Re: cant choose between 2 subjects

sor2 has pretty good scaling IMO. not a hard topic at all although im really stuck with the current topic i just started on. i think you should keep it and drop cafs.

yeah, drops CAFS. if 12units is too stressful, then you should consider dropping otherwise its going to effect you performance in other subjects. from what ive heard, i think you'd be better off dropping CAFS. good luck!

the isp your talking about? i am SO LOST with the current topic were doing. and i dont think 12 units is a lot. im doing 11 at the moment and my 11th unit is history extention, but i still find that im coping. probably because of the fact that we barely done anything in class yet, but the major work is pretty frustrating as it consists of A LOT of reading, so it makes it seem like a 2unit subject.. i wouldn't mind doing 13 units though if i was allowed to pick up ancient history. but then i wouldnt drop maths lol

12 units isn't that much, I do 11 units with 3 extensions and I'm coping quite fine.

What do you better in? which one do you like more? think about these questions

isp for sor2 only makes up for like 10% of your total assessments. IMO i dont reckon its that much work but thats just an assumption as i havent started on it yet lol.

don't do SOR, it will ruin your life (not to mention your afterlife). it's just so unchristian.

Too much Catholicism among other things.
Btw Catholicism does not equal christianity

yeah i use to believe that christians n catholics were completely different..........but then our SOR teacher kept on explaining to the whole class that they r both exactly the same thing (btw my teacher is a christian).

Everyone's different, and cope differently with different things.
Wow, I just used "different" three times in one sentence.

I feel proud.

.ben, are you Christian?

You can drop a subject th eday be4 u have to sit the exam but CAFS is a great subject to keep.

That's true, you can basically drop it anytime during the year, quite flexible really, just a waste of time and effort if you decide to finally drop it around the exam period.

some catholics are true christians and some arn't. and yes to bananasoomthy

yeah, whether you find 12units stressful or not is completely subjective. so if you do feel that it's too much, drop one.
when deciding, keep in mind what you enjoy more and what you're going better at.

up until today I was doing 12units and just drop to 11 becuase i hated it-that-cannot-be-named. despite everyone telling me that it scales...i dont care. as long as i do well in all my other subjects (which scale good) then i think i'll get a better UAI. that's my opinion. so just think about it and make sure you have no regrets after dropping whatever you end up dropping!

good luck!
