Hello all,
my boy is doing Year 11 next year - and dead set on getting entry to ADFA with the aim of doing pilot training.
He's wanting to try for fast jets - and I'm moderating his expectations given how competitive that is.... let alone being selected for pilot training.
My question regards maths.
For those of you who've been through the OSB - is studying advanced maths looked on any more favourably than basic maths?
I sense the extra content itself may not matter a huge amount.
Calculus etc. is probably only good if you're going to build jets rather than fly them.
But would the OSB view it as an example of ability to learn complex tasks quickly, take on a significant commitment and deliver etc?
i.e. demonstrating leadership potential?
Would welcome your views - and also any thoughts from anyone who did Year 11 and 12 advanced maths while still at school.
