Subject selection (2 Viewers)

[windows64]

hi everyone, i need to select my subjects next week and i have a vague overview of what i want to do:

• English Adv
• 3U math or 4U
• Chemistry
• Bio or physics
• some hsie subjects (maybe SAC)

Basically i feel like thtas a LOT of workload, and all the english teachers are trying to scare us into doing standard and i just wanted to know whether thats a good idea or not
and yeah just everyones thoughts bc i dont wanna be too hard on myself

give a go at doing eng adv, if you don’t like it or scoring low marks on it, there’s always an option to drop down to standard. but if u start doing standard, some schools don’t let you move up for adv

if ur doing all of those sciency subjects definitely do a less content heavy HSIE subject- so NOT Modern cause you'll want to cry

so which hsie one should i do

 

[band6yesplease]

so which hsie one should i do

SOR is easy and interesting especially SOR 1 which has hardly any content so you can basically predict the exam, Legal is content heavy but the exam is really easy, my friends to Ancient and they said its hard in terms of the exam but less content than modern.
I would go SOR 1 if it were me

just remember SAC has the pip major work which would be a lot of workk imo esp. with your sciences so maybe switch to another hsie subject, unless you feel like you'd like the content

 

[nsw..wollongong]

ooo i reckon sac works pretty well with ur other subjects, i have friends that do all sciences + sac and its one of their more chill subjects (smaller cohort, easy-ish trial bc the syllabus isn't too content content heavy compared to subjects like modern, econ or legal). but yeah SOR is also a good option

 

[windows64]

nonon i dont wanna do all sciences, i just dont know whether i sholud do bio or physics

 

[windows64]

and also should i do english standard or advanced

 

[Unovan]

and also should i do english standard or advanced

no way there's another preminger fan... thsi is like a tumour through bos

 

[qweeosh]

and also should i do english standard or advanced

Advance so you can drop down if you find it too hard

 

[carrotsss]

and also should i do english standard or advanced

Advanced 1000% standard is literally the exact same except your class will be filled with dropkicks and you won’t work as hard

 

[nsw..wollongong]

standard and advanced scale practically the sm as well, do adv then drop if need be

 

[carrotsss]

Even if u don’t do amazing at English advanced at first don’t drop straight away, I was like really really bad at English last year and through a ton of work I managed to top an assessment this year, enough hard work in English can overcome any level of natural talent

• 3U math or 4U

Just a note that you can't do 4u math in year 11. This makes SOR I even more viable for you because you can do 3u maths and sori to get an even number of units in that regard.

• Bio or physics

For sciences, I would say consider what career path you want to take as well (Medicine --> Bio, Engineering --> Physics, etc.)

• some hsie subjects (maybe SAC)

Regarding SAC: the subject has a major work in Y12, so consider not doing any other subjects with a major work.

HSIE: check the syllabuses for all the HSIEs your interested in and check prelim/hsc papers as well - I felt doing this gave me an idea of what subjects I would (probably) enjoy doing. Also remember all your other units + one HSIE adds up to 12 (change that up if needed)

 

[windows64]

okkkk thank you everyone

 

[windows64]

we r one and the same i realised from y6 my eng level did not change until y10 cause i had such bad teachers and then i became an eng god in last sem of y10

and so u did advanced?

 

[windows64]

was going to have to do it either way but like eng can be improved so easily w feedback

yeah but apparently the english faculty at our school is kinda ass (except one teacher idk what she teaches tho)

 

[sheppy123]

1. pick english advanced and stick to it. dropping to standard won’t suddenly get you better marks and it’s in no way an easier course

2. only critique is that having two science is pretty risky + SAC is pretty ass ngl. i’d maybe pick two hsie subjects and 1 science if you’re already planning to do 4u math

so which hsie one should i do
