Usually TT, /0, dcc, Ahmad, kyzoo, Mao, Martoman or one of the other VN pros will always lend a hand (sorry if I forgot someone)!

Yes, but please be aware that many VN members also delete their account, usually a few days after results day, so also be prepared for that. 

Most of the names there have been here for at least a year after they've graduated.

That's why I chose them :) Added kyzoo and Martoman because they are really pro (as well)

My school is learning topics in this order:

Complex Numbers
Coordinate Geometry
Vectors
Circular Functions
Differentiation
Anti-Differentiation
Applications of Anti-Differentiation
Differential Equations
Kinematics
Vector Calculus
Dynamics

Opinions? Should I follow this order?

Try and learn some topics with the methods course (ie. Differentiation, Anti-Differentiation, Applications of Anti-Differentiation, etc.). Makes learning them a lot easier.

This is advisable. At the start of the year I was tutoring a girl in Specialist who was quite capable of doing maths, however the first time she encountered Calculus was in 3/4 Specialist. She struggled at first but eventually got the hang of it.

It's worth working ahead and doing Methods Trigonometry and Calculus first so you'll understand it better when you do it in Spesh

I've already completed methods 3/4 if that helps. I am finding the various integration techniques quite interesting but I have yet to look into them in detail.
