This is just a question out of pure curiosity. But how does Japanese continuers scale?
I picked it because i did it last year for year 10, and I'm alright at it.

Also for those who do it, what's the best way to get better at listening? It seems to be what I am the worst at.

bad... but really depends on what level of atar you want to get. it's def not worth it for the amount of time you spend (esp for extension)

every day i regret choosing japanese in year 10 and not physics
i love it but my atar is doomed bc of it 😞
You should have done both. I found Japanese and Physics to be the easiest subjects in the HSC. Probably should have focused way more on English, though 😅

Really, I definitely found Chem more annoying. I can't make a poster to save my life, so I dropped it halfway through. I mostly taught myself Japanese starting in Year 9 just from watching anime, listening to podcasts, and making flashcards in my free time, so I didn't really study for the exams besides preparing some speaking responses. But Japanese Extension was also pretty annoying—it felt like another English unit instead of actually learning the language.

For Physics, I just watched YouTube to understand concepts and did some past papers. It didn't take up much time. Most of my actual study went toward 4U.

Dang, you’re definitely way smarter than me — I struggled on a lot of the harder 4U questions in the beginning. I didn’t find chem that hard, I just didn’t want to do it in assessments and found 4U more enjoyable. I didn’t start liking and getting math until Year 10, so I had to learn a lot of the fundamentals late. But it was definitely enjoyable in the end, and I found it really helped me with Physics. Mod 8 was a bit of a slog though
