Has anyone done 4U Maths, 4U English, Bio and Chem for their HSC?? (1 Viewer)

[Ivy2507]

I'm planning on doing the above subjects next term (currently in year 11) but many people are saying that's its too hard and it'll drive me insane. I am currently doing Math Ext 1 and Eng Ext 1 and I'm rank 1 in both plus I love both of the subjects and the sciences.. But i know the workload is gonna be a lot
So has anyone done these subjects for their HSC and can share their experiences and whether it was worth it
Thanksss

I did Maths Ext 2 out of the 4, but let me just say (based on what I have seen and heard) - its going to be a lot of work. Projects, assignments, heavy content (because that's the nature of these subjects) so you'll have to be very organised with your time.
Maths Ext 2 needs a lot of effort to keep up the high marks as well. It's quite different from ext 1 so you do need to practice a lot outside of the class exercises if you want to maintain the good marks
Good luck with the subjects tho )

Omg same!!!!! I am currently in Y10 and I am ranked first in both maths and english and i love sciences equally as much… and I am ALSO planning on doing 4U Maths, 4U English, Bio and Chem in Y12!!! i'm actually so glad i have found someone who is similar to me i think as long as you have a strong work ethic, you will be able to do it. Since you are ranked first, I’m really interested to know what ranking is your school? Even though I am also first, my school is like 200+

I'm afraid I cannot help you here, I'm just commenting because I'm basically in the same boat! Except I plan on dropping english extension all together xD

probably just depends on how passionate you are about doing a major work.
english extension 2 is probably going to be one of the hardest and the most painful time-management subjects on earth, ESPECIALLY with you wanting to take extension 2. While extension 2 won't be that hard if you find extension 1 easy (you are coming first after-all); the requirement of study is far vaster, and the saturation into the content through hundreds of questions becomes overwhelming during exam periods. in extension 2, you may never truly feel ready for an exam.

I'd probably recommend taking 11 units into year 12 with both 4 units; so you have the opportunity to drop one of your extension 2's.
good luck!
