Would you repeat methods?

If you don't/didn't obtain a SS that you are particularly happy with, would you repeat methods, given the chance?
I can still repeat methods next year however I don't think I would do much better (no motivation, boredom etc.) Also some uni courses require methods with a study score of 35+ (or something of that domain.) so that would really make me consider it.

I'm not the most optimistic guy out there. I just want to be prepared.

And an early good luck for Friday, too.

I just want a 25. Juuust a 25. I'd probably die if I got 24, knowing that somehow maybe a couple of marks would've booted it up to 25.

But no I wouldn't redo it again, cuz that means I'd have to stay back and repeat year 12, haha.

I just want a 25 as well. I hate Methods. Why did I do it? I'm not gonna study for any of the exams either. Good fun! :)

I actually had considered this. (as did Costa too)

But I thought with a score of 37, it might be quite hard to actually beat that score.

So I didn't. My opinion is though don't worry about this until you get your results.

Personally, I really can't think of a course that would require 35 in Methods.

Um, no.
Seeing as I finish yr 12 this year - no way.
Even if I do not pass methods, I will not repeat it. Probably because learning it was a horrible experience and I don't need it for any courses I want to get into.

Well... If I was a year 11 student doing year 12 methods... I wouldn't even need to think about it! Worst experience ever! I won't pass it, I won't do the exam properly... I guess it would have been a subject wasted for me. :(

don't you get a % taken off your mark or study score or whatever if you repeat a 3/4 subject?
