Specialist Mathematics and Maths methods

[nayano10]

I am in year 10 and I already understand both integral and differential calculus on the specialist maths level. I know this because I have seen the syllabus. However, because I am self-taught, I am certain there are topics I've overlooked and not to mention that I studied the American curriculum. Quite frankly, I don't find these topics that difficult, though things could always change. Given that I comprehend such complex topics at only 15 where I am supposed to do so at 17, is a raw 50 in both specialist and methods an actual attainable goal form me? I don't consider myself smart at all, though I love maths with a passion, and I will do anything necessary to achieve this goal only if it's attainable. What do you think?

It is definitely attainable but the difference beteeen a 50 and a high
40 is nothing more than luck on exam day. You can try increasing your chances by minimising any careless mistakes you make.

Unfortunately for me that is where I have most difficulty, not making careless mistakes. Perhaps I might learn from them but I am happy you believe I can achieve this, thank you for commenting.
