Title: Should I attempt Spesh?
Post by: tankia on November 03, 2007, 01:20:28 pm
Well, I'm doing methods 3/4 this year and not doing to well tbh.

I'm also doing general specialist this year and for sem1 i was all good like, 100% on all my sacs. But sem2, all this physics and a new gay teacher? I don't know if i can handle going onto next year. I'm also pretty sure it's MUCH harder than meth, so I'm literally screwed.  But I either need to do this, or find a subject to fill in it's place. >_>;

Any suggestions?

i suggest that u do it, u might get a good teacher next year.
and specialist gives good study score.

i reckon its easier than physics

and it depence what subject are u going to choose to fill its place?

But it doesn't scale up much...And why would i do further when i do methods? Isn't that like, defeating the purpose of methods? >_>:

Specialist is going to be easier to get a high raw in, than Japanese, unless you think you will really enjoy it. Once the SACs for Japanese start kicking in, you could lose your passion quickly, and it will become too hard to cope with.

Maths is easier, because you can pick it up at anytime and it is a 100% logical subject.

Do spesh.

If you don't get it straight away you'll learn it down the line. It isn't completely unapproachable. Also, it scales pretty damn well so there's really nothing to lose.

e^(ix) = cos(x) + isin(x)

Back to Specialist, kids. (Heh, you guys don't even do this, it's just the less amateur way of writing cis(x), since it is actually expressed as an explicit elementary function)

Hey coblin, I think I suck at kinematics.

I need my test back to see where I went wrong though (haven't been to school for 2 days). :(

Don't worry, if you assume that everyone only loses "x" amount of marks in their lifetime, you'd rather lose all these marks early on than later on.

ROFL  :lol:

High achiever. You better do good in Methods. I need to brag that at least one of my students got 50.

Haha.

aka is red the noun, akai is red the adjective.

'his eyes glowed a fearsome red' = noun = aka

'the curtain was red' = adjective = akai
