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..

I thought about doing it because of my result. But it's just stupid, I decided that it was much better to take a different subject and actually learn as opposed to chasing a higher score in something I'd already done.. So I picked up Lit. Very good decision I think. Sure I may have been able to get a higher Methods score and get it into my top four if I had repeated.. But in the end that matters quite little.

You need to decide for yourself though. Perhaps you'll see significant benefit in repeating. Maybe it'll help you get into your course, or get a scholarship or whatever..

Honestly, i think you would be better off picking another subject.

Its not the end of the world if you stuff methods up.

EDIT: Yeah m@tty has summed it up well.

But you could've got an extra 0.8 on your aggregate, assuming you don't get higher scaled scores in all of Chem, Phys and Spec.. Wait. Considering that you could've increased your aggregate by 0.08. Nah, not worth it.

You totally could've repeated and smashed this years ;D

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.
