16? Didn't you think that it would be a bit too much?

 

[vizman]

16 units = thats just so hectic

 

[pLuvia]

Why would you want to do 16 units in year 11? it's a hell of a work load

 

[Wooz]

My year advisor told me to pick up as many subjects as i could during yr 11 and then drop atleast 2 units. I was going to drop atleast 2 units in the fisrst few weeks of school anyway. But now i've changed schools and can only do a maximum of 12 units.

hmm why did u change schools? and what school did u go to before?

My old school Richmond High is the worst school in the hawkesbury district and cane 2nd last out of two districts(18 schools) and only 1 person got over 90 out of 350 or so exams sat and the highest UAI was in the 80's and the average uai was in th 60's to low 70's. I applied for penrith high(selective) and i got in. But im scared, that i'll get crap rankings and find it difficult to catch up. Do u think i should of stayed at my old school were i was ranked 1st for all of my subjects except for maths.

If you are prepared to put the effort in and do extremely well during years 11 and 12 then you can gain the ranks that you had at your old school. And even if you don't gain the ranks that you had at your old school, performance at a selective school is usually better than other schools so if you can get into the top ranks, then you should be able to come off with a nice UAI.

High ranking in a crap school vs. High ranking in a selective. Which is better?

Ok ok you might say that you'd be all behind and stuff, but hey, if you do put in effort, you're not gonna get a bad ranking in the end You've got in, haven't you? That means you'd do fine in there, or else why would they accept you?

 

[googled]

Yeah, 14 units is going to be a lot of work, and I intend on getting rid of 2 units if things are too much, and perhaps loosing another 2 at the start of year 12. It's hard though because I think I will enjoy most of them

 

[thecan]

13U (prelim)

2U English (adv)
3U Maths
2U Chemistry
2U Physics

the plan at this stage is to drop Geography in year 12 and go with 11 Units, although thats just the plan, who knows what will happen throughout the year to change my mind.
