JR wants to master Methods, but he has so little time...

You know me. You know my relationship with Methods. Not the best. One question, is this a realistic goal? It's not even funny how far behind I am from where I probably should be. We're learning probability, but I'm stuck on differentiation.

Another question, is it even worth trying to master Methods? In less than three months? I have to keep things in perspective. My health is infinitely more important. Exams aren't the be-all and end-all. There's always a way to get where I want to eventually be (and even then, Methods isn't a prerequisite for any courses I am interested in).

And should I bother doing all the past VCAA exams? I'm getting even more overwhelmed! Why does Methods always put me in a crappy mood?
Listens to K-Pop (Twice, Red Velvet, MAMAMOO) and Christmas music all year round.

Ask yourself if you even want to master methods first.

You'd be surprised at what you can achieve in three months, if only you have the right attitude. You can definitely turn around and do amazingly well in this subject but you must first get yourself out of this negative mindset.

This.

You need to start instead of doubting yourself constantly. While it's okay to be concerned and all, you don't want it to morph into a constant fear of failure.
