I was really good with math from year 9 to 11 but in year 11 I had a passing in my family and decided to drop to standard math and English as I could not cope. Is it possible for me to still do computer science as someone who did standard math?

even with adv doing math1311 will be incredibly difficult. it literally covers ext 2 maths in the first few weeks, i wouldnt bother. people with ext1 barely pass..

with standard maths dont bother doing comp sci

it can't possibly be that bad... why would the assumed knowledge only be ext1 if "ext1 students can't pass" 😭

because there's people who for some reason don't do extension 2 because of NESA's shit policy

In other states you have to do extension 2 if you want to do extension 1, it's called specialist math, everything is in one subject.

so based on ur logic ur saying that for courses that have assumed knowledge for math adv for example u basically need to do ext 1 to pass?

no thats not what it means lol, we're talking about engineering and comp sci. ext1 assumed knowledge means they expect everyone in that course has achieved a certain benchmark score for mx1
