Why do some people just not try in SOR? I understand not everyone enjoys, but it's such an easy subject in wich to do well.

well you don't have to really try to do well (in my case).

all i've ever done for SOR is about 2hrs of revision the night before and assessment (like today's trials) and i'm acing it.

subject allows you to bullshit/waffle a lot so i use that to full advantage.

So true. I did prety much nothing last term last year and first term this year, and read for like 3 hours the night before the half-yearlies, and got 25/30. It does allow you to waffle a lot, except for the census data stuff.

I know, I can't believe it actually scales up.

im ranked 10th atm so i was a bit worried about screwing it up but like others say i waffled my way especially religion and peace and the non religion question on humanism cause we only just did it.

Also the islam part i bs'd to the max cause i was on work placement and never caught up:uhhuh:

Half of section I on ours was replaced since we haven't done the 'other' religions in Australia topic yet.

Think i did alright though, hopefully.

Hahahahahaha...

I wouldn't have chosen Jesus anyway. It's more like Peter or Paul. I will probably swing towards one of them.

cause its a fucken joke that our school forces us to learn it - also a lot of people have 11 units so SOR will prob not mean shit to their UAI

Because the majority of us, never wanted to do it. I certainly didn't choose it. And tbh, most can't respect a subject and teacher they never wanted, or asked for.

Despite this, I'm one of the few in my class who tries anyway.

The reason that it scales up is because so many people who go well in other subjects do not try in SOR. Therefore because so many go well in all their other subjects and do not even bother for SOR it seems that it is a harder subject which increases the scaling of it...pretty stupid hey

I really like religion and i do find it odd that it scales up in a similar way to business considering business studies has a shitload more to remember and is much harder!
