I'm going to australia for university and i was just wondering how IB Math SL compares with HSC mathematics. I know that it is at least harder than general HSC (formely, 2 unit) and probably just as hard as math extension 1 (3 unit).

I have looked at the sylabus of all three courses and the main differences i could see is that 2 unit math does not to binomials and some of the statistics that we do. Is there any other differences? Does anyone else know the if Math SL is harder than extension 1 mathematics?

Your right, it lies between 2 unit and 3 unit, both in difficulty and university recognition.

I found the IB course more far more organized and extensive than 3 unit (have tried both)..

IB touches more topics... vectors matrices? but I wouldn't say its harder. Its just alot more content.
