My subjects are in my sig. I know that maths continually builds on itself, and english continually improves english skills, but how about physics and chemistry?

Everything in the 'prelim' course of Mathematics and MX1 is needed for the HSC.
Prelim English Advanced is just practice for the HSC course. Nothing carries over.
Prelim Chemistry is good to know for the HSC course, esp. the formulas and reactions like neutralisation and reactions with metals etc.

didn't do physics, photography or comp. aps.

From what I heard, nothing but maths will be carried over to yr 12.

But I think it's still beneficial to study well in year 11.

Whilst the preliminary physics and chemistry course are not directly assessed in the HSC examination, all prelim phys and chem content is "assumed knowledge" for the HSC course.

Eg, using the wave equation in world communicates is also applied in HSC course topic 3 - ideas to implementation, but you won't be taught it over again, just be assumed to be able to use it.

also, you are assumed to be able to do all the chemical equations learnt in prelim

Maths 100% will be carried over to year 12.
Physics forms the foundation for year 12, if u don't understand the concept in year 11, good luck with year 12...
English is nothing but practice. Nevertheless you should still try in english as the practice is essential for year 12, and you might be able to use some of your year 11 texts as related texts in year 12

Ask your teacher, they should tell you which does.

I remember some of the chemistry content does carry over after i asked my teacher. Just have a quick chat or ask.
