    What's your politics?

    More or less centrist (more progressive, sort of liberal) I'd vote for neither of the main two parties, and I'd vote for the Greens.

    How strict are your schools on choosing a subject?

    How content heavy are these subjects?

    I see. I tend to have problems with more or less subjective subjects and to do better in more objective stuff, like maths. I'll assume history is more or less in between those.

    When will HSC be done on the computer?

    How content heavy are these subjects?

    Thanks for the info. I'm just afraid I won't last prelim year because of content heavy subjects, though I enjoy all (but Business Studies; it seems really dull) I figured that I may drop IPT and/or Business studies (maybe MX1 as well, since my English is quite weak [however, crime...

    How content heavy are these subjects?

    I've already confirmed my subjects, but I didn't realise I picked 14 units. So I would like someone to tell me how content heavy these subjects are and possibly what kind of "heavy" it is (ie: essays, research papers etc.) - SOR II (SOR's compulsory :( ) - English Extension I - Ancient...
