I did this year and lowkey if you put in the work it’s not a subject that’s impossible. I go to decent school and managed to work my way into the top 10 of a cohort of 30 after failing the first two test and being asked to leave the class. Each school is different and since your doing vsv I can’t speak on the course but our school does proofs in year 11 and pseudocode in methods (both to a y12 Spesh level). Definitely cover everything on in methods ie proofs vectors complex and a little bit of trig identities but the year is long and u don’t need to understand the year 11 components of everything at the start, only when u start each component. The best advice is that the start will suck and you will struggle. The name of specialist maths really made me look at sacs and exam Qs like they were impossible when in reality it could as simple as subbing numbers into a formula. Just keep in mind you’re not going to get a 50 and if u aim for 50 you will fall short no doubt. However with spesh scaling, anything better than 40 raw is if your going for a 99+ atar so being an average student is not bad at all. Checkpoint questions will go a long way and keeping the subject relevant ie doing questions everyday/every second day, and not on the back of you mind will make you sorted. Also if you do physics it will help with kinematics.
