i'm a year 10 student in the eastern suburbs (go to a private school and i doubt anyone's heard of it coz it ain't that big like SCEGS or SydGrammar)
i was wandering if anyone studies physics, chemistry and biology?? i absolutely LOVE science and am doing really well in it
umm also does anyone do 14units in year 11?? is it a good idea?

some people do do the 3, not myself, but if u love them that much and r good i don't see any problem

14units in yr 11 some people do, but itf ur prepared 2 work, then u could do it
but in yr 12 14u is not recommended

I really enjoyed Science in year 10, so i did Chem in year 11 for the first term and ended up hating it. Year 11 science is alot different to year 10.

But im suppose im not really what you call a 'science person' so yeah. A few people at my school are doing all 3. it really isnt a problem, if you enjoy them and willing to learn in them do them all.

cool thanks :)
the only thing that i'm not looking forward to in biology is the fact that more than half the year are doing it (and more than half the year are dick-wads) :S but with chemistry and physics no more than 4 people will choose each so that'll be good

Hey
The best advice is to do what you like really. You should evaluate your strengths and pick subjects which you believe you would enjoy and be good at.
I'm currently doing economics, business studies, legal studies, advance english, IT, Modern History. Also think about what you want to do when you get older and what subjects fit into that occupation.
Defitnely do advance english as in my view its pretty much the same as standard.
Economics is way hard but gets scaled up heaps well.
Do Modern History if your good at essays.
Business and Legal are both easy as. There pretty interesting
Dont do IT, i'm dropping it for year 12. Its so poor.

yeah but thats like soo much damn work.. i think i'm doing ok with 13.... but i dont pay attention in religion :D so that doesnt count.. and since IT is like after school..ur going to find that by the time you get home etc etc.. its late and ur too tired to anything else... my friends do IT at TAFE and they fnish at 6 and get home at about 7:30 because they have to wait for the bus and the trains to come.... i dont know about you... wow... 2 days a week? wow... yeah but my friends arent allowed to drop it until they finish term 4 of this year... so yeah.. i think you'd be stuck with it until first term year 12 :p
