those who finished methods in yr 11 and scored above 40 have a higher tendency to get 40+ for spesh in year 12
this a trend that is repeated in pretty much every school that allows you to take methods in yr 11. but i think it's probs more.....43+ in methods in yr 11 should get you 40+ in spech in yr 12
legal is been better dude, i did 3/4 legal in year 9, got a 32, scaled to 47!
Gosh, 47 for legal in year 9! :O 
(On a sadder note, what a pity your effort's pretty much wasted)
Back in my Year 9 days, I was learning how to complete the square for quadratics 
There are people in my year who still don't know how to do this. *sighs*
I don't learn anything in class. We seriously do nothing...
We spent 3.5 hours drawing modulus graphs the other week. 3.5 f**king hours!
It is not that hard:
|f(x)| means draw graph normal and reflect in x-axis
f(|x|)means draw graph normal and reflect in y-axis, once your graph touches it from the right.
Apply graph sketching rules for translations and/or reflections.
To find the hybrid function, just negative the function or the x's, and use the axes intercepts to find the domains. A year 9 could do it.
I get so frustrated at times regarding the amount of time we waste on nothing...
