If you could do the HSC again, which subjects would you change? (1 Viewer)

If you could do the HSC again which subjects would you change and why?

I do
Adv English
Maths
Chem
CAFS
S & C

I would change CAFS and S and C ( esp Cafs) because they are not straight forward subjects and they require a lot of waffling which gets boring after a while. In CAFS I am so sick of having to write heaps and heaps of crap that I already know and it is basically just common knowlege that you have to apply certain concepts to. And it takes so much time for the PIP and IRP. I wish I picked Bio and physics and 3u maths instead. They are straight forward subjects and require the type of thinking i enjoy more.

 

[hipsta_jess]

i did
Adv Eng
Gen Maths (2u in yr 11)
physics (yr 11 only)
chem
ipt
business studies

if i could pick again (ignoring lines) i would do
Adv Eng
Gen Maths (for the whole time)
Bio
Mod. History
IPT
Business Studies

..i think..

so one minute you're whinging that you dont get enough time to study, and in the next breath your saying you'd pick harder subjects that require oodles and oodles more study?
hmm.

 

[Calculon]

I would dump religion

 

[bluesky100]

I did(in yr12) Further math (???NSW equivalent), Health & Human Development, Psychology, Biology, PE, and of course Eng.

I was going to do yr11 chem but changed my mind at the 'last minute'. Not b/c I struggled in yr10 chem, guess I thought yr11 would be so much more difficult + the perception that PE would be easier. Certainly doing chem would have helped me with what I'm doing at the moment.

 

[~dEjA vOuX~]

I do

3u english
3u maths
modern
economics
history extension

I just dropped chem, but I wish instead of doing chem I had chosen bio or legal studies.

 

[eviltama]

I did

legal studies
chem
french cont.
maths 2u
adv eng

i would change and do
adv eng + 3u ext + 4u ext
and i'd drop chem and pick up IPT

 

[KarmaKitten]

I would have done Ancient history instead of art which I dropped at the end of year 11

 

[Mike iE]

I would have liked to have done music and either food tech or hospitality as intrest subjects. Physics instead of Chem.

 

[suz]

In year 12 I did
1 unit sor, english advanced, general maths, legal, pe, greek and italian.

If I got to choose again ignoring lines I would have done
1 unit sor, eng adv, gen maths, legal, italian, economics and modern history

 

[teh winnar!]

EYAR I WOULD DO FOUR MATH FOUR ENG TWO ANCIENT AND NOTHING ELSE EVAR!!!!!111111!!!!!

 

[ToO LaZy ^*]

i'll dump SOR1 and do catholic studies instead..only coz religion is compulsory.

 

[glitter burns]

Mm. I dunno if I'd change my subjects. I did
Std English (Dropped from Advance cos I didn't like the teacher)
M History
A History
S & C
Vis Art

I spose I'd have stuck with Advanced English, because I did really well at Standard and I think my UAI would have been better if I'd done advanced.

 

[nessie_lee]

I'm doing ancient history, adv eng, gen maths (did 2u in year 11), society and culture, and community and family studies, and i did modern history in year 11. If i could change it, i would have dropped ancient history instead of modern, did legal studies instead of cfs, and probably stuck at 2u maths a bit longer, could have done better if i tried harder!

 

[Blackalicious]

I now do

Extension 2 English
Extension 1 Maths
Chemistry
Physics

i'd swap Physics for Legal studies

You are right. I suppose I would just like to do them...you know, enjoy them more. Chem does require a lot of study so probably the other sciences would too. These subjects are probably suitable for my situation.

I wish I was doing my HSC at TAFE though, cos I am sick of the school environment.

 

[ameh]

I will be doing in yr12:

4u english
3u maths
modern
economics
history extension

I would have dropped legal in yr11 and switched to chem or visual arts!

 

[Trigger189]

i wouldve liked to do geography and maybe biology.. but im pretty happy with my courses.. doing mostly humanities courses

 

[Xayma]

I wouldnt drop any, but I might have changed schools (for various reasons)

 

[Sarah168]

well, if i were to ignore the line problems then i would have replaced yr 11 Biz (which i dropped anyway) with legal...other than that, i wouldnt change a thing
