it but somehow I find myself looking at a practice exam for maths
lol

Hahaha, thats how it is for me as well. I have a mountain of hw, like literally.. and all I do is my math, lol. Not very helpful, but makes me feel better cos I can do it.

Is anyone here NOT doing any math: Further, Methods and Specialist?

Yeah! - Im finding year 12 less stressful.

They had varied raw scores but after scaling one of them had methods>specialist>further. I think spesh was the only one in the 30s. One has to be in the increment as well. Oh and I did methods in year 11 so I guess that makes my anecdote irrelevant (but in retrospect it would've been managable).

Hope that you don't have annoying teachers that do book checks, and do only the amount of homework you really have to do. I basically only did exercises for probability in Methods because everything else was basically covered in spesh (which did involve a lot of work), or I would have understood it from in-class teaching and didn't require further conceptual understanding or practise. Basically, don't do maths homework for the sake of satisfying your syllabus, but instead focus on what you can gain from it.

I hate Maths, Maths is baaaaaaaaaaaad. I only do Methods for prerequisites, and only need 25.

So you're saying it's better to simply listen and concentrate in class, and only do questions when I actually need practise? That sounds good.
And luckily, I don't have annoying-book-checking teachers, rofl. They just set the hw and never speak of it again. Don't even know if thats a good or bad thing!

It depends on the person. I know that I probably understand concepts faster than most people so this is by no means a strategy that will suit everyone. But yes, that's how you should work in general with most subjects. If you understand the conceptual stuff behind it well enough, you won't need that much practise. Well, not of the dodgy textbook-grind variety at least...exam preparation gets a bit different though for the analysis questions though which many people might not have the capability to work out the methods to solve them the first time around and require some experience beforehand.
