regretting not doing a 3/4 in yr 11 and having 6 subjects in yr 12?

IMO UMEP Maths is way harder than Spesh. In Uni Maths I can't really keep up with what is being said and I just transcribe what's on the board without really understanding it >.<, this never happens in school.

lol, kyzoo, i can tell you ur not alone. The other 10 ppl in our class would be just as confused as us. Like all that crap about planes and their cartesian/parmetric eqn went wayyyyy over my head in class. Just copied the notes down, then wheni looke over them it made much more sense. I think that umep just takes a litte more concederation than spech as the concepts are a bit harder to grasp and the pace we learn at is way faster than spech. So many more formulas to remeber/ learn to derive.....

dammit, wish we had it like trinity where they teach uni maths as an actual subject with like at least 4/5 periods of it a week.....the extra class time would make all the difference as opposed to a two hour lecture once a week

Good point. and when you're Year 11, you're actually competiting with more mature and slightly more intelligent (in general) Year 12 students. So there are pros and cons
(However, BM scales down right...? So that's the flaw.)

I would have to disagree, because if you are doing a 3/4 in year 11, it will more than likely be because you like it and/or good at it. So you will have no excuses, but year 12s have 5 or 6 3/4's.

Basically feeling the regret - especially on the practise GAT day at my school where I was totally left out o_o
made me amazed by the amount of people who do mainly art/psych 3/4's at my school this year

*lowers head* 

DONT BE SAD! Im in year 11 too AND THE GAT IS FREAKING ME OUT . my school is so serious about it. they even make it compulsory that we have to sit a trial GAT exam. so its like we're doing GAT 2 times. I guess, on the bright side, you wont need to go through any of this. CHEER UP AND STUDY HARD FOR YOUR 6 SUBJECTS NEXT YEAR! GOODLUCK!

xD I bet HJ gets it completely. Sometimes the teacher writes the stuff down so fast that I haven't copied it all down by the time she rubs it out. But I think we get distracted a lot by the people we sit next to >.< Maybe if we all had to sit at separate desks things would be different.

lol this is defs true, but meh, as long as you half get it, when you revise it, it's all sweet:)

Agreed, i know that at my school ,the yr 11s that do methods always outperform the year 12s

[kyzoo]

Same, more than half of our 40+'s are Year 11's
