I have taster week, next week.
Taster week is where we are given information about subjects in class, and we can attend classes with year 11s.
After taster week (in 2 weeks) in subject selection..
I really have no idea what i want to do yet, yes im still a bit of an air-head..

Reason being is that, i really want to do law, but i was thinking of choosing:
Information Process Technology (2 unit)
Software Design Development (2 unit)
Maths (2 unit)
English Advanced (2 unit)
Legal Studies (2 unit)
Ancient History (2 unit)

I do quite well in IPT and History.. i have interest in law.. but i really don't know.
The Atars are so high and everything.. and well, right now my results are no where near 90+
I got 82% for History and 85% for IT last semester, and thinking about it all makes me think i won't be able to get the 90+ ATAR that i want.

But, i guess i just have to work harder, eh?

I also wish i did well in science, because if i did well in science, then i could pick one of the sciences next year and it would scale well (if i did well) but frankly, my mind will not comprehend science.
I got like 45% in science last semester. T_T

Not really necessary to get 90+ for law.

If you're in the Western suburbs, can get 80 and use the 5 bonus points for being in the area and getting band 6 in legal to get into UWS law. Then transfer to Macquarie or somewhere later.

the subjects you got are really good

you should probably consider changing SDD because it's a really boring subject or at least drop it once u get into yr 12

and for history you should consider doing modern as i herd from my friends that ancient is really boring.

but other than that the rest is quite good

Heh, I don't even have the choice to do these subjects, my school filters out all the ones that it thinks doesn't scale well.

</FAMILY><FAMILY food="" chose="" hu="" frend="" tech)=""> LOL, besides the cooking all my friends do is go into the computer labs and go on fb >.> But i guess the ease of a subject depends on the teacher and the student's aptitude. But yeah, food tech's scaling is quite appaling.

To be honest, food tech seems be a common sense subject that one can pick up easily (i did it in years 9 and 10).

Nevertheless, do it if you enjoy it :)

Not bad choices, though perhaps you should think about taking English Advanced ?
Also if you drop any of those subjects you'll have to pick up another subject; you need 12 units for prelim.

Yeah, consider English advanced. I picked Standard and i regret it so badly. If you are a decent english student, taking English Advanced over Standard will actually make a hell lot of a difference.

Don't take Economics out. If you must, take business studies out.

If you're not good at Maths you're probably best to steer clear of chemistry. Or just make sure you put a LOT of time into it.

Do Advanced English for at least Year 11. I know that sounds biased coming from someone doing 4 Unit English, but it's a good idea to start at the highest level of each subject; so long as you think you can handle it. Going to the lowest level of a subject will breed complacency.

No, so long as you manage your time well. I predict that you'll either hardly do any work in, get bored and/or will eventually drop SDD. But we'll see :p
