yeah, it's called generalist B or something? harder than methods, and a lot of people dont bother with it, but in some "prestigious" schools they offer it... =S

It's not "Specialist Maths 1&2," but there is usually some sort of pre-cursor year 11 subject intended for students who want to move onto Specialist Maths 3&4. The name varies from school to school.

Its called "Advanced General Mathematics". Schools just rename it to what they want.

My school is far from prestigious. We have it as: "General maths: specialist".

At my school, if you want to do spesh then you just do 1/2 methods and general maths in year 11.

Hey, just a quick survey.

What chapter are '08ers at with spesh?

I did Ch.1 Toolbox, Vectors and the last part of complex numbers ( solving for z^n = a and inequalities)

Hope i'm not behind the 1337 smarties.

Chapter 1 Toolbox, started vectors, started complex number. What should I do next Prav?

I'm a bit behind you apple man. But I make up for my lag in chem and biol. :P

geez, what's with all these people doing study in the holidays?! i mean, i can understand doing that at uni maybe for some uberhard courses that you know you'd fail, but still, there's really no need to cover spec subjects well in advance. if you're smart then you'll pick them up pretty quickly in class without much issue. teaching yourself the course in advance won't gain you marks...

Hmm, yeah, I guess it's going a bit overboard, but I personally think it'll help me save time during the year. It's more of a reassuring task for me. I don't know about AppleXY though, he loves his maths ;).

My school doesn't offer any variant of a 'spec 1/2' @ all.
Ha ha... so every1 basically did 2 years of spec, while I did 1 XD
That would explain a lot... :S
