Imho futher. According to my methods teacher (last year) markers are most strict on further and lest strict on spesh, methods some in between. So people wanting to do good always try hard or something on further

plus i think most of us have heard stories about 1 mark being the difference between a 50 and a 49 in further...

It doesn't really matter.

And anyway, it chops and changes. I know someone who got full marks on both spesh exams and didn't get a 50.

How can they mark further tougher when half of the exam is MC?
Anyway, with competitiveness, further is VERY competitive in the high 40s since it is relatively easy to master compare to other subjects. The difficult come done in perfecting which in my opinion comes down to a bit of luck on the exam
