Over the couple days, i'm not sure how I feel about chemistry.
I want to move to methods but not too sure if i should. I love maths apart from worded questions and extended response, but I just really suck at it. ( in yr 10 I got b's and c's) so, maybe if I got a tutor, it might help
In terms of chem, I like it 50% of the time but I know it'll get difficult. In year 10 I got c's and d's, so I'm not sure if I should stay.
Also, I'm not sure what I want to do in uni so yeahh, should I move or stay?

Methods 3/4 is much harder than anything in year 10. If you don't like worded questions I wouldn't do methods.
Are you doing further? If not maybe do that instead of these two subjects.

hey, i'm gonna assume that you're in year 11 this year!
Both Methods does consist of challenging worded questions and extended response. But I do think that if you start practicing on them now, you will be able to tackle them, especially with the help of a tutor. I would really highly recommended going on uni sites and figuring out a general idea of what you want to do (commerce/ science/ art?). By doing that, you can tell if you need a pre-requisite for your course. If you're like me and still have no idea (lol), i have chosen to do methods so i have a wider option of uni courses.
Chemistry, like you said, also gets harder but you should have a look at the study design. Some people prefer unit 3/4 over 1/2.

Ops, sorry forgot to mention that I'm in yr 11. Yup, I'm doing further this year
-
Yea, I wanted to do methods because of the wider options. But if your not doing method and your course requires method, then is there any possible way to do that course?

Nope pre reqs have to be met. Or they'll force you to average 65% in a uni melb maths course as an equivalent to methods.

If I were you, I would do methods. It's just that it's a pre-req for most courses so not doing it will seriously limit your opportunities.
-
What happens if you just do 1/2 not 3/4?

Nothing.
Like, just straight up, nothing. Nobody will care that you've done it, except some education courses used to only require units 1/2 of maths - but if you're already doing further, those same courses also accepted further, so it won't do you much good.

You need to get a minimum raw study score depending on the course for it to be counted as a pre req that means that it must be methods 3/4
