you should choose the subjects you like... i'm a crazy person and chose all 3 sciences. i want to do medicine :)
umm but yeah... if you hate science, then dont pick it ! ehehehe.. i really enjoy chem and bio ... and physics.. err.. i dont really like...
i picked them because they apparently scaled high and they go hand in hand with each other..
i picked Vietnamese first..then dropped it because there were too many international students kicking my ass... IT [tafe] because it took too much time and religion [1 unit] .... i sleeep in religion :)

Don't do something purely because of the scaling. It changes every year and if you do something for the scaling but don't really like it you're buggered

well Tenille i dont really like any subjects.. = S
i only like little bits of everything.. sometimes because of the teacher sometimes because its easy..
i do advanced maths and english.. i thought i was good at them.. but turns out im not :p

i do phys and chem and i think tehy're alrite..but i like physics better cause our chem teacher is just weird.
I did ext 1 maths, but i dropped cause i was failing and bc i absolutely didnt get it and hated maths, i was failing 2 unit as well. So now i do 2 unit maths.
Adv english is alrite, i'm not one of those ppl who just write n do well, i have to think abt it and relate etc etc, but it doesnt seem as demanding as physics, chem n maths.
I did IT in one yr and finished that but most of us ended up hating it cause it scales very low. I do software now and the prac stuff is very easy, its just that i do crap in teh theory...dunno why though, except so far weve only done one chap n its 1 term until the hsc starts!
Hope it helps

I definitely wouldn't reccomend IPT (information processes & technology) cause its so pointless and boring. If you're good with computers and want to do a computery subject do software design.
Also, be careful about choosing subjects where you have to do a major work in year 12, (like art) because its a constant hassle all year long - especially at this point right before the trials. Its especially annoying if you have more than one subject where you have to do a major work...some people I know are doig three, and are quietly going insane... :chainsaw:
Biology isn't too bad if you want to do a science - it usually scales better than senior science, but then again, that changes from year to year.

Well i did chem for a term, hated it our teacher wasent that good. i did geog instad, it is really easy if you can bullshit well and use big words in the right context. 2 unit maths is ok i supose, Adv. english is good, i enjoy most of it except Frost (grrrrrrr Frost :chainsaw: ), but i have to wonder about my teacher. I do SOR one which is much more intresting than Catholic Studies, so not droping to that. I also EXT1 english- Gothis literature, its ok i suppose, if i never had to hand anything for it it would be great, but im droping it at the end of the year. I do modern, its alot of work, but if its an intresing topic its good. And i do Legal which i really enjoy.

meeee ok heres just a suggestion (perhaps a starting point if you will?)

Advanced English
General Maths
Society and Culture
Business Studies
IPT
Senior Science

If you hate all of them well at least it helps you narrow it down!!

A few of my friends do bio, but they say you don't get to do anything intresting to like year 12,.

If you don't mind doing alot of work modern is good.

But i would highly reccomend you do Legal, so then you can tell cops off when they arrest you wrong lol
