At one point in Year 9, I was sure that I'd pick Chemistry and Physics.
By Year 10, I was contemplating upon the humanities trio of Economics, Business and Legal.
Ended up with Economics, Business and Physics (one science cause it's Science - it was my choice really cause my parents had no idea what was going on).
Went Physics tutoring in Years 11 and 12, did better in Year 12 physics than in Year 11 physics but ultimately, it didn't even count (12 units person) for me.

My thoughts when I hear people doing the science trio of Chemistry, Physics and Biology.
That being said, I think BOSTES needs to promote subject diversity in Year 11/12.
In SE Asian countries, you don't even have a choice most of the time even in your final years of schooling. Imagine compulsory Geography in Year 12 (unless you're a Geography kid already) or a compulsory language in Year 12.
For example, it should be compulsory to do at least:
- a level of English
- a level of Mathematics
- a Science subject
- a History/Social Science subject
- a Language* (asterisk because it's probably not as fundamental as the 4 areas above)
A well rounded education is important.
