    I am so pissed literally. I just don't get this whole project math's thing seriously. And it is vital since if you don't pass it you fail your whole LC. All I can say is I wish it never existed.

    Anyone else here worried? And I'm at ordinary level I feel so bad for the HL students here.

    It's not true that if you fail one subject you fail your whole LC.

    It is effectively true. If you fail maths, say goodbye to getting into 3rd level.

    The irony of correcting a misspelling of petty on an online forum.

    Fair enough, to be honest he is following me around and it is fairly annoying but I am willing to stay out of his way if he is mine.

    As for the topic of maths, I would definitely stick it out, they will be desperate to pass as many people as possible in my opinion!

    I'm fortunate in that Maths comes naturally to me, but I am still a bit worried. I hate the way that, despite the fact they are trying to stop people learning stuff off, they still have so many proofs on the course. So much extra time spent on them when we could be practicing real maths.

    Maths has to be in your top 6 points wise. Like you add your 25 points onto your maths score and if that score is higher than another subject you can include maths. So if you get a D3 which is worth 70 points and 60 from Irish then you count maths.
    Hope this makes sense but if I understand you then I think you have been misinformed, so stick at the HL :)

    Well I'm almost 100% sure on that! People thought that once they did HL they could just add the 25 points on even if the combined points are lower than the other subjects. So stick with it and good luck :)

    Right, gentlemen, consider yourselves lucky Canard got here first!

    So, you get yourselves a final chance: stick to the above or get yourselves a time out.

    - Ignore one another, do not address one another in any way, good, bad or indifferent.

    - No sly sideswipes at one another. If I even *suspect* that this is intended, I won't give any benefit of the doubt, so read each post twice.

    - No sideswipes or prodding at anyone else either. The LC starts shortly, people are nervous and stressed, no-one needs any additional aggravation.

    There is NO need to respond to this post on thread. In fact, I would strongly advise against it!

    Maths is fuppin great. Learn to love it. A friend for life it is. A quirky, bollucks of a friend who you'll never fully understand, who will annoy you to point of wanting to nail your scrotum to a tree...but a friend nonetheless.
