does anyone wish

Actually, its not really common. We occasionally get 1 each year. My year had none for example.

Yeah but methods 3/4 in year 10 could pay dividends, imagine rocking into year 11 on a 45+ in what's considered a pretty difficult subject. Would do wonders for self esteem.

Why is methods a difficult subject compared to the other 50 VCE subjects?

[JL_91]

Methods is not 'difficult' given you put in the work, really. It's nothing compared to Spesh! However, it is difficult to get a high score in, because of the level of competition there is.

because of the strength of the competition

I just don't see why people go 'oh maths is hard' when from my point of view, 45 in methods is 100 times easier than 45 in any humanities subject.

I don't get how level of competition is a factor when you consider just the coursework for the subjects and an individuals strengths/weaknesses. So I don't see how methods is any harder.
I can only see further < methods < spec due to how maths subjects are constructed, but thinking they're somehow better than non maths subjects, I don't get that.

[brendan]

it is a factor, it's a reason why it is scaled higher than other subjects, it's because in general the strength of the competition in maths is much higher.

I just don't see how you could find maths easy when from my point of view, 45 in English is 100 times easier than 45 in any maths subject.
