Overview
Course description
Course structure and requirements
Mathematics Extension 2 is a Year 12-only course. Students studying the Mathematics Extension 2 Year 12 course must:
- have studied the Mathematics Advanced and the Mathematics Extension 1 Year 11 courses
- study the Mathematics Advanced Year 12 and Mathematics Extension 1 Year 12 courses concurrently with Mathematics Extension 2 Year 12.
An alternative approach is for students to study Mathematics Advanced Year 11 and Mathematics Advanced Year 12 before studying Mathematics Extension 1 Years 11–12 and Mathematics Extension 2 Year 12.
