Methods and Physics overlap in Spesh

[Einstein]

Hey Guys, I'm planning on doing Spesh in 2015, after dropping Physics. Our school doesn't offer GMA as well.

How much of the specialist course goes over Methods and Physics? if i did spesh simultaneously with methods and physics will it benefit me in all 3 subjects?

If i drop physics in 2015 ill have 4 subjects - eng, methods, chem, spesh after already doing 2 this year. Or should i also pick physics (asian 5 now) so it can help me?

Bit of a dilemma here, any help would be great.
Thanks:)

having done physics may help a liiitle bit, but it'd definitely not necessary. i know plenty of people who beasted spesh without having done physics
methods and spesh overlap exists, but isn't huge. However, because you're doing more math in general, you become more efficient with it.

[Professor Polonsky]

Doing Methods concurrently with Spesh won't help you at all with Spesh, but will probably help you with Methods. Doing Methods before Spesh will help you heaps with the latter.

Doing Spesh concurrently with Physics will help you slightly with both, maybe more so with the former.

There is no relation between Methods and Physics.

Do you recommend me to learn contents of GMA?

should i be fine with just methods, the highest score in our cohort last year was 38-39 raw, so thats quite good (our school doesn't offer GMA)

You don't need GMA to do well in Spesh, GMA is waste of time . If I were you, I would get the Spesh textbook and learn the content straight from it since all GMA contents are pretty much recalled again in the first exercise of every chapter.
Hope this helps.

I did GMA, 1/2 spec or whatever you like to call it last year and am now doing 3/4 spec, honestly there are some basics which you learn in gma which you carry over to 3/4 but not having done gma won't effect you a whole deal. Everything done is covered in the first chapter, however well at least at our school, we only spent 1 period going over the whole chapter though so basically its up to you to teach yourself that material as they expect you to know it. As for overlapping, spec will help with methods and in saying that, methods will also reenforce some concepts learnt in spec. Motion/kinematics and maybe a few triangles is about all that crosses over from physics
