Trig, Circular Functions, Differentiation and Transformations are HUGE parts of Methods. There's also matrices as well as small things not taught in methods which are actually very beneficial. Things like the trig formulas, addition rules etc were extremely useful for solving questions like the pyramid question in Exam 2 last year.
See that depends on what school you go to, because I sure as hell didn't do any of that in the unit 1 GMA that I completed. I went to the same school as ATAR and, assuming they stick with the same course outlines, there won't be any significant overlap.

+1. All that you listed (except trig) is Unit 2 GMA (and Matrices isn't taught at all).

Okay well that's fair enough. We just used the Essential textbook for GMA and that's what we covered in unit 1 (minus the differentiation because we had learnt enough of that in methods 3/4). But anyways...Streaker is your best relation then since he comes from the same school.

Once again, thank you everyone for your contributions.

It seems like I'm going to pursue Further Mathematics Units 1/2
