Struggling in Methods 1&2

Hey all, I'm doing Math Methods this year and I'm doing well with class work, but when i had my SAC last friday, i feel like i didn't do too well and i left a few questions as i was unable to do them. Can anyone give me any tips or any resources i could use to improve my skills and prepare myself better for upcoming SACS?
Thanks :)

If it's a lack of understanding, try Khan Academy on youtube. He creates videos on a lot of maths/science topics and is renowned for his great ability to communicate content clearly.

Otherwise, post the questions you are having trouble with?

If you're too focused on completing homework tasks just to keep up with the class and not actually taking time to understand every question, it would definitely reflect in your results.  I suggest doing questions from another methods textbook, it might seem like a waste of time (I mean, homework from your class textbook is demanding enough) but the more questions you do, the more broader your understanding will be. Also just like Callum@1373 suggested, Khan Academy is pretty cool, definitely worth checking out.

Just a last bit of advice, it won't hurt to just take roughly a 30 second break after you complete a question, to just think about what you just did and the steps that led you to your answer BEFORE checking if its correct or not.
