“I failed my methods SAC”

I’m doing well in my other subjects but struggling so hard and losing motivation for Methods.

Hi, my name is Pariz, the creator of Maths Methods Club.

Over the years of tutoring I’ve noticed that you may be working hard in Methods, practicing all the textbook questions, feeling pretty confident going into the SAC but find yourself dumbfounded when it comes to the actual SAC (or exam).

It feels terrible failing anything, but it feels even worse because you studied so hard and revised for weeks on end.

“How am I going to cope with exams? Is it still possible to get a decent study score”

After years of figuring out what separates the “high achievers” from everyone else, I finally cracked the code.

If you ask how can I improve in methods?, many people will tell you “practice, practice, practice”.

But they never tell you what to practice or how to practice.

The top achievers don’t mindlessly spam textbook questions and call it practice.

They practice, but they practice tons of exam style questions.

So I used to tell my students the best way to prepare for your SACs (and exams) is through practicing exam questions,

and for the how?

You practice topic by topic.

I believe learning Methods comes down to repeated exposure to a topic, but from slightly different angles and perspectives.

This is where your textbook fails you. Textbook questions are not designed to resemble exam-style questions.

Don’t get me wrong, textbooks are good for learning the basics, but they won’t prepare you for the SACs (or exams) on their own.

This is why you get all motivated because you can do some textbook questions, then you go sit the SAC (or exam) and you look at it and be like WTF.

Thus, my motivation behind creating the Maths Methods Club.
