Questions about methods/spesh

I know two people who got 42 in Methods and decided to repeat it. One got 41 the following year and the other 48. (both these people ended up with the same atar!) Once you are well in the 40s, luck plays a huge factor in determining your study score. Also, Methods can get  pretty tiring after studying it for the long time

Did the person who got 42 and than 41 the next year have to keep the 41?

Your study score can’t go down, so if you do worse in a subject when you repeat it, you still maintain your old score.

I'm pretty sure that someone in my class will be re-doing Methods 3/4 after being the only one to do it last year, and I kinda hope she does, as some competition would be nice. In a class of 10, I'm averaging around 90% on SACs, while the class average is only just over 55% without me! The highest mark anyone else has managed is 66%, so I don't have any competition, and I don't seem to have any drive to score as high as possible, since no one else is outscoring me! For her at the moment, her decision is to redo methods 3/4 or do spesh 3/4, since she did both the 1/2s in Year 10, but I still don't know which she'll do, but either way, I'll get some much needed competition
