Hi everyone! I'm in Year 10 and go to a high school ranked in the 500-600 ranges. My subject selections are just around the corner and my aim is to get an ATAR of 95+ (I know it's hard but that is my biggest ambition yet), anyway these are my subjects that interests me.

1) ADV MATHS
2) ADV ENGLISH
3) LEGAL STUDIES
4) PHYSICS
5) CHEMISTRY
6) IPT

Reserves:
1) PD/H/PE
2) Economics

So yeah! There you have it! Again, these are the subjects that I am strongly interested in and cannot wait to to lock them in next week. Btw can anyone please give me tips on how to do well on these subjects if you are currently doing them in your senior years or have done them in the past, thank you!

1) Give 2U Advanced Mathematics a shot at least. If you end up finding it too hard, you can always drop down. Better to start off with the higher level of the mathematics so you have the choice to stick with the higher level or drop down to the lower level.

Basically... go against teacher's recommendation if you can.

2) Standard English has terribly disadvantageous aligning... so please give Advanced English a shot.

Advanced English
2U Maths
Whatever else you're interested in.

It'll give you the best shot at getting 95+
