On Reddit: "I would highly recommend against doing mth1030 without having done spesh in year 12 or mth1020 prior. It is not an easy unit, it’s known for being difficult as there is a big jump between mth1020/spesh to mth1030. i only did methods in year 12 so I know that a lot of the content…"
On Reddit: "if you were to put 1030 on a scale 1-10 relative to other higher math units, I'd put it as a 2 or 3. Any higher lvl units is probably a 5+. Most pure math units i'd put it at least a 7+."
