ALL YEAR 11s: DO SPECIALIST MATHS! :)

[3Xamz]

From personal experience, doing specialist maths has really helped me put methods on easy drive.

I know its different to different people but from my experience it's one piece of advice that I can give you.
Of course the two subjects aren't identical, but I just realized today that a lot of what's on the methods exam is fine-tuned in specialist.

If you have a grip on specialist; probability is the only thing you have to study for methods IMO.

IMO, call it an epiphany or whatever but it just came to me now, so don't hate.

Of course this thread is directed at those on the fence, and you learn a lot more in specialist; I reckon. It's not as daunting as people make it seem out to be, it's rather enjoyable.

Is spesh harder than unimaths? :/

[slothpomba]

Depends what uni math you're talking about

[iNerd]

did you do GMA last year?
apparently GMA is harder then Spesh? bit skeptical on that one; forgot who I heard it off

>Implying all yr.11 students do methods

when are you gonna use specialist maths in real life?

wasted 2 years of your life
well done

100% endorsed. Specialist is heaps of fun, and the mark-up really helps at the end of the year . . .
If you're deliberating between Spec/Further - take Spec - it's difficulty level is completely overrated, and you feel really accomplished by the end of the year.
+ Methods helps heaps with many of the concepts. Don't regret not taking it. Highly recommended for all prospective yr 12 students

That is true. GMA is indeed harder than spesh.
That's only cus in GMA you are introduced to new unfamiliar concepts., and when you get to Spesh, its easier to understand vectors/complex/trig stuff.

I am now officially scared of GMA

Yeah, really looking forward to Spec! It sounds great

Spesh is cool, but uni maths is cooler

I wish I could share your enthusiasm. What does it sound like to me? WORK. ALOT OF IT.

Spesh is cool, but uni maths is cooler

Agreed. Eigenvalues, vectors... sounds like heaps of fun. In fact, pure maths is cooler.

True, none of that geometry bullcrap please...

GMA this year has been pretty fun though I have to say, much more enjoyable than methods.

I fully agree

You have good taste in mathematics
