Thank You! Sorry for the completely delayeeeedddd response.
Does anyone have any tips to stop Research Methods from making you cry? XD (Not literally, but you know what I mean )
To be honest, I always found research methods a pretty comfortable area. As long as you know your basic content (e.g. types of sampling, experimental designs), there are some easy MC marks on the exam. One tip I would note is to understand p-values and look at the wording that VCAA uses with p-values (VCAA 2015 exam, Section C, bottom of page 32 is a good example of this). Let me know if you want me to explain p-values further - I don't want to waste your time when there's a good chance you already get it
Other than that, my advice would be pretty simple - do practice questions. I would particularly focus on the extended response question from 2016 and the 2017 sample exam, as I would expect this years to be similar.
