I will if i get <40 and if my school allows...
I thought about doing that, but in the long run, I don't see the point.. if I do well enough on my other subjects, Methods may well not even be in my 6 subjects counted..

Yeah but I guess you kind of have Chinese to fall back on and judging from your estimations you sound like you're gonna do well in it as well :)

Stupid school didn't let me do both Chinese and methods.

Well, that's what I'm aiming for, just have to do really well on the written exam next week :)

What, why? That's really stupid :P What school do you go to? :)

Haha goodluck for the exam.

I got to Glen Waverley and they have pretty tough rules about this sort of stuff and only allow 1 3/4 subject in year 11 etc.

Thanks :)
Ooh okay. That's normal for most schools.. At my school you're only allowed one 3/4 in Year 11, but the only exception to that is if you're doing Methods, in which case you can do two 3/4s. :)
I'm just. Weird >.<

Yup I know a girl who got 39 last year and she is redoing it this year, apparently she found the exam really good (we'll see on results day how much her score improved :D). Sometimes it's because one's mathematical maturity is not at a certain level in year 11, so when you hit year 12 you might gain deeper mathematical understanding.

Yup. I also reckon that I panicked a lot i the exams since they were quite different to the usual exams this year.

I honestly think I would die of boredom if I had to sit through another year of Methods. My brain would simply shut down.

"Intronaut, can you give me the derivative of this, please?"

Couldn't agree more. If anything you will come out of Year 12 more experienced.

I did Methods last year for a 38, reckon I could've done better and I did.


Best decision ever, people have guesstimated a 43-44+ this time around :D :D


EDIT: For those saying its a waste of time; I did my specialist work all the way through and just started doing exams REAL early. Like 2-3 months before the school finished the course and it really helped me.
