Not to a great extent; you would mostly need the same graphing skills for the different types of functions. Then theres calculus, circular function and probability, which arguably is easier in 3/4

Is that a joke? You're saying that th subject gets easier when you to from 1/2 to 3/4?
Aspiring doctor. Why? For the same four reasons as everybody else. Chicks, money, power and chicks.

Not a joke, 3/4 prob is much easier (hence I think 3/4 methods is easier too)

3/4 probability is definitely easier than 1/2 prob, it's easier to get your head around it.

1/2 probability was way easier for me

I think for me it was more because for 1/2 prob, for combinations and permutations (and arrangements) questions with the way diferent amounts of books can be arranged different ways with restrictions of certain books cannot be next to each other, they didn't really have nice set way to approach all questions. You actually had to think about it, how to approach it, where as for 3/4 prob, it was more... well....logical for me, it had a set way of doing different types of questions. We for me anyway, for others it may be different.

I think 3/4 is easier, simply because most of it is 1/2 all over again.
