Maths in 1st year Commerce

Is it hard? I'm presuming there will be maths if there is a Methods prerequisite. I sucked at Methods in VCE, and I also hated it with a passion. Will I die in Commerce? (maybe I should've asked earlier lol).

Yeah should be fine, only some commerce subjects has it though, like microeconomics, macroeconomics, some stuff like business law has no relation to maths.

In one methods test our class had 3 people who scored 1/30. Selective school, but the results probably would have been below average anywhere.

as for 1/30 in a test, how do u know it wasnt just some random freak test that almost no other school would bother with anyway?
