Grades for specialist math 3/4

[will.forrest]

I am currently studying spec 1/2 and I worried about whether or not I will be able to do well in the subject next year. How much harder is 3/4 and what grades were you getting in 1/2 vs 3/4.

I haven't done terribly but i could improve. These are the topic we have done and my grades:
Number Systems - 50%
Series and Sequences - 66%
Graph Theory - 97%
Geometry and Proofs - 56%
Statistics - 76%
Non-linear Graphs - 38%
Vectors - 80%

I am currently set to do spec next year but have considered doing further instead. I also plan to study civil engineering if that makes a difference.

3/4 is much more calculus based so we can't really tell how you'll go based on your 1/2 scores. Also, the most applicable 1/2 topics to 3/4 would be vectors, complex numbers, mechanics etc. which I don't see you've done yet. By the way since when did 1/2 have graph theory?

Oh, @undefined, the textbook I currently use has graph theory as well, but is rather like an extension to spesh 1/2. In case anyone may be wondering, the textbook I currently use is Cambridge.

Hard to say, because it depends on the difficulty of your assessments, but scores of 38% on non-linear graphs (I'm assuming this covered parametrics, ellipses, hyperbolae) and 50% on number systems (was this surds, rational numbers, prime numbers??) are a bit concerning. These topics cover fundamental skills for later mathematics, so unless these assessments were unusually difficult, you'll have a lot of work to do getting up to scratch for Units 3 & 4.

It's one of the optional modules in the study design. Most schools don't choose it because it isn't directly relevant to Units 3 & 4.
