is having 12 units for year 12 hard? (1 Viewer)

[ix3powerrangers]

currently i have 13 units because i do
english ext 1
english advance
chemistry
biology
studies of religion 1
business studies
accelerated mathematics

i plan on dropping extension 1 maths next year. and accelerated mathematics will turn into accelerated extension 1 mathematics next year (i'm doing the whole mathematics 2u course the year and sitting the hsc for it this year. next year i'll be doing the whole extension 1 mathematics course and sitting that exam next year)
all in all i'll have 12 units on my time table do you think i will cope?

Dont you "have" to do 2unit if u do extension?

I'm quite sure the vast majority of students do 12 units, so I doubt it would be especially hard. Nevertheless, it is Year 12, so you have to be prepared for hard work regardless. But as I said, there is nothing especially difficult about 12 units, as most people take this amount.

yeah with maths i wouldve finished 2 unit this year and moved on to extension 1 next year

oh really? thanks
i got worried because when i was talking to my friends that i dont want to drop any other subjects but ext 1 english and take 12 units. they were all like :O
i would've dropped SOR1 but being in a catholic school they won't allow us, i could drop it to catholic studies but the timetable teacher guy, says its better if i stay in SOR1><"

No i meant, u have to sit hsc for 2u if u sit it for ex1.

well i think anyway.

Definitely not too difficult at all. Loads of people take 12 units, sometimes more (what with ext English, Maths and History).
I did 12 units for my HSC last year and managed it well. Personally, I actually think I would have been more stressed if I had only done 10 units. I kept General Maths as a "safety-net" sort of subject (I'm glad I didn't drop it because even though I worked my ass off for Music my I-did-nothing-in-this-class-for-two-years Maths mark still counted towards my ATAR... go figure. But those are the sort of things you should consider).

lol yeah i'll be sitting 2u hsc, except i'll be sitting it this year ><"
yeah sorry i can be confusing at times

Obviously.

I'm saying if you sit 3u next yr, u'll have to sit 2u with it again next yr.

 

[mirakon]

I don't think so. If you sit 2 unit once, the result carries over, meaning he only has to sit 3 unit next year.

No, the course will be listed as completed this year so 3U can be counted next year.

=S

Never heard of that, but I trust you guys.

Other people don't always know what's best for you xD Like last year, everyone who said they wanted to do 3 sciences for prelim this year received an :O and a "that's suicide!" response. I'm one of those people doing all three and personally it isn't that bad =) Also take into account how you're managing now with 13, and how much effort you think you are going to put in next year. You sound like the type of person who should have no problem with 12 units next year, as long as you work hard =D
