29 Oct 2009, 8:14 PM | Re: is this elective good my school is doing this elective for 08 hsc, hope it'll be interesting. and is it true that it's better to do the more popular electives, namely industrial and shipwreck, because a large proportion of the state will do it and most of them are hopeless thus giving you a better chance at a higher rank? |

17 May 2009, 2:11 PM  | Re: is this elective good ^ urban myth.... personally i don't think it's true... you are not "ranked" but rather "marked", even though there might be some subjectivity present in the marking. now back to OP: forensic is mostly organic chemistry, spectroscopic stuff... one of the only "university chemistry" you would be able to do. to be honest, shipwrecks and industrial were never done in university level pass first year iirc.

1 Mar 2009, 1:52 PM   | Re: is this elective good Isnt Forensic chemistry the hardest optional topic? I heard like 60% of the state does Industrial chemistry and the most of the remaining do shipwrecks, with very little doing the others.

15 Oct 2009, 1:21 PM | Re: is this elective good i guess doin an option that is hardest and rare gives you an advantage? i think thats why our teacher chose it, less competiive and if u do it well even better!

6 Nov 2009, 7:13 PM | Re: is this elective good So... the way I hear it, Forensic Chem is the best. From looking at all past trials and past HSC papers, the questions seem to be VERY straightforward and closely aligned with the dot points (available from the board of studies). So..... yeah. Fingers crossed its good!

26 Sep 2009, 1:32 AM | Re: is this elective good about 12% do forensic and a big chunk do industrial and shipwrecks. The other are mainly done by selective schools cos they're really hard we had our first forensic lesson today, it was good. Our hwk was to watch CSI lol
