I just want to ask if my school is the slackest school in the world. If ur not in the advanced math class, which only 20 ppl are in, then you are not allowed to do CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS, 2UNIT MATH/3U MATH. Also, if u want to do math, u may only do general.......... slackk

So you're permitted to do 5 subjects if you have a total of 12 units, as in both ext english and ext maths?

Your school offers psychology?! That's so cool. I wanted to do it, but I couldn't see it listed as a subject in any of the handbooks I was given. Is it a Category B course, or something?

yeah my friend is doing those subjects except swap eco for business. he thinks its a waste of time but it's probaby the teacher.. who is not really a business teacher...

You'll do just fine. Just remember don't fall behind on your work and you'll go great. And you can always change if you dont like them.

My school also offers psychology. it's not very grand but its interesting to some extent.

I'm not sure what a Category B course is. But apparently it's a board endorsed subject, if that means anything to you

I chose---

  • English (adv)
  • Maths (adv)
  • Biology--- (im thinking of changing it to chemistry)
  • Modern History
  • Society and Culture
  • Visual Arts
We only got a week to decide on our subjects. I thought it was a little rushed considering that we were given practically no information on what courses would be offered at our school. How long did everyone else get to decide on their subjects??? :)

We get about two weeks. But we've been thinking about it forever, heh.

My list at the moment looks like this:

3 English
2 Legal Studies
2 Drama
2 Ancienty History
2 Society & Culture
1 Philosophy

I know, I know...very humanities-based. Hee. Oh well, I can't wait to not have any more Science / Maths!
