It depends on the uni really- have a look through their websites to see.

If it was required would it be better to do it in the HSC or a course in uni ( keep in mind probably have to get a tutor to do well teacher is useless ) ?

Should HSC mu1 pieces start practicing now? Or is 1.5 years before the HSC too early. Idk I'm extremely mediocre and I feel like Ill be needing all the prac I can get but clarinet tutor said something about overplaying pieces and wearing out the freshness or something
p.s. Aaaany recommendations for performances on clarinet for someone that's AMEB 3/4?????????????

We didn't do 3u in year 11 but we're doing it in year 12 now - 3u is more fun

If you are taking about maths I like both. Basic algebra is easy and functions is easy and interesting as well.

Yes! I'm doing 2 unit and finding it so boring! At the moment it seems to be all revision. But I would never be able to do 3 unit maths! Haha

Oh haha, I meant English, sorry, but yeah that's true prelim 2U starts really bland. Don't worry, when you get to calculus, you'll have plenty to work on!

XD I'm actually enjoying exploring the themes but I hate the whole subjective technique thing. Like, if the author wanted to portray what you think he's portraying in a technique, he would've just said it. Blue curtains don't mean that the protagonist is sad.
