It's your decision.

What does your instinct tell you?

the easier of the two- business studies
the one with greater scaling and is more interesting- legal studies

take your pick

I do eco, and i find it more interesting than the other two.

In order to go into the hsc with 12 units, i need to drop either Legal or Business.

I like Business because it's easy
But want to keep Legal because it is supposed to get more interesting next year.

I might keep both and drop once yr 12 starts.

hmm, 14 units for years 12.

wish me luck!

I will be doing 15 Units and I don't mind it because I can always drop if I don't want to.

Good luck.

Do Business Studies, if you're sick of learning about Abos for 10 years of your schooling life.

You don't have to learn about abos, they make up a tiny portion of the family law topic, and you might make reference to circle sentencing once or twice in crime.

Both courses are similar so I'd say go with your marks, which has the best teacher and which has the best students.

At our school all the really academic kicks do legal studies (we get a few dropkicks) and we're 12% above the state average (which is amazing for a 182nd school) because we have the senior marker for the crime section as our teacher.

Alot of schools are shit at it though as its taught out of a textbook by some failed geography/history teacher. We went to a legal studies day and most of the other schools had no idea about the essays and topic areas and kept getting shut down for their answers by the lecturers.

Does that even make sense.
You have to learn about abo's in legal.

I'd rather keep Business Studies cause its much better than Legal. But in the end its really up to you.

of course you can do it, and most likely yes, you would have off line classes
