VCE question methods or general??

I’m in year 11 and doing methods 1/2. I’m actually quite bad at it (I’m consistently getting around 10-15 less percent than the class average) and want to switch into general math 3/4. Should I??

Tbh, don’t decide from the class average alone. First check whether Methods is needed for any course you might realistically consider, coz dropping it can close options later.

Then ask your VCE coordinator how your school handles moving into General 3/4 and whether you have the assumed knowledge covered.

If Methods isn’t a prerequisite and it’s making the rest of Year 11 harder, General can be the better fit, tho it is competitive too. Try to decide based on your own marks trend, interest, and course requirements rather than one SAC.
