Quick question...

I'm taking on Spesh and methods this year along with accounting + physics. i managed fairly well in Methods and Spesh in yr 1. However, i think my spesh teacher made the course way too easy. Do i stand a chance in yr12?
Cheers.

Considering GMA is probably harder than spesh for most, you wouldn't be very far behind. If you're concerned, you can always ask for harder questions/material, I'm sure your teacher would oblige you. And come here a lot, it helps.

in spesh this year we covered diff, integration, a little bit of vectors and kinematics, complex numbers and the toolbox chapter of our textbook. surely it must get much harder considering the substantial scale up

Not much more than that besides newtonian mechanics. I highly recommend you have a read of the study design, it's a good resource.

If you put in the effort to study and do practice SACs/exams you should do fine. We don't cover any kind of calculus outside of an exercise in kinematics at my school for GMA, and one of the students this year got a 50.
