Yea but some people say GMA doesn't have much relation to 3/4 spesh. So its not really an indication of your capability. (Its sooooo much harder)

The content of GMA is largely determined by your school. Some schools may learn a good chuck of the spesh course while others might not.

Like ed said, it depends on the school

At mine, GMA really helped with moving into 3/4 at the start of the year as some of the topics had already been covered by my teacher

If you did any of these topics it should help you with 3/4:

- Vectors
- Complex Numbers
- Kinematics
- Statics, forces
- Trigonometry


The only thing my teacher really left out was all the calculus such as chain,product,quotient rule, anti-diffing techniques, differential equations

If you do those topics and get 90% average, what am I looking at for SS?

Assuming that the other topics you do would also be 90% average or so, 40+


EDIT: Is that what you're getting now?

Yea pretty much 40+? Really? It doesn't seem too too hard I mean just a little study and it seems manageable. Maybe just the tests are easy?

Dude that's one of the more 'out-there' study score predictions ever :)

Give spesh a good go in the holidays. The more you get covered in the holidays the more you'll be prepared to target any areas of weakness. Study diligently and you will get a good study score.

GMA is General Maths (Advanced), which, as Dav132 said:

BTW, where do you make the diagrams that show your subject results and ENTER? ???

GMA was pretty helpful at my school.
Although I didnt find it 1/10th as interesting as spesh this year even though it was kinda similar stuff. Spesh is just too pr0

Yeah our teacher for GMA this year was boring, hence we basically had to do our own studying.
