I'd recommend not doing more than 3 extension units in the HSC... I did 4 and it nearly killed me

I did:

Ancient and Extension History
Extension 2 English
Extension German
Studies of Religion I

It was fun, but, as I said, the workload was way too much!

I recommend to do what you enjoy, and as long as you're reasonably capable and actually study, the marks will follow!

 

[jhakka]

I greatly reget choosing Ancient. It's too late to drop now, too.

If you're creative, English Extension 2 is the best choice you can ever make.

The bigger picture??

I'll give u a few reasons why economics is better than physics/chem/bio. Just hear me out for a sec plz.

1. Economics is EASIER (seriously.. no bias) than ANY science subject offered for the HSC course.
2. The topics/sections of the Year 11/Year 12 syllabus are more interrelated and correlate more with each other. i.e. if you understand a bit from other topics, you can deduce what happens due to supply/demand diagram + basic knowledge and therefore not sit in exam room like a random fk (the case with physics).
3. In economics the complexity of concepts are nothing compared to complexity of some bs concepts in physics. There are no bs mathematical calculations or confusingly phrased questions in Physics or Chemistry.
4. Economics is better scaled than Physics/Chem or if not the same. (check BOS scaling thing!!)
5. It is INTERESTING :O lol.. srsly.. im not bsing..

I hope none of you choose to do a science over a humanities subject!!

your line of argument is im too stupid 2 do physics or chem and i cant get marks for bulls*iting in those subjects that i have 2 do eco so i can bulls*it in them and get a few extra marks.
hmmm
INTERESTING... lol not from what i hear . i luv studing atomic, and nuclear physics that is so mad, and that is related to chem heeps.
u also stated that eco is inter-related, i think u have lost the plot kid, not only are the science subjects inter-related within each other they are inter-related with the other sciences and doin all 3 helps u understand concepts.
u no wot i hope u do a Bat of Eco and then marster in actuarial studies, fail the course cos yu are 2 stupid and cant add, then become a manager at Macz 4 the rest of yur life and ern 40k a year, also have a hex fee which takes u 40 years 2 pay

I Totally and undividedly agree with u! It is good 2 see that not everyone is fully promoting sciences!!

You dont necessarily have to be imaginative for Ee2. Good time managment and a flair for english and writing. Critical responses are good too.

 

[JamiL]

i no on this site is said standard and advanced english are scaled the same, no the common test is but the other paper isn, i asked my curiculum co-ordinator and he worked at the bos and told me it was a load of crock and (tryed to) explained it to me. its not as easy as it seem 2 be on this site

 

[toryn]

Well, JamiL, for your sake, I hope you're doing Standard.

Since this is one of those subject threads, let it now be said that anyone who claims that Art, Drama, Music, etc. are bludgy subjects has no idea what they're talking about (unless they handle strenuous amounts of 'creative' work with ease). It hasn't been said here yet, I'm just being pre-emptive.

Is pre-emptive a real word? I want a real English teacher...

 

[afta???]

you'll get a better teacher next or else ill b by ur side in yet another "petitioning a teacher away" thing our grade is famous for
as for the creative arts......i noe itz hard work even though i dont do it.....my friend stayed up so late last nite for her composition .....poor her

it scales higher than most

Please let me add French Continuers to that list as well. It doesn't scale, like...at all. Don't whack me with anything, you freaky French buffs out there, it's just a personal opinion.

 

[ameh]

extension history is the god, dont know about EE2 though...

 

[onigiri]

I choose chemistry over eco and business studies over physics.

 

[afta???]

I choose chemistry over eco and business studies over physics.

that looks quite alright to me but i dont get y u did business...i reckon it is useless compared to eco

 

[Kulazzi]

i guess more business oriented ppl would choose biz studoes, as mentioned somewhere b4, eco is more maths focussed, i am more biz oriented than maths so thats y i chose biz studies instead of eco, it really depends on what you aspire to be in the future and what ur goals are really

 

[afta???]

if u want to set up a business mayb biz would help
but for a person like me that believes setting up your own business in australia is the most risky thing to do.........choose eco

 

[onigiri]

that looks quite alright to me but i dont get y u did business...i reckon it is useless compared to eco

chem and eco was on the same line and so chem was my option no questions asked. business and physics were on a diff line... and cos i couldn't get eco i thought i would compensate my humanties subject with bus. i reckon my school should have put eco on another line cos if it were on the same line as bus i would have definately chose eco over it.

 

[afta???]

i think except for legal n geography (each one class) there were about two or three line with biz or eco..........
