My first year of math had some pretty substantial overlap with MX2, but there was new stuff too. So partially true for me at least  ;D

Not really, I didn't know it existed back when I did the HSC, I found it soon after starting uni :)

Did it cover all 8 topics of MX2 in the HSC?

So you used this site as a source to help others, rather than using it to your benefit?

Nah, integration techniques and complex numbers primarily, I'd wager a lot of it wasn't touched  ;D

Pretty much!  ;D

So no graphs/curve sketching, conics, polynomials, volumes, mechanics or "harder MX1"?

I had this really weird and amusing thought that if one day, if I went to a lecture, I would get your autograph as well as Elyse's and Jake's  ;D

Anyways, how come the NSW sector of ATARNOTES isn't dedicated for Uni students. I mean if uni students have questions they're struggling with, another person can come by and help them, can't they

Graphs/curve sketching yes but not all of it, harder MX1 absolutely, and probably a bit of the polynomials stuff, the rest, nope!  ;D

Very true, I'd hope that now that NSW ATAR Notes is more popular that the uni boards will be more popular next year  :)

Damm, that's why it's better if you did MX2 in year 12. Why didn't you seize the opportunity to do so Jamon?

I guess it's not popular enough. Another reason why uni students can't really use it to their advantage. :'(

Confession: Ok so one day in HSC chemistry, we were trying to do anion and cation tests. I was cleaning up the test tube with the DI water but I stuck the pipe too far in. When I let go of the bottle, the pipe sucked in a ton of permanganate ions and the liquid instantly turned bright pink.

I totally thought you just said "pomegranate ions". I was wondering to myself what they were and then you said it turned bright pink so I thought it all made sense. Then I realised that I am stupid.

Looking back, I do regret not doing it. My school doesn't have MX2 classes, so if I took the course, I would have had to have made special arrangements for tutoring sessions with my teacher. I totally could have, and wish I did, but at the time I had 12 units I really enjoyed, I saw no reason to break what wasn't broken  ;D

Maybe you could've studied the course externally through outside tutor, TAFE or distance education (I believe these are the 3 methods to doing extension maths externally if for any reason your school doesn't permit you, there is a timetable clash, or if the classes are full and there is no space for you to enter the class, although you do need permission from your school principal in order to study a course externally)

But yeah in the end you did well so really, that's all that matters (and you got into your desired course)

They are but they're more money unnecessarily spent as well. Cost VS Benefit

Precisely. I could have studied it at school! But I was travelling well, at the time I didn't think it beneficial. In hindsight, it would have been, but then I have no idea what I would have dropped anyway, so no dramas  ;D

But if you're that desperate for it and there is no other way to study the course in school then yeah, you'll have to do it out of school.

Why would you even be that desperate?
