Will it be exhausting to do all 3 maths (Further maths, Math methods, Spesh Math) in one year? What will the workload be like?

Yes, it will be extremely hard.
For context, my school (select entry high school) doesn't even let students do three in one year because it would be too much work + it limits your scope a lot.

The Cat In The Hat:
Since I'm only doing Methods I can't answer, but isn't it true that you can only have two maths' count in your top four? So therefore, is there actually a point in doing all three? I mean, I wouldn't expect them to be all prereqs for something. Although I don't know.

Depends really. If you don't like maths it is likely to be quite exhausting but if you enjoy it it would be easier to get through imo.

It may be difficult since given the same area of study if you don't want to study maths for whatever reason on a particular day you would have less other options to turn to.

In my opinion, yes. I would say that I am someone who really enjoys maths and 2 maths subjects in one year (methods 3/4 and further 3/4 in year 11) is a LOT. Sometimes I just get so sick of numbers that I go and do another subject. Not to forget, only 2 can count to your top 4 meaning if you theoretically get a 50 in all, one of them would only contribute 5 points to your aggregate.

In my opinion, I would definitely undertake methods, as it is a good foundation and fulfils many pre-reqs. Between further and spesh, it depends on what "type" of maths you are interested in. Spesh is a more challenging, complex extension of methods while further is more practical. You could always do spesh 1/2 and drop it for further 3/4, but not as easily the other way round.
