Regrets of Picking Certain Subjects (3 Viewers)

[Focus is Key]

I don't regret switching from Physics to CAFS in like my 4th week as I got an experience of Physics I really disliked. Although I did dislike it I'd rather not have a dubious 'What if' circulating my mind so in the long term I absolutely don't regret it. I then started to really like CAFS and I can't imagine not doing it. I don't regret picking Biology because I wanted to get a taste for it (plus I ranked first by like a mark in possibly the biggest shock ever). I am like half-half about choosing Ancient History over Chemistry just because I don't really know what Chem would have been like. I was okay at Chem in the junior years although I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have enjoyed it that much.

Instead of regrets I really have 'reliefs' which include picking English Ext 1 & 2, giving Extension maths a go and switching to CAFS

I really regret not accelerating anything. I would of loved to do 4u maths in y11 and i shouldn't of done bio.

I was planning to do Jap for Y11/12 since it was my strongest subject. Days before the final day of Y10, I switched from Jap to Eco and I have no regrets! I'm not exactly doing wonderfully in eco, but it's really interesting and much better than having quizzes every two days.

And I'm also happy with switching from Std. to Adv. (even though someone state ranked in Std. from our school) due to its MUCH superior aligning. I'm also happy with NOT dropping MX1 since it's as enjoyable as it is hard.

Overall, no regrets But I regret not being able to get better marks because of procrastination. Ah well.

regret dropping economics instead of modern, regret not picking up chemistry.

So you regret not doing the asian 5?

 

[aekryan]

Should have dropped chem, the subject i put effort in does not reward..
Should have done eco.
Shouldn't have dropped mod and SOR.

Goodbye Law.

Maybe standard English was a good decision after all.

I regret not picking ext 2 Maths...

maybe kekekekek

Not doing Accounting at Tafe and instead being stuck with CAFS, a last resort after dropping chem...

No regrets.

High scaling and challenging subjects are brilliant.

I regret having to do physics and chemistry, cos the amount of fucking rote stuff there is in there is despicable and depressing. Don't get me wrong, I love the subjects, but life would be fucking so much easier if we could JUST do maths and english. Christ.

m8, try Economics or Business Studies or any of the Histories (basically any Humanities).....

You'll see that Physics and Chem isn't as rote as other subs out there...

This is also true - there's too much rote learning for Chemistry and Physics because they should be more conceptual. All the humanities/social sciences are rote learning frenzies (experience from Modern History) - I just couldn't do it.

Biology - so so so boring except for watching David Attenborough docos very occasionally..

that's six subjects

 

[Kurosaki]

that's six subjects

I believe that they count maths as one-->
4U maffs, 2U English, phys chem and Eco

 

[Shadowdude]

since when is economics in the asian 5


that doesn't make sense at all because it's an essay based subject, and the asian 5 stereotype is meant to perpetuate a "we love maths, we hate english" deal.
