    Economics or Legal Studies

    I only know about Economics but everything depends on what marks/ATAR you want. Difficulty - Economics is all basically interrelated. If you are a person who can make connections between parts of the syllabus and stuff then that would help a lot with Eco. Some parts make you think but it's...

    Subject help for HSC?

    Economics is challenging at times but really good. Business is easy but fun in a way and interesting. Ancient is pretty good, but i've also heard lots of people who love modern. Depends what you like. You can always change or drop stuff anyway (well in the first few weeks)
