Thank you - would you say methods is enjoyable and can be manageable with other content-heavy subjects?

I would say I enjoy it 85% of the time when I am not completely stuck with some weird application question haha. I definitely think it is a great VCE subject and is one of my favourites :). I don't do the most "content-heavy" subjects (chem, eng lang, french are my current 1/2s) however I don't think methods is too content heavy as at least 1/3 of the content is a repeat from year 11 and the rest just an extension besides the probability and statistics unit :). Lots of people manage very "content-heavy" subjects (bio, psych, chem, legal) along w methods fine and sometimes the straightforwardness of maths (one answer) makes it a nice break from content heavy subjects.

Hope that helped!

Thank you so much! I definitely feel like I will give it a go now because I know if I don't like it, I can always drop it. Thanks for the help :) :)

Doing both Methods and Revolutions (both content-heavy subjects). I'd say it is both enjoyable (if you work hard enough to understand the content) and manageable. At the start of the year, I couldn't do any Methods homework because I was recovering from spinal surgery. Despite the teacher telling me that I wouldn't be able to even pass if I was only working in class, I still managed to learn the content enough that I could easily pick up the slack later on. And I've been enjoying it, mostly.

That's amazing! I hope your feeling better too. Are there any tips and tricks you used? I have chosen other subjects that many people describe as content-heavy such as legal, business management, psychology and bio and because of this, I'm not sure how I would handle all of this. Is there any in particular advice seeing you have managed to do well in the end?
