Re: SC Notes/Useful Links (No Spam)

""Preliminary Subjects 2009:
English 3 Units
Maths Adv (2units)
Chemistry
Arabic
NOW IM STUCK HERE:
Biology OR Modern History
Legal STUDIES OR Business STUDIES
I hate both legal and business studies, but i have no other choice..the stupid teachers at ma school cant work out the timetables better than that""

These are just my suggestions but i reckon u should do Modern History cause ur already doing a science (chemistry) and biology doesn't open up 2 many career otpions so if u decide u don't want to do any job with science u might be able to go with history.
If u don't like legal studies or business studies do business studies cause it is way easier and u dont want to do something that u don't like and is really hard

Hiiii... tnx heaps :D

yeh i get wut u mean.. i decided on Modern Hist.. and i looked at past HSC exam papers for both business and legal.. and legal is really easy.. i was able to answer most of the multiple choice questions from my general knowledge.. but the business one was sorta stupid..
so im going with legal and modern.. =]

But we're still workin out somethin at school.. we're complaining coz its not fair how most girls didnt get the subjects they wantd.. :S

but thnx again for ur suggestions.. appreciate it :D

Even though I am a humanities whore, if you prefer the sciences you might be best to go with bio.

Legal or business? That's a bummer decision... legal might be better for you, I don't wanna do it either but hey you might end up liking it...

I personally prefer the sound of Legal Studies, but try whatever your instincts tell you to pick. You can always change if you don't like it (depending on your school regulations).

Re: SC Notes/Useful Links (No Spam)

Personally I would do Biology and Business because I dont really have a taste for Legal, but up to you i guess

a small and worthless opinion: I'd choose Legal and Bio.

i will choose bio and legal in your situation.

As for someone who said there is a link between chemistry and biology. I dont think that takes place till year 12 as it depends on what elective you are doing. My school for bio is like the genetic code and for chem is forensics chemistry :D!

Aww, why so much hate for Legal?
Its not that I hate the subject.
I just dislike it and would prefer not to do it.
Its interesting and stuff but I don't feel passionate about it.

I also don't want to do it because of how big the classes are.
And the people in the classes, I have one class with some of them and ahh they can get so annoying.

But I have no choice. Its either legal, business, retail, hospitality or early childhood. GAH. It sucks.

You hate ALL social science subjects? I just loathe geography with a passion. Come to think of it most social science subjects are dry...

I was over the australia part of it way before it began, but I do like a bit of ancient history and reading stuff on the middle ages out of interest in my own time.
