Has your school allowed you to do Spesh without Methods?

I think taigastyle's trolling. You have to be an exceptional being to do Spec without Methods (Thor Taylor) because it is in the VCAA rules you can't.

Entry
Enrolment in Specialist Mathematics Units 3 and 4 assumes a current enrolment in, or previous completion of, Mathematical Methods Units 3 and 4 or Mathematical Methods Computer Algebra System (CAS) Units 3 and 4.
Lol gg

Yeah, haha nice ;D

Doesn't that just mean that the spesh course is designed so that Methods is presumed knowledge?

I haven't heard of anyone, besides Thor Taylor, who did Spesh without Methods. Though it is only a (strong) recommendation to complete Methods for Spesh. There is a lot of assumed knowledge, that is why they "assume" Methods completion.

I don't know. He did it in year 9, then Methods in year 10 :idiot2:

He then went on to help write a Spesh textbook or something in year 12.

I can't believe he didn't get a 50 for anything lol >.<.

My Methods teacher last year said that he wasn't a natural-born genius though, and that he was "trained by his parents from a young age."

who cares if he didn't get a 50, vce doesn't mean much, even if he was trained, he is still a genius to be able to do what he has done.

Does anyone know how he did in Specialist?
He probably knew the course, just made a few careless mistakes which negated his chances of getting a 50, which, at 13, is perfectly fair for him.
