Core math is bloody easy. Core math can be done by someone in year 6. Extended math is also easy though. But, take extended, becasue there is not that much of a difference.

well yeah the core is VERY easy, but the highest mark you can gain in core is a C.

So even if you get a full mark and a 100%, you will still get a C as your grade ..

.. Extended however is slightly harder than core, but you can at least aim for a B or an A or even an A* ..

either way .. best of luck! ;)

Personally, I find extended easier... You can't do Maths properly without understanding what you are doing... And extended Maths makes provision for that. :)
