I am planning to study management, and am about to attend an International Baccalaureate Diploma programme at my high school. My problem is that the majority of universities request you to take High Level Mathematics, and at the same time have at least a grade 6 at it. I took SL maths, since my teacher told me HL is very demanding and abstract, so now I am in a quite big dilemma. Can anybody tell me how difficult it is and what is studied, and how I could achieve a very good grade? Thanks!
I do HL Maths!! but i am in year 11, my school starts it in year 11 because it has so much in it.
Year 12 is meant to be much harder and hard to get 7’s. I am okay and will do it next year.
Its fast pace though but manageable i am not struggling anyway.
Well i don’t know what country you are from, but its like the non international version that (presumably) your school offers and a little bit more. Its meant to be first year uni equivalent. It’s strange your uni’s require it though, in Australia we only need either a 5 in HL or 6 in STandard. However if you are very good at Maths give it a go, you can always move down can’t you?
Well in the past semester and half a term we have done Coordinate Geometry, Quadratic Functions (revision), Quad Inequations, Circular Functions including reciprocal functions, Binomial Expansion, Sequences and Series, Sigma notation, Polynomials, Graphs of polynomials, Functions (including composite and hybrid), Inverse Functions, Exponential Functions, Logarithms and we are doing Rates of Change now.
I think give it a go, too difficult drop down.
I don’t mind Maths though and keep in mind it means that you will have to go to a lot of Maths classes keep in mind what you enjoy. I am like through 50 pages of summary notes, if that gives an idea.
it will be harder in yr 12 or your final year.
Only suggest you study heaps! make sure you understand EVERYTHING, unsure the first thing you do is ask your teacher no dilly dallying what so ever. Understand fully and practice and its possible
