Dropping maths

AllyBushell

I'm thinking of dropping from honours maths to pass on Friday. Is there a lot of difference in the papers? If so, what are the differences?

Dropping as I don't need points, just a pass in any level

My teachers said don't drop on the day- no matter what..

But if you really don't think you can pass higher level, you have to make that decision yourself.

One of my friends said he almost had to do a downgrade course because he complicated things way too much after doing higher level for 2 years... e.g his answers were way too complex when a much easier method was possible.

I've decided to drop, but now that you mention it, it probably would be a good idea to uncomplicate my answers

When I was in LC I dropped from honours history to pass on the day. Got an A1. Take from that what you will.

Just make sure to do some exam papers before Friday and Monday. I don't know why but Higher Level students seem prone to being overly complicated, i personally always think "is this a trick question"?

do you regret dropping now ?

Come on, whether or not they do doesn't matter. Looking back on exams is never a good idea so don't try and make them feel worse if they do regret it.
