With reference to your signature, why did you choose Ancient instead of Modern? Just curiousThere's definitely an element of pressure so don't be scared

http://www.uac.edu.au/documents/atar/2012-tables/2012_HSC_Table A3.pdfJust to clear things up, Modern scales significantly better than Ancient/Legal/Business, and even more so if you get a low band 6 and above (91-ish+ I think).
Business scales better than Legal if you get above 93-ish.
I know. I'm just exaggerating how it feels likeHeh, it's not like that.
nope, my school doesn't offer history extension *argh*http://www.uac.edu.au/documents/atar/2012-tables/2012_HSC_Table A3.pdf

Check out ATAR calculators too. It'll put the above scalings into practise. Both of your statements are incorrect (but I guess it's wrong by what my measurement of "significant" is). Correct me if I am wrong, but Legal is slightly better than Business in terms of scaling, and Modern is better than Ancient by a reasonable, but not significant amount. Out of all of them though, Modern is just the highest scaling subject in front of Legal. But, without question, if you did History Extension, that has very good scaling. Would you consider History Extension, lightthefuze for Year 12?
Subject clashes. lolWith reference to your signature, why did you choose Ancient instead of Modern? Just curious
AwSubject clashes. lol
Would definitely recommend SORII. I go to a Catholic school too and everyone in 2u loves it. Majority of us in 1u, like me, hate it. 2 u is more interesting.Hi all!
I'm currently in the process of subject selection (which will happen first week - after the holidays) and I'm strong in the English and Humanities subjects. These are my current preferences:
1. English Advanced
2. SOR II (I attend a Catholic school)
3. Ancient History
4. Legal Studies
5. Society & Culture
6. CAFS
I'm currently deciding between:
a) Modern and Ancient
b) Legal and Business
and whether I should scrap S&C and replace it with Modern
*I'm not that great with numbers so please don't chuck in Economics or Science related
Subject suggestions and current or past experiences with these subjects would be greatly appreciated!
mines week 3 ! the nervousness of year 11 is getting to me.. i guess no more late night skypes and calls to friends just to "chat". Time to keep my head down and study.Y E S WAY
Have you finished selecting your subjects? We're starting first week back of Term 3!
It honestly feels like I'm signing away my life
zomg samemines week 3 ! the nervousness of year 11 is getting to me.. i guess no more late night skypes and calls to friends just to "chat". Time to keep my head down and study.
LOL I do exactly this.mines week 3 ! the nervousness of year 11 is getting to me.. i guess no more late night skypes and calls to friends just to "chat". Time to keep my head down and study.
Then Modern History. Plus:I'm thinking of doing Ancient, but I had an interview two days ago with my History teacher that I've had for three years and he asked me about the parts that I liked in Year 10 History.
Me: "I liked the whole communism situation, Stalin, Marx, Petrov Affair"
Him: "So you like political history?"
Me: "Yeah"
Year 9&10 History is nothing like year 11, and you don't go in-depth into anything.- I've learnt some of the Modern stuff in 9 & 10 anyway
I wouldn't worry too much about the workload of Modern History. Yes, it's seemingly more than that of Legal Studies or Business. But it's definitely manageable. Especially if you're into the modern aspect of history. The work will become easy if you have interest in it.I'd love to do Modern (bc hey Hitler, Romanov Dynasty), it's just the fact that:
- There are so many responses that I may not have the energy to balance out all of my subjects and end up concentrating on one (where it scales higher) and not the rest of my other subjects
- With Legal and S&C I'd have a high workload
- I've learnt some of the Modern stuff in 9 & 10 anyway
- The teachers who are taking up the Ancient classes next year are just superb
- If I do both, I might get overwhelmed by such a vast array of historical dates, events and people
Many people take up both histories and are doing just fine. They cover different time periods and getting mixed up and confused is unlikely. Just treat it as a completely different subject, which it is.- If I do both, I might get overwhelmed by such a vast array of historical dates, events and people
Please don't do that to yourself lol. You're still in year 10, you have 2 years of freedom before the HSC.mines week 3 ! the nervousness of year 11 is getting to me.. i guess no more late night skypes and calls to friends just to "chat". Time to keep my head down and study.
aaah.... the sympathetic pains of having no social life in 2014... i can feel my depressing seeping in now hahahaLOL I do exactly this.
Don't worry. I'm sure your social life will remain intact, as long as you are organised and have a consistent work ethic. Never sink yourself into work 24/7aaah.... the sympathetic pains of having no social life in 2014... i can feel my depressing seeping in now hahaha
