Post by: kenhung123 on November 09, 2009, 10:40:36 pm: Yea but some people say GMA doesn't have much relation to 3/4 spesh. So its not really an indication of your capability. (Its sooooo much harder)

Post by: ed_saifa on November 09, 2009, 10:41:42 pm: The content of GMA is largely determined by your school. Some schools may learn a good chuck of the spesh course while others might not.

Post by: hyperblade01 on November 10, 2009, 12:27:34 am: Like ed said, it depends on the school

At mine, GMA really helped with moving into 3/4 at the start of the year as some of the topics had already been covered by my teacher

If you did any of these topics it should help you with 3/4:

- Vectors
- Complex Numbers
- Kinematics
- Statics, forces
- Trigonometry

The only thing my teacher really left out was all the calculus such as chain,product,quotient rule, anti-diffing techniques, differential equations

Title: Re: GMA=3/4 spesh?
Post by: hyperblade01 on November 10, 2009, 12:33:36 am: Assuming that the other topics you do would also be 90% average or so, 40+

EDIT: Is that what you're getting now?
Title: Re: GMA=3/4 spesh?
Post by: kenhung123 on November 10, 2009, 07:39:39 am: Yea pretty much 40+? Really? It doesn't seem too too hard I mean just a little study and it seems manageable. Maybe just the tests are easy?

Dude that's one of the more 'out-there' study score predictions ever :)

Give spesh a good go in the holidays. The more you get covered in the holidays the more you'll be prepared to target any areas of weakness. Study diligently and you will get a good study score.

GMA is General Maths (Advanced), which, as Dav132 said:

GMA=1/2 Spesh

BTW, where do you make the diagrams that show your subject results and ENTER? ???

Post by: Hooligan on November 10, 2009, 06:46:07 pm: The similarity of GMA & Spesh 3/4, is discussed here.
Title: Re: GMA=3/4 spesh?
Post by: Over9000 on November 10, 2009, 08:05:12 pm: GMA was pretty helpful at my school.
Although I didnt find it 1/10th as interesting as spesh this year even though it was kinda similar stuff. Spesh is just too pr0
Title: Re: GMA=3/4 spesh?
Post by: darkphoenix on November 18, 2009, 11:16:10 am: Yeah our teacher for GMA this year was boring, hence we basically had to do our own studying.

Post by: Gloamglozer on November 18, 2009, 12:02:33 pm: I know one school that makes GMA the pathway into Further Maths and GMB the pathway into Spesh. Strange if you ask me.
