Hello BoS, new here, but let's skip the introduction. I have some simple questions to be answered regarding Year 11 (and 12) subject choices.
I am planning on taking (in year 11):
Maths Ext. 1 (and 4-unit in year 12, I love maths and am very good at it)
French (and ext. in year 12, again, love it and am good)
Physics
Chemistry (I think I will drop this in year 12)
My questions regard English and History:
Do I take Ext. or Adv. in year 11? English is my weakest subject, but I think I can bring it up to the standard of my other subjects with enough effort.
Should I take Modern or Ancient History? I prefer the Modern course, but I like the Ancient teachers a lot more at my school. What do you think about these two courses?
Lastly, does anyone have any words of wisdom regarding year 11 study habits? I have cruised until now, maintaining a top 10 place in my year (at a quite good school) with next to no study. I want to play to my strengths (maths, French), but English is the elephant in the room that I will have to address sooner or later. I am aiming for a 99.8+, but I need to amp up my study habits in order to maximise what I believe to be a good potential.
I hope that you can answer my questions and provide some guidance on my subject selection and study habits as move into my preliminary HSC.
Thanks all
P.S. if there are other threads addressing the same issue, a link is perfect.
