extension count as subjects? (1 Viewer)

Do extension courses count as a subject?

Say for instance, I want to do Ext. 2 English and Ext. 2 Maths..
would ext. 1 count as a subject and ext. 2 count as another?

thank you

No.

The term courses and subjects are usually used interchangeably. But the extension courses do not count as another separate course (doing math extension 1 and math extension 2 counts as 2 separate courses but only 1 subject).

Off wikipedia:

Extension courses, each with a value of one unit, may be included in the study program, meaning that a certain subject area may have up to four units.

For your HSC you'd get a separate mark for each course as each has its own separate syllabus but they're not separate subjects

Err no they don't. They count as separate course not subjects. I.e. you can't do 4U English 4U Maths and Chem. You'd need a SOR or a Phys or anything else.

ive been under the impression that you could do both 4U's and one other subject, where EE2 counts as a subject, thereby giving you the required 4 subjects for the hsc

OP: ask a co ordinator at school or something. unless someone on the forum actually did a 4U + 4U + other subject combo for thier hsc, its just a bunch of people guessing.

nope u cant do 4u maths 4u english and another 2unit subject for the HSC and its not guessing. it specifically says u have to do more than THREE subjects.
