not really.....the way i c it, general's shit easy (like a 1 on a scale on 1-10), 2u's heaps harder than that (like a 5)...n 3u's heaps harder again (a 7), then 4u's the hardest (10)
so we need something between general n 2u (if it was them 2 on a scale, it'd b like 1 or 2 vs. 7 or 8)
No, what we need is 5u maths, now that would be fun :p

legal studies and ancient can both be shitty, granted, but i'm thinking i'm going to pick ancient over legal purely because atm legal is making me want to stab out my eyes with a fork

I am actually repeating the HSC due to a slight miscalculation last year ... since I didn't want to do an extra year of year 11 I had to stick to what I did last year (minus one unit for easier load ... and they didn't allow me to do it)

[2003]
2u English Advanced
2u Mathematics
2u Biology
2u Modern History
2u Economics
1u Extension History

2u Chemistry ==== dropped
1u Mathematics Extension 1 ==== dropped

Should've dropped economics in year 11 and did something else, like a computing course, dull but nowhere as bad economics for me ...

if i could go bak.. i think i woulda dropped music sooner and done something like economics.
If you had've done ecos you would've been doing the same subjects as me in prelim:p ... except for accelerated chem - I wish I did that though... or acc. bio (if thats possible) and just forget about the prelim course - anything to allow me to do philosophy:D

Anyway I did:
3U maths
Adv. eng
ecos
bio
phys
chem

I would've liked to have done:
3U maths
3U english
ecos=>accelerated (or any other subjects:p )
bio
chem
phys
philosophy DC --> HSC

...but seeing as the past can't be changed I will continue with my current subjects:rolleyes:

EDIT: Babydoll and Calculon have almost the same avatars and sigs ---> its really disconcerting

hey! >.< chemistry's cool! ...
anyway, i do English(standard), maths 3u, jap 3u, chemistry and economics.
i would never never never have chosen economics if i knew what it was like in the first place. Probably something like biology would be better.

I would have done something else besides Maths. Due to my lines it would have had to have been something distance ed.

I would not have done Software design, don't know what I would have done instead, hate the line.

And I would have not picked IPT, but again nothing good on the line.

And by the way, I would have done extension history
