I think it was the maths that threw me to be honest. Not to say girls aren't equally good at math.
Haha, I don't care. It's generally true.
Probs not because boys are 'better' per se, but girls are 'stupid' ( trollface.jpg ) and think it's a 'boy subject', therefore err on the side of arts/humanities/unemployment ( trollface.jpg )

This would be cool on your tumblr kfnmpah
haha, thanks bro.
I'll save it to my computer, and use it after a sufficient amount of time has passed so my stubbornness doesn't get in the way of me enjoying posting something I didn't find myself.

*follow me, teehee*

I don't mean to but everyone on this website has a HSC goal of high 90's and to get that kind of score you don't normally do art, drama, dance and music
Even so, you can get any ATAR with any set of subjects. People get high 90's all the time with thoses subjects.

Yeah okay everyone I know understand that I was wrong and it is not true that a high atar has any correlation to what subjects you do. It is possible to get any atar with any subject combination and I deeply apologize if I have offended anyone.

That's ok. You didnt really offended anyone so no worries man.Well i really think that creative subjects are hell difficult and no practice will do it good and yes this is very relative just like others said

I guess it depends on the person, I'd probably find English Extension 1/2 the hardest since I'm not that way inclined and I'm sure I'd do shit at geography.

definatly Maths Extension 2.
definatly NOT Maths Extension 2, actually.

In 1966-1980 the 4 unit course was a 2 year course (called Level 1 from 1966-1974).

In 1981 it was dummed down to be a 1 year course (now called Extension 2).

So my answer is Level 1 maths.

I don't know if we can count subjects that no longer exist. :) Interesting info though.

this is a fantastic link for people who are concerned about their subject choices. It tells you the highest atar achieved by someone doing a particular subject.
Someone got 99.90 with drama.
Someone got 99.85 with business.
Someone got 99.80 with standard.
Someone got 99.60 with general.

go figure hahaha.
