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

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!

Trying to keep that out of my mind though haha

Methods is not a difficult subject to grasp if you work hard at it and have someone good at it to guide you (perferably a friend willing to spend some time to help u and give u tips with understanding the concepts). So take a risk, and ask a friend 2 help u out.

I'm just getting started. i procrastinate a lot so i haven't done any real work done.  the other day i worked for about 7hrs straight in the library on specialist (tried to learn 4.4 - 4.8 of the essential textbook, only managed 4.4-4.7, got stuck on one question for 2hrs then realized i just had to divide it haha) so from now on, i'll be spending all my time in the library.

to math methods and specialist: never gonna give you up

It's so so so so so so ridiculously important that you don't spend tonnes of time 'studying' if you're not getting anywhere - if it doesn't make sense, you need to find someone who knows that they're doing and get help from them, I'd be seeing my teacher a lot if I were in your positon, but if you're finding that it's not useful to try and learn alone, don't try 'harder', learn from someone who knows a lot about it, whether its your teacher, a tutor or just a friend who's good at maths

If you're struggling with inverse functions then don't worry. That's as hard as it ever gets in methods. Everything after that just gets easier, especially calculus which is a piece of cake.

Not true. Everyone is different, some people are good at grasping particular concepts in methods while they struggle with others.Also take into account that some people have a bad foundation, have teachers which cannot explain very well, etc. So many factors. Some people are Math oriented than others in general, hence why they find it easy.

+1, calculus is much harder than functions imo, and looking at examiners reports, the state would agree with me on this one.

Personally I find everything reasonably simple except Trigonometry, which I simply cannot do. We all have things that work for us.
