@spiderfan44 You could probably answer this.
How much of yr 11 content for earth is involved in yr 12?
I am just thinking whether if this switch goes terribly I could join earth again for yr 12.

Although this obviously wouldn't work If i would be even more behind for earth.
i really doubt they would let you switch late into the school year.

the stuff in year 11 does relate to some of the year 12 syllabus - specifically some of module 2 (plate boundaries, plate boundaries and tectonic structures) and 3 (role of enery in earths processes, geological transformations) relates to module 6. some of module 1 relates to 8. they arent concepts that will completely stop you from being unable to understand content in yr 12, but they do help with understanding more for module 6 and being able to explain processes. they definitely are concepts you can recap on relatively quickly though

Hey guys,
I know many recommended me to just switch but tbh i’ve thought about it and i think not switching is a better option.

I really had to get through the other half of mod 2 and complete the rest of mod 3 after only learning it for 3 hours. While i probably could have caught up i feel it is a bit of a gamble and the stress associated is a lot for me.

In the end, i can always just study chem at uni with my interest in this field.

I hope this is the best option for me. I should band 6 earth in the HSC and looking at it earth actually scales decent on the high end.

Anyway, thank-you guys for ur support- It was a hard decision for me to put down the offer, but i feel it is better off for me.

Well I was studying using the pearson chem textbook with a mix of atomi from my friend. I went pretty slowly through the content because i wanted to properly understand it rather than speed run it and have no clue what it meant.

I know this is highly unlikely, but do u reckon they would let me drop my modern history class for a period where i self study chemistry and try to catch up for the prelims? Probably not even allowed but it’s worth a try asking i guess.
Theres no way dude. Prelims are right around the corner I highly doubt you can make any changes. If you need chem for your desired Uni Course try doing a bridging course? Idk if theres one for Chem tho.

I have gotten an offer to self study chemistry instead of my modern history class. Im gonna take this offer as I still get access to all the resources the chemistry class get but just have to sort of learn it myslef. I can still ask the teachers questions and stuff. I feel this is good for me as I can keep earth as my insurance and doing this I can give chem a go and see how i peform in the prelim. Depending how I go, I could drop earth and switch into the chem class for yr 12 or otherwise if it goes terribly. I just keep earth.

They basically dogged me from the self study prelim and have now said its not possible. Im an idiot.

NOO offence to EES students but I thought I made the right decision until i got into the class and we started learning about sewage water..
What have I done.
