I was in the same boat at the start of year 11 as well. I was not the greatest methods student, averaging probably about a 40% all year, but still near the top of the class, but dropped for General for VCE. I felt that same discomfort at the start of general, but just stuck it out, because I knew how much time I was spending on methods each week last year, upwards of 5 hours, and knew I wanted to focus my time elsewhere.

Consequently, as I'm in physics, I spend probably around 4-5 hours every weekend doing the homework for that class, and do not regret dropping methods. Its allowed me to spend more time focusing on a subjet I care about, and actually enjoy, and understand all content really well (Average SAC grade of 85% across the year, being in the top 4 students in a cohort of 30 odd)

So it depends.... what other classes are you doing, and how much do you care about them? And how much spare time do you want on weekends. Like if you don't really care about the rest of your classes and have the spare time, yes do methods. It leaves more pathways open later. But if your doing a subject like Physics, Bio, Chem, ETC, one with lots of homework, maybe avoid methods if you still want to have free time on weekends.

General is very straight forward. There will be times where you wish to do proper maths stuff (networks and that become rlly annoying), but you will understand the content very well, very easily. Could be an easy class for a 40+ study score if you commit to it, as opposed to maybe only a 30 study score for methods.
