Is it possible for me to still get a 25? I've given up all hope on this god forsaken subject and I'm relying heavily on the notes given by vcaa plus my own.. what do I need for that? Friggen nervous, probably going to fail badly

playsimme,
if you can afford for methods to be in your bottom 2, then dont worry about it, sont bother putting any effort and just try your best for the other subjects, if it's going to be in your bottome 2 its not worth the effort....

JustMe,
It's incredibly possible, after you do about 10 exams you barely improve (thats what i found maths)... so if you just do 6 or so (which wont take very long), then youre all good :)

@abes22: While getting the 25 ss for methods may not assist his ATAR score much, a 25 in methods is a prerequisite for many university courses.

@playsimme: a good way to study for methods at this point is to get the 5 VCAA papers from the website and do them on repeat as many times that your schedule allows. Make sure you have an idea of what you're meant to do for most of the questions and all. If you need detailed solutions for the papers (the ones on VCAA are crap), you can find them here on iTute http://www.itute.com/download-free-vce-maths-resources/free-maths-exams/

Best of luck, I'm sure you can do it!
