Do methods, it's a pre-req for lots of uni courses so will keep options open (especially if the course you want to get in requires methods already).

I'll be completely honest, further isn't as easy as you might think. Well at least that is what I think. I see alot of people take further on the basis of it being an "easy" 45-50, and then ending up with a 40-41, which gets scaled down.

Exactly, Perfection isn't that easy, and that is what high scores in further requires.

[quoteDo further if u want to get an easy 40+ score without much work. You basically just bludge and do no work in class.

I'd say Further is more about "perfecting" your working-outs and minimizing errors

...I think every VCE maths is like that =/ Uni Maths is different at least =D

I heard Uni Maths is easier than Spesh? Any truth to this?

In psychology although it isn't maths based as such, if you want to take it to fourth year or even higher level you need to be able to use statistics. Methods actually gives you a really comprehensive grounding for this (particularly where you study probability), to the extent where uni psychology would be much easier for you. So I definitely would recommend methods.
