Further or Spec?

(1/3) > >>

VeryCrazyEdu.:
Ok so it's basically just the subject title. I have to choose between further or spec next year and really don't know what to do.

I did methods this year and averaged around 94% for SACs (the cohort average was around 78% i think?) Im also hoping for above 40 raw overall.

I have done general a this year and found it ok but i haven't really put much work into it.... (i think i'm averaging an a but our teacher made our mid year pretty easy on purpose..also she isn't very good :S )

The other subjects I'm doing are: english, accounting, chem. and hopefully uni chem. and i really want to do well overall in vce....over 99 preferably.

So really i am just wondering what you guys think i should do? Further or Spec?

btw i would be willing to put in a lot of effort into both..to understand spec or to make sure no silly mistakes are made is further.. it just happens that 'a lot of work' in further is still less than spec..

Thanks :)

Personally, id be taking the further option.
I also got myself into thinking that ill work really hard in both spec and methods, as well as doing english, chem and psych.
While you've already done methods, you have to realise that chem (and especially uni chem if you get in) will take up so much of your time.
The conclusion i got to was that even though spec gets scaled so well, and ill put so much work into it, its bound to bring down my other subjects as well. I ended up changing from spec to pe, and i couldn't be happier i made the change

VeryCrazyEdu.:
bump  :)

i wouldn't bump it so early but i have to decide by monday  :-\

VeryCrazyEdu.:
oh and thanks! i'm just still not sure..i guess im just scared of silly mistakes..

ReVeL:
If you enjoy maths and are good at it, do spesh. Yes, the workload will be intense but further is not exactly stimulating if you're into maths. In my opinion, anyone who gets 40+ in methods definately has the ability to do fairly well in spesh.
