Okay. I've received the lines a few days ago. I got 5 out of 6 of the subjects I originally wanted. I'm left with line 4. I don't know what to choose. Options are:
IPT
PDHPE
Food technology
Business Studies
VET Hospitality
Video Production
Sport, Life, Recreation

Which one should I choose? I already have 4 demanding subjects plus english. I want an easy going subject. Food technology is predicted to not go on. What should I pick? Any opinions?
my god thats a bad line!!
id go with PDHPE

I'd go with that except it apparently is a demanding subject. Rumours are there are 5 essays a week. LOL. I think they are only rumours but who knows? Anyways my subjects from that line were.
Preference 1: Food tech
2: IPT
3: Ancient History.

At schools that have 'lines' (like my own) the subjects that usually clash are sciences and humanities.... or a lot of the lower scaling subjects... try to avoid choosing a mix of sciences and humanities... they will almost always clash and you'll be disappointed (but then again, no harm in trying).

I would choose business studies or IPT-- but of your choices, that is so dodgy! What the hell are half of those subjects anyway?

Vet courses and category C subjects that don't count to the HSC so it's pointless.

I highly recommend IPT.

My school doesn't have lines or anything. Pick whichever subjects you want and you know you'll get them, but we don't have many subjects to choose.

ALL subjects count towards your HSC, however only Category A and ONE Category B (VET courses) can contribute towards your ATAR/UAI

If you want a VET course to count towards your ATAR you elect to sit an external examination as part of your HSC and, if it is one of your best 10 units, it will count towards your ATAR

So in summary, if u want an ATAR only do ONE vet course :D

We have conditions. Like science subjects and math don't have a minimum. Some need at least 10 and some need at least 15.

Just like my school. If only they had modern history in a different line.
