Things to study before doing Spesh next year?

I've decided to do Spesh next year but I'm not quite sure as to what I should study before doing it...

I completed AGM last year and scored decent marks. I'd really appreciate it if someone could provide me with a brief outline as to what I need to know before doing the subject. Also, I'm currently studying Methods 1&2 this year.

Thanks! :)

Well for me, the only topics I found useful from GMA was vectors, complex numbers, partial fractions/coordinate geometry. I suggest brushing up ur skills in those topics? In our school, we started this year with complex numbers and vectors so you might want to do extra in those topics. :)

Read through the study design, see what words you know and don't know. Make sure you understand the words you do know thoroughly.

Might be a little late on this one, but I recommend: (doing these at Year 11 at school, and should be achievable to get ahead next year)--
Complex Numbers
Vectors
Loci
Kinematics
Dynamics

Get a Y12 textbook and get them downpat. You'll do really well next year if you start in the Summer hols.

Thanks heaps bonkbadonk! I'll definitely take that into consideration!
