If you feel like you struggle to understand concepts by yourself, potentially look into getting a private tutor who can help you understand these concepts and make it easier for you to cover the course. Alternatively you could see if some of your teachers are willing to help you out 1 on 1 at lunch if you're still struggling and things like that.

I agree with Ennjy (since I'm part of the writing team ) but also you should come on here a lot, we're here to help. And it's free, more or less.

I go with this too. I did lots of practice exams (tried to print them with modest use of paper) and although my SACs were not that good (that is, in ranking being 3rd-5th), the exam made up for it. My teacher told me to focus on exams instead of SACs, though ideally you should try your best on both.

Also, as mentioned several times above, ask questions if you are struggling on something! This place is a good resource for it.
And of course, try all your best!

Study around the types of questions in Exam 2, I think most people are able to complete Exam 1 pretty easily because they only ask you direct questions (as in "differentiate this") but most of the marks for 40+ are won and lost in recognition skills (for many questions in exam 2 it isn't immediately obvious how to go about solving a question) and that's what's tested in Exam 2. Once you realise what method is required for a particular question the maths is really easy in Methods so I just recommend exposing yourself to these types of questions ASAP.

haha yeah I was actually thinking about that question when I was typing the sentence

We should call it something similar to 'Cone of Death' since it seems about as controversial
