Hello all,
I'm not sure if I should do spesh or physics, I've heard that Spesh is easier than physics from the physics teacher and I've heard from others that spesh can be very easy as well. I haven't done spesh 1&2 since it's not offered at my school but I was pretty competent in both Maths Methods 1&2 (Rank 3-5) and Further Maths 3&4 (49/50). I'm aware that VCAA doesn't count three maths subjects and that is the main reason I see to not do spesh.
So:
1-What is easier to score a 48-50 SS in?
2-Since I did well in Further is it worth doing spesh?
3-Does Spesh need a huge amount of effort that can take away from my ability to do well in my other subjects (English, Methods and Chem)?
Thanks.

1. to get a raw 48-50 physics is easier but scaled it should be the same.
2. Yes it is still worth doing spec since you can score 50+ (up to 55) in the subject after scaling.
3. Not necessarily but I would think the workload is higher than most subjects. It all will really depend on how you are with maths and your foundational knowledge as well so i can't really comment on that without knowing.
