11 units or 13? (1 Viewer)

[minimalistik]

11 is a bit bad because really you can only not do well in a 1unit subject (i.e. SOR) and not stuff up with the other subjects your doing. 13 is really good but if you cant cope with the workload, drop down to 12. 12 is a nice number to stay with.

I as doing 13 units in year 12 right before the trials.... dont do it to yourself! Its just too much and I ended up having a nervous breakdown because if it... and generally I m a strong person so for me to do that meant that it would have been very difficult.

Seriously 11 units is plenty. I do 11 now and I dont regret it one bit... Ive never looked back since I dropped 2 units

I did 13 units and had no trouble. Trust me... its better than freaking out about not being able to fuck up one little bit.

 

[flipsyde]

I can still fcuk up without having to worry heaps.. I guess it depends to... I had 3 majors to handle as well

True...

Try to steer clear of major works, do no more than two.

not so much, it depends how much you stuff up the 2u subject. if it's a huge stuff-up then yeah it sucks, but if it's only fairly marginally below what you want when you convert it to a mark out of 50, it doesn't seem so bad

i got 13 but my principal says too much. should i drop legal or econ?

 

[cimbom]

What do you like better, legal studies or economics? I'm doing both- and they're both equally difficult, just economics is more fun.

One thing I learnt from my subject selections was that you know whats best for yourself. I was advised against doing 3 sciences, and ended up with high ranks in both bio and chem. I was told that 4u maths might be beyond me, I got very high ranks in both 3u and 4u. Do 13, decide what subjects you're going to do best at, then drop the ones you don't think you're going to do as well in around half yearlies time.

Legal vs Economics

No way ... legal is so much more *fun* ..........

im doin 13 units atm (yr 11/12 now) and its not that much work seeing as i get basically no homework for business or ipt, serious - business i have had 1 bit of homework since start of yr!

 

[Jaydels]

I'm yet another with the same problem, i have
4 unit maths
3 unit english
chem
physics
ag

I really hate english and wouldn't mind dropping extension, then I will have 12 units which is fine but I'm not sure if I'll end up keeping maths extension 2. Is it dangerous to have 11 units?

i now have 11- i've officially disposed of society and culture. I think 11 is fine- why waste your time on 13 when you only need to do 10? With 13 you know that one subject can be your 'throw away' subject... so you don't put as much effort into it as the others and it ends up being a waste of time. 12 is okay though- just in case you stuff up somewhere. With eleven you still have a unit of back up...

i guess if i had a more enthusiastic legal studies teacher... my eco teacher is great, lots of discussion. i know, it sounds pretty geeky saying economics is fun...

 

[Trev]

Society and Religion...I think.

 

[cimbom]
