Woah. Did not know this
they dont do advanced in the hsc. i dont think they even do it in the trials
In some schools, they do the trial exams and all the assessments for all three and can decide right at the end of the year whether they want to sit the adv maths or Extn 2 HSC exam (as my elder daughter was given the choice to do). Since she was ranked 1 in adv maths, MX1 and MX2 and her then boyfriend (now my SIL) was ranked 2 in all three, by her choosing to do MX2 and him choosing to do Adv maths, they both got ranked first for everything because the MX1 cohort which does MX2 and the MX1 cohort that only does adv maths are separately ranked, so both could rank first in MX1, as well as rank first respectively in adv maths & MX2 (which was a nice little bit of game optimisation between them).
didnt do any advanced assessments in y12
To specifically answer your question, they can sit the HSC adv maths in Yr 11 or earlier (in my son’s case, Yr 9), but as Hazzrat responded, it is optional, and many don’t officially sit the exam at all. It is good practice though, to sit an HSC exam under zero pressure, knowing that the mark will eventually be replaced by the MX2 mark.
They can't split the unit up? Like how if you take an extension and it counts towards your best ten they split your next best in half or whatever? (I'm still a little fuzzy on that, too 🥲)
They do split units the way you’ve described, but they don’t do so with three levels of maths. I don’t know the reason - perhaps they think it gives some an advantage, but it would also encourage more students to take more challenging levels of study.
if u acceleraed shity chem and english and mabe phsics u would hae onl had to do math ext 1 and 2 in the whole year
bruh not all schools offer accel science and eng
they really should. mx2 and mx1 is built upon everything done in high school. Meanwhile the content in hsc science or english doesn't require any actual prerequisites. Math needs previous experience to be good at, so it should be done last. It would be better if the science and english could get out of the way to focus on math instead
yeah most schools offer math accel but not other subjects but at the same time accel eng would kill me
it's called a compressed curriculum in the school im at, everyone does it. 3 subjects for year 11 and 3 subjects for year 12. Who in their right mind would rather do 6 all at the end?
why u hiding ur bandAll this being said to be completely honest I bludged maths advanced the whole time and when I see this notice
View attachment 48327
I always laugh cause tbh a lot of mx2 kids would get 0 in a lot of advanced only topics
like my friends ask me to help with some mx2 questions and I can solve them pretty quickly but I remember spending a whole free period trying to help my friend solve an advanced multi choice on functions
