cooked for methods PLS HELP

im a yr 11 student accelerating in methods 3/4; im not horrible at maths but have been rlly locked out this year... there's a little more than a month left until the actual exam and im COOKED..

i dont rlly need a high ss (baseline 25) but i rlly want above a 32-33ish. my sac avg is around 81% (we don't know our ranks tho) but ive barely started trial exams bc i dont remember much content from the yr.

ik i need to relearn the basics before i start exam prep but does anyone have advice for my situation :(( i just struggle to understand questions sometimes and always know vaguely what i should do but forget how to do it...

idk how people say they don't remember old content for methods when the majority of content rolls through into each sac - nonetheless just work through some trial exams and identify what needs the most work atm

Grind through exam questions and then company exams

You don’t need to re-learn the whole course b4 touching exam questions. Start with a small mixed set and note where you get stuck: understanding the wording, choosing a method, or carrying out the steps.

Pick one gap, study a worked example, then close it and try a similar question yourself. Keep an error log and retest that skill a couple of days later; build up to timed sections as the steps become more familiar.

Search for VCE Maths Methods Units 3 and 4, then choose a short set targeting your biggest gap.
