TrueTearsss I freaked out when you said you finished in 1.5 weeks because I too thought you meant Unit 3, Unit 4 and ER questions. That's impossible.

It took me ages to finish Unit 3 and Unit 4, but I definitely didn't overwork and do a chapter every day because I felt paranoid as to whether or not I'd retain everything =P

Yeah, I did all, same with spesh too, but spesh took longer.

I did ~ 14-15 hours a day. It didn't feel that long because I was really enjoying the work.

Lol wtf I don't even think I'm awake for that long, and I can't work on one thing for the whole day. Amazing dedication.

I see too much emphasis on time, and not enough on quality. Seriously TT, not everyone possesses your IQ and most of your students would be nowhere near your standards so you are only putting them under the pump.
My focus would be to learn 3-4 chapters maximum over the holidays and consolidate on it then trying to rip the whole course.

Clearly someone who learnt most of yr 12 in a couple of weeks should atleast be considered in the higher end of the IQ scale.
You just cant absorb that much information in that much time, no matter how hard you work! Unless you are phenomenal like TT......

I'd second to that :P jk IQ's are overated anyway.

If you're in the stalker mood, browse through TT's threads and you will see that he payed lots of attention to details during that time, showing (what I myself couldn't imagine earlier) that it's possible to put in that much effort.

I dont understand your purpose to try and finish the course off before the holidays. I agree you should have a generous timeframe between that and the exams, to practice revision and prac exams etc. (3 months is more then enough), but 10 months is a joke, espescially for normal students. It's going to backfire.

PS- i  havent followed the thread closesly, but is this one of those accelerated maths groups? then it's ok i spose....
