anybody else given up on methods 3-4 yet? or having lots of difficulties

[molllz]

Up to inverse functions and struggling already. Dont know how i will manage the rest of the course??

Any advice on how to still get 30?

[1ne]

Yes. I am. I'm struggling badly with trig.

Don't give up! You must and can improve ur scores. But if you're close to giving up, study hard enough to get above 25. Seriously, u don't get above 25, potentially u close urself off from doing commerce / science / eng. courses at Go8 universities.

Persist

The bulk of 3/4 methods is identical to 1/2 methods, so things will get more comfortable If you really think you're struggling, I'd go for a private tutor and/or purchase study guides such as the A+ notes. Also download the notes here on ATAR Notes, as there are some pretty neat summaries that have the concepts really simplified If you have any specific problems, post them up on the forum and someone will help

Good luck!

Thanks for the advice. I just don't have the money to afford a private tutor or buy the A+ notes book.

You can find a copy of the older edition for $10, or the new one for $25!

See your teacher for assistance, that's what they're there for. Go sacrifice a few lunch times, it will pay off.

Have a SAC soon for this... they full told us that if we do bad its not the end of the world. Probably preparing us for the worst day of our lives...

Haha, even failing VCE isn't the end of the world!

Unless you have Asian parents.

I was in your situation last year. Trust me, giving up isn't the right idea. You need to either keep trying really hard, keep asking questions in class until you grasp the concepts. I gave up on the mid half of the course and regretted it. It took me to the end of the year to realise that I could do it, it just didn't come as easily as it does for others. Your other option is to see if you can try and drop it for further. Hopefully your teachers let you and help you catch up, if you chose that path.

Not a good mindset to have though for someone doing VCE.

The highest of VCE achievers are mostly never satisfied perfectionists and must fear failing.

[1ne]

Yes. But it does provide reassurance that there are other pathways present, if your goal isn't achieved.

Exactly this.

It may not work for everyone, but knowing that VCE isn't the be-all-and-end-all can be quite calming (it was for me). May no work for the perfectionists, but you can't please everyone

Don't give up mate. Accept the fact that you only have a few more months of methods left, use these remaining months to give your best shot at achieving the best study score possible.
