Preparing for Methods...

Hi all!
What is everyone doing during the holidays to prepare for methods?
And, what do students who have finished methods recommend to do to prepare yourself for methods?

Thanks in advance :D

Our School sets the Linear equations stuff as holiday HW, but i reckon it'd be better to (if you are able to) familiarise yourself with the new things you learn

Alright, thanks.
My school didn't set anything, so I have no idea what to do :|

Do as much graphs and calculus as possible.  All of it would be ideal. :)

Probability can wait.  You can learn it all in like a week.

Just have a look over the whole book. No need to do a whole lot of questions from all over the book (But you can if you want to... It would be a good thing if you can just do the basic application questions). But more so you have an idea of where the course is going ad what are the types of things you'll cover over the year.

If you are question-oriented, then probably do the first couple of chapters.

Read over it, and pin point your areas of difficulty, maybe some year 11 revision on the first few chapters would help too (types of graphs, factorising/algebraic manipulation --> this one gets a lot more people than you think!)
I'll probably try going over as much as I can
