2u maths
geo
ipt
1u rel
s&c

if i could, i would've done std eng from the start, n done photo as a 2 yr course (used 2 b available, sadly not any more, even though she said that if we had enough votes, she could've mabey made it a 2 yr), then mabey dropped geo (or just kept it as a back up..not that bad o a sub)
but not 2 bad overall

in yr 11 i did;
eng adv
maths (3U)
Legal
Bus. Studies
Textiles
Photography (1u)

i dropped the extra maths unit so i only do 2U maths now, and i dropped photography and legal. i hated legal so much, our teacher changed 4 times during yr 11 and cos my skl is so close to the Qld border, none of them knew the NSW syllabus, bcos they were Qld teachers, so our whole class ended up either failing really badly or getting tutors and only just failing... it sucked but i dont have 2 worry bout it now... thank god!

if i had the choice 2 change ne subjects i wouldve ditched legal from the start and done art maybe, or possibly food tech or something like that, and i also wish i hadve done std eng aswell as gen maths, so much less work and as i'm not really that interested in getting spectacular marks, a lot less stress and workload to have 2 deal with

I do:

Adv. English
2U Maths
Business Studies
IPT
Drama
Physics (Yr 11 only)

If I could choose again, I would do:

3U Maths in Yr11, and then drop to 2U in Yr12
3U English
Drama
Physics
Modern History
Art

Yeah, I hate most of my subjects that I'm doing now. IPT is so basic, but my teacher is a RETARD and has no idea, so the class is boringly crap. I'm failing Business, and yeah... I wish I could choose again.

2u ipt

wished:
4u maths
2u religion

and maybe history over ipt, but i like computers more, hard decision
software design over ipt but school had crap SDD teacher which turned me away for the subject after yr11
