Personally, I'd say Extension 2 English. Dunno why. I just do. What do you think?

No competition. Maths Ext 2 smashes 4U Eng in scaling and prestigiousness.

Fair enough. I guess there is a natural "beauty" about Maths that I seem to have missed. Do you do any of the courses?

I'd have to say Maths Extension 2. Cause its Maths and we all know how difficult Maths is. hehehe lol

Really depends on the university course you wish to get into. University courses like Speech Pathology would be more interested in your result in English than your result in MX2.

I think he was asking more about the prestigiousness of the courses within high school.

I find ext 2 english more prestigious, because no one does that in my school. But Maths, pretty much everyone does 2 Unit and quiet a few does extension 2, even I could've done it. However, for ext 2 english I would never stand a chance.

I think maths, because really, anyone with a basic skill in english could put together a 4u english major work if they worked hard enough at it and get a decent mark. For maths though, a certain skill is required, and there are some people, who no matter how hard they work at 4u maths won't be able to do it.

Well, it's really up to the personal interpretation. He didn't specify it.

MX2 because to do really well in it ie. 97+ you have to have pure natural talent whereas in ENX2 anyone can complete a major work if they try hard enough.

Nah, I disagree. Both works require a intensive work and great degree of effort and natural talent to get a good result.

Why are there 09ers commenting on this? Wait 'til you actually get there. Without a doubt its Maths.

Prejudice much? How are you to know that 09ers have any idea in regards to this issue or not?

And what I am saying on this forum are all known as common sense. All I am doing here is to recite all those common sense all out. Even the Year 10 kids would be able to tell that EX2 AND MX2 both require a intensive amount of work.
