Further or Specialist
Odette.:
Specialist, Further is just too competitive and boring -wishes I did specialist-. If you're up for a challenge, then go for specialist (although whilst completing specialist maths related topics at ACU, I found it rather easy) plus, you wont have to try as hard, as it scales up a lot more, whereas in Further you basically can make NO mistakes, and those silly little mistakes, make your score suffer tremendously. Good luck, hope that helps. ^_^
vce01:
a lot of people at my school are starting to wish they did further instead of spesh, at this time of the year.
and if you put in half the amount of time you would with spesh for further, its not inconceivable to pretty much rip your exams and get a very high SS. you get to use the calculator and a bound reference for both exams, whilst one of them is completely multiple choice - the only thing you have to really look out for are stupid mistakes. with practice you would be fine.
although i do agree it's incredibly boring.

u gotta take alot into account.
not only is further really competative coz alot of people who dont do methods do it...
spesh does take time... and yeah it has the scaling factor... BUT.... if u dont do so great..... then it COULD just bite u up the arse...
u gotta enjoy maths to do spesh and i reckon its a gift to be able to do spesh.... not everyone can do it with a click of a finger. people say anyone could do it coz its a bunch of formulars.... but in order to get the questions right u gotta interpret right.
i chose it coz it was a challenge. and yes it can be hard at times (from my point of view) but i appreciate spesh and i do enjoy it quite a fair bit.. next to legal studies its my fav sub!... actually i enjoy all my subs besides methods O.o....
in the end its up to u and how much ur willing to put up with it :)
but 95 in methods.... dude go for it!
all the best

thanks, all the best with spesh
lacoste:
just wondering, can you do all three maths (methods,further, spesh) or does vcaa not allow it?
will it count towards your ENTER? or will one of the maths be counted as not applicable or as a compulsory 7th subject?
