It's hard to judge since I don't know how decent you are at maths but I can tell you doing specialist and methods together, makes everything so much easier in methods. I'd say definitely do specialist; it's not as scary hard as you might think it is - it's actually got relatively little content in comparison to some subject that I see my friends doing like revs *cough* *cough* Usually schools finish teaching the content earlier than other subjects like biology, for example, where parts of Unit 4 gets totally thrown outta the window haha

I once heard from a teacher that the reason why it get scaled up so much is not only because of the fierce competition at the higher end but that universities really do want to encourage peeps into doing specialist. It's highly regarded as a standard if you want to do higher maths (y). But of course, I'm not saying that it's necessarily true though.

But this is coming from me. I absolutely adore maths.

Currently, this year I will be completing 3/4 psych, and 3/4 further maths. Next year I will only be doing 4 subjects : English, methods, chemistry and physics. I am considering dropping physics and doing spesh instead. Now I am decent at maths (not bad, but not super good either). I have looked through the specialist text book and I think it is pretty interesting. From my understanding, a lot of the content in spec overlaps with methods. Would this be beneficial for next year as I am only doing 4 subjects (I can devote half of my time towards maths and the rest between english and chem).

If you really want to do specialist, then why not change it next semester?

Dropping physics and doing spesh instead will be the best decision of your VCE.

Why so?

Multitude of reasons:
1) Physics is not intellectually stimulating at a VCE level and is honestly very dull (more of my scathing yet honest views [Review] VCE Physics 3/4)
2) Spesh is very interesting and compliments your current subject choices
3) Most people who think "should I do spesh" are good enough to do spesh and are just doubting themselves or are a little nervous
4) That sweet sweet scaling of Spesh, you'll have no regrets

Does spesh complement physics as well?

Does spesh complement physics as well?

Their overlap is basically F=ma and what a vector is hahaha
