Guys, I need some help!
I don't know whether or not to drop Physics at the end of the semester and pick up specialist.
Here's my pro's and con's for both:
Physics
Pros:
-I know I should be able to do at least average at it in year 12
-I am moderately interested in it.
Cons:
- Bores me sometimes
- Never excited for Physics lessons
Specialist Maths
Pros:
- I like Maths
- Will allow me to do a semester less of a subject in Uni
- Possibly boost ATAR because of higher scaling (Not a deciding factor for me though)
Cons:
- It will be harder and I may fail it. It's said to be the hardest SACE subject.
- Never experienced it before so I might not even like it.
Which ever I choose I will have to do it in year 12.
I don't think y'all have Specialist Mathematics in the HSC, but it's a harder Maths subject that focuses on 'engineering type' maths, namely Trig.
I would do both, but my school makes it compulsory to undertake a subject called Research Skills which is the most useless subject ever. I may be able to not do it with the support of my parents by calling the SACE board.
So, which should I do? Or how should I decide?
Thanks!
