Further is very easy to learn.  You can coast through most of the year, and you just have to make sure you nail the exams.  As others have said, the concepts are very easy to grasp, but it is your ability to be super accurate and eradicate careless reading errors and calculations that really matters.  If you have gone through maths in the past and have on many occasions gotten full marks/very close to full marks, then I would say Further is for you, otherwise if you're looking for a 40+ SS, it may be wiser to do specialist, particularly if you are looking at doing an engineering course in Uni.

If you've gotten full marks/very close to full marks in past maths tests, then shouldn't that mean you should do Specialist because it indicates you're good at Maths? Especially if the maths tests weren't easy.

Yeah I would say that too.

In the end: if you are good at maths you should do spesh. Who'd have thunk it

I'm doing it because it is a joke of a subject - already done the course we need to do this year. The only place I see losing marks is in the geometry module, that is just mistakes waiting to happen.
2009: Math methods: 50, Psychology: 44
2010: chem 47, further 48, Spesh 49 fml seriously and other yr 11 subs.
2011: Holidaying, screw school.
No. Not azn.

I'm terrible at math, but i want to do teaching so i figured i might as well continue it....then i realized that only 1/2 math is prerequisite (just as a pass, thank god because i did terrible last year)
I'm figuring it's gonna be my 6th subject. Definitely not my strong point.
