I've been quite unwell this year and this has resulted in me sacrificing the majority of my methods time to focus on Specialist.
I thankfully find Methods quite easy due to doing Specialist maths and the majority of content we're currently learning being a repeat from last year.

However, this has led to me barely doing any work AT ALL for methods, I usually zone out in class due to fatigue or just not being able to focus and I've done only ~10% of homework. I have a huge SAC (I think it goes for 4 periods) in around 2 weeks which makes up the majority of Unit 3.

I want to do quite well in this as I am only doing 4 subjects in total and aiming to to get an ATAR above 80.

What would be the most effective use of my time to be able to cover such a large amount of content in such a short period of time? Would it be doing VCAA questions of all the topics? I was originally planning on skimming through all the exercises and doing hard questions but I don't think I can realistically do this in such a short time frame.

Maybe make a bound reference/summaries for it? With worked examples too maybe. I suggest write summaries, but I'm no expert.

Kinda late, but the best way to study for methods is just grinding through questions, particularly longer application questions.

I do not recommend writing summaries and notes because that would only help you know the basics (unless you have a REALLY shaky foundation, which I assume you don’t since you said you find methods relatively easy and you also do specialist).
