Methods Study Score

[TFAnime123]

Hi all,
I'm currently sitting on a 55-62% average for my Methods SAC but I'm ranked the lowest in my class (but not the lowest in the cohort).

I just wanted to ask if I still have a chance to pull out a 25-30 RAW as I'm not the best at Methods. In terms of dropping out, I really do not have that option as Methods is a prerequisite subject, pretty much for all the uni courses I'm applying for.

And also any tips for improvement? I seem to struggle with the textbook questions quite a bit already but I still have that grit to continue persevering.

It's definitely still possible to get a 25 to 30 study score if you try hard and improve your SAC ranking and get decent for your exam. I feel like the best way of learning how to do the basic questions is to either go through a couple of the worked examples and copy them out and try to understand the process to solving the question. Also, get a hold of the worked solutions for your textbook if you can, so that if you don't know how to solve a question, you can just consult the worked solutions. This is how I personally learn my basics. For harder application questions, I feel like just doing heaps of different types of questions is the key to improving that area. This is how I learn, but different people learn in different ways and you should find the way you best learn. I hope that helps.

Allow me to reassure you that getting a 25 to meet your prerequisites is quite simply a a decent exam result. Your SACs are weighted against your exam, how you go about getting that exam score is up to you. 60% across both exams is sufficient for a 30. You have time to improve.

Hey, in terms of advice for improvement, often making a short summary can help with understanding and remembering. Obviously doing questions is going to be important, and what the majority of your study might be, but often it can be helpful to just quickly go over your notes and write down the important points in a topic - formulas, rules etc. so that you have an overview of what the topic encompasses before starting questions. Hopefully this helps, but I wouldn't recommend spending too long on summaries, as you'll want to make sure you do enough questions too - maybe you could just allocate a page to the main things you need to know.
