Bachelor of Arts/Laws? I was considering doing the exact same (if I get the marks that is), only not at USyd as I highly doubt I'll get the necessary mark.

Oh and the top five thing isn't a worry, I'm first in the rest of my subjects by a substantial margin. Though this might not be an accurate representation of my ranking in the state.

I feel the need to point out the fact that I'm not actually shit at maths, I can handle the maths involved with chem perfectly fine (as it is rather basic). I'm doing adv. maths and ext. 1 at the...

Really? That's a coincidence! I really hope that I can do as well as you did, I'll make that my new goal :)

A lot of what you're saying makes a lot of sense and it's something that I've been trying to tell people, not just on this thread but in general. Yes, maths scales well, but it really doesn't do...

I put the part in brackets to show that it wasn't just a generalisation, everyone at my school who does it is female.

Yeah, If I had half a brain I'd probably be keeping maths, but I'm really...

Thanks, I really do appreciate your opinion because you're one of the only people who has raised that point and it is a really important one. There definitely is more to the HSC than just picking...

At my school the girls (and they are all female) who do dance spend more time on their hair than studying, so it's not really something I equate with academic focus. Though a lot of people probably...

I know, some of these subjects are really unbalanced. Actually, this table is surprising. I can't get over the fact that someone got 99.15 and they wasted units on dance. Whatever makes you happy I...

I hate maths (obviously) and I don't struggle with the maths involved with chem at all, though I'm not finished the course yet.

Just on the table that a few people have posted with the highest marks achieved by people who did each subject, has anyone else noticed that only 9.3% of people who did software were female? What...

You underestimate the difference between not liking something and hating it. I would still study for maths, just no where near as much as I would for subjects that I both like and excel at (i.e....

Fact: people are less likely to put in a lot of work if they hate something and aren't good at it.

Seems stupid, but I actually love chem for some reason. I suppose because I can immediately see the actual applications so it doesn't seem as irrelevant. Also, explosions are fun (I mean combustion...

Ok, so perhaps I'm being just a little dramatic. Maybe. But I really do hate maths. I don't know if I'd have the dedication to do the required study to do well in a subject that I so strongly detest.

Exactly what I was thinking!

French Ext. actually scaled better than Maths Ext. 1, but of course Ext. 2 scaled amazingly. I was really desperate to do economics, I did year 9/10 commerce and found it really interesting and the...

ICAS medal? Well that may be plausible... Thanks a lot! I'll look into it :D

Yeah, I get what you're telling me. Maths really does help your ATAR a lot.

16 units? and you love studying for maths? Well you're clearly a genius.

Well you're bloody lucky, It makes me want to cry

Oh right, well I did about half an hour before beginning to seriously contemplate suicide so I just gave up.

Sarcasm, I'm assuming no one (except for maybe a couple of the 99.95ers) loves studying for maths.

Yeah, considering I have trouble walking without falling on my face I don't think that's overly likely. Thanks for the suggestion though

I know, crazy right!? Who doesn't love studying for maths?
