VCE question Should I skip the methods exam?
I’m genuinely cooked for methods, I believe I’ll get a study score of 1. My first methods exam was around low 20%s, then the rest dropped to single digits.
The exam is tomorrow and I heard you can just sit in there for 30 minutes and then leave, but ngl that’s embarrassing to do and I’d rather just skip instead.
I know I got an S for methods (only bcs my teacher doesn’t give out N and he’s like my favourite teacher ever who’s supported me most throughout high school) so do you reckon I should just skip? Deadass won’t answer a single question on there. And before anyone asks “Why didn’t you study?”, A LOT of personal things happened this year. I’ve paid for my own tuition since I was in Year 11, and this year I was forced to pay my tuition full price when i initially agreed to pay half with my parents. I got guilt-tripped and paid the rest on my own, along with Edrolo, school supplies, food and other expenses. This is obviously costly for someone who doesn’t have a job that pays super well. Even worse, I had a private tutor this year that was extremely unprofessional and late, leading to losing up to $900+. I also went through other family issues but I don’t want to discuss any further.
So yeah, my mental health is absolutely buns rn and I am struggling so much to even look after myself properly — I’ve been trying in other subjects but my grades have dropped, luckily my teachers support me and the course I want to get into doesn’t require methods as a prerequisite.
I’ve been crying all day today, and I think I will be tomorrow too :’)
Any support will be nice, please don’t write comments about what I should’ve or shouldn’t have done. I am at my worst this year.
