well depends which you would like to do, i mean have a look at the prelim syllabus for both of those subs then decide which one ud like to keep if BS is boring then have a read at what u will learn u never know u might like it.

same goes for bio
have a look at the syllabus and see what u will learn u never know u might like bio also depends where ur headed for a career EG if u want to go towards Commerce drop biology if u wanna go towards Medicine/ Science drop business

that being said u DOnt Have to! just throwing in some suggestions to help u out :) eg me im heading towards medicine and i love learning about the human body and environment so i choose biology where as i got 100/100 for Commerce in yr10 but didnt go with business studies as i prefer biology over business studies as its interesting to me :D

to sum up go with what ud like to learn :) and if u didnt like it u can drop it in yr12 :D

There is so much content in Biology, so don't just assume it's easy. Especially when you haven't studied it yourself yet.

Drop Business. So what if you have three sciences? Or just keep it regardless. Or as TBK11 said, you can drop something in Year 12, and who knows? You may feel differently about a particular subject by then.

i do business and so far i love it, and people say that boilogy is easy but there is a lot of content.

if you feel that you have done a lot of science and you want to write intead, then do business. you are doing standard english so maybe you will get higher marks in boilogy because it isnt so heavily reliant on writing.

goodluck ;)

yeah i hate english and essays.

i wanna do engineering in uni.. so yeah im more towards keeping biology.
i did commerce last yr and the business part got boring for me even though i get almost full marks for everything in commerce.

i'm dropping biology in yr 12 anyway so i'd have 10 units.. or i might end up keeping it.

i really only need 3u maths, phys, chem, SOR1, standard eng. others are just to fill up space

then again.. theres the case that if this yr i fail 3u maths and need to drop it when i've already dropped business studies... i cant drop ext maths anymore since i'd only have 11u. doesnt work out.

hahaha im going to be biased and say do bio cos i like it
theres content but its not too bad its not like you need to write extended response answers like business! and since you want to do engineering niether will help !
but just pick the one you enjoy the most a feel you'll do best in!

Some terms, but that's about it.


That's like me saying Business Studies is similar to a BBusiness.


And besides, don't be so naïve in believing what other people have said about Biology. Make up your own mind, considering you haven't even studied it yet.

Why'd you pick them then?

Speak to your teachers or something, then drop the one you you're shitter at. If you hate one but you're getting good marks in it DON'T DROP IT. It's only two years..

&someone might say bio is easy which could be true, to them, but it might not be easy to you. Don't keep a subject because others told you it's easy. kay :)

Don't drop either. Dude, you just started the preliminary course.

Personally, I did Biology for six weeks in the preliminary course and switched because I hated the content. I had an interest in it before the preliminary course, but the content in it put me off.

Don't listen to others, because ultimately it's YOUR HSC, not theirs. Have a contrast between the Biology/Business Studies Preliminary and HSC syllabuses. Better yet, wait until Term 4, when you really start the HSC course.

Good Luck.

if you must choose one, drop business
its pointless, if you like the commerce world, do economics
