What's your reasons for dropping PE?
My school will only allow us to do 5 subjects in year 12.
Yeah i find maths relatively 'easy' as in you get a formula you apply the formula and i like how there is always a
set answer, just wondering does spesh really help with methods and physics and vice versa like my teachers
are telling me or is that just some bullsh*t theyre tellin me so i continue with it?
Firstly, if it comes down to breezing through PE for 40-45+ or labouring through spesh for 30-35, the choice seems (on the surface at least) simpler: do PE. Your end scores will be very similar if those are likely events and the only difference is you will have done much more work for spesh. If it isn't a prereq for a course you want (like some engineering courses) and you don't particularly want to do it/enjoy it then it you might consider not doing it.
Secondly, the whole idea of picking up a formula and applying it is most relevant in physics, then methods and least relevant spesh. I think spesh requires a different type of thought process. Maybe check out a spesh textbook, just flick through (don't get intimidated, most of it isn't as hard as it initially looks/sounds) and see whether that's the sort of maths you will be interested in.
What I would also like to say is that spesh does have an added advantage of being linked to methods and physics. If you study hard for spesh you can be well set-up for about two thirds of the methods course. I wouldn't say doing spesh helps much for physics, but rather physics helps out with doing spesh, particularly considering most people don't get up to the physics-related part of the spesh course until the spesh-related part of the physics course has already been examined at midyears. But then from what I hear, PE has the added advantage of being linked to biology somewhat.
My two cents
