I didn't choose any social sciences, though I did commerce in year 9/10 and hated it 0.0
lol i'm the total opposite. our school offers two electives for both yrs 9 and 10 and it offers one elective for just yr 9. i took commerce as my yr 9 elective and actually enjoyed it but i couldn't continue in yr 10 because there wasn't enough spaces in the other classes :hammer: now i'm just hoping that business studies and economics will be sort of similar to commerce :)

Not exactly - commerce offered a broad idea of business studies, economics and legal studies. Since you chose the former two, it will be a more in-depth study of those subjects.

haha same here!! i really hated the theory part though i enjoyed composing
Haha, yeah I think would've been good at performing since I do piano, but I suck at composing and musicology is basically the history of music which would pretty much bore the crap out of me.

i do piano as well! although compared to my other classmates i'm not as good (some ppl have their amus and lmus already). i'm don't suck too badly at musicology but then it's because i was forced to do theory exams :lol: i do find it really boring though and i will never do another theory exam again

8 years as well! I'm currently doing 7th grade, but the only thing I'm wondering is whether I should do 8th grade before year 12 if I'm allowed to.

I just hope that everyone e thoroughly enjoys the subjects they have picked and if not, can change them before year 12!
I realise now that I'll only be doing, essentially, four subjects in year 12 and I don't know of that's good or bad.

Yeah it is c: Although in my case, we did have a teacher present. Just not very often haha. Besides, it's also hard, because the supervising teacher may not want to make any big decisions e.g in my class, half the time, most of the class didn't get the notification for a test, and we were informed maybe 3-5 days before the test that there was a test, meaning that half of us wanted extentions etc but the supervising teacher couldn't make the decision - she had to contact the main teacher who wasn't really contactable etc. so meh.
It's nice that you have an exchange student in your school :) Wow, your school let's them teach though? Students from my old, old school used to just pester them to make origamis for us haha xD But then again we were like 8? back then lol :p
Yeah I can see that being a pain. That is part of the reason I scrapped the idea of taking Japanese Continuers, I'd find hard to do distance ed. We've had quite a few exchange students over the years actually, they've all been our age or close to it as well :) He doesn't teach as such, but walks around and helps everybody. And he did teach us all origami for our last lesson haha :)

Because there are time constraints in the timetable for the AMEB apparently - I do want to finish 8th grade in year 11, but I'm worried that if I can't, it would mean I might do it in year 12 which could be a struggle for me in terms of time management.

Well, in that case you should be OK as you have 11 units.

Agree 100% with this^
TRY not to drop advanced but, do so if you know that you are not capable of succeeding in advanced. The biggest mistake is to persist: by doing a subject which you know you won't succeed in (IMO).
