[alooce]

hey guysss can someone pls review my subjects for yr 11, i feel like i have the default student subjects. Im looking for a career in like medicine (gp, dentistry, vet) or if i dont get in then business (analyst)
they are:
eng ext 1
- i get like satisfactory marks in eng currently so im def dropping this in yr 12 but Im only doing extension so it can help with my advanced in yr 12 and also to help me fill in one more extra unit. I really dont want to do morning classes thooo. btw i have an english tutor
maths ext 1
- i get like pretty middish high marks in maths and if i work hard enough i def think i can do it. i have a maths tutor
bio
- ive already started tutoring for this so i think i wont be changing this choice
chem
-ive also started tutoring for this, need this for medicine def
business studies
- okok i was thinking either business studies or economics but i think i enjoy more small world things and less abstract info to apply. should i be doing tutoring for this tell me pls. i get like really ass marks in commerce tho but maybe i just need to work harder??

I play the cello and piano and i do music as an elective so i was thinking music for a back up subject but i feel like i cant balance practicing my instrument and studying for 2 sciences effectively. i also get mid ass marks in music sooo

total is 12 units cuz i think if u do 13 you get 2 less free periods?? idk but i want as much studying time as possible to maximise the marks

someone help me pls im so lost and my subjects are literally due in like 4 days

I think in yr 12 they might do an imaginary life. I did it in yr 11 so if u need help I can maybe help. But if u really want to then ask ur teachers what they study next year

I can’t pick between bio or chem
(I’d do both to see which one I prefer but sounds like my school won’t let me do 14 units)

Wait which subjects are u picking. Honestly if ur good at chem then pick it cause yr 11 bio can kinda be boring cause it’s all the boring animals stuff like stupid periwinkles.

In my opinion
bio easier but more boring
chem harder but more interesting
but u can see which one I dropped

But is bio also has a lot of content. But yr 12 bio seems more interesting

Hey guys!!
I'm also 2027 grad year and i was getting opinions on my subject selection (these are only for year 11)
Also for reference, I'm looking into a career in either law or medicine

If I stay at my current school:
English Adv, Maths Ext 1, Maths Adv, Economics, Chemistry
Studies Of Religion 1
Legal Studies OR Bio (NOT SURE YET)

If I move to James Ruse:
English Adv, Maths Ext 1, Maths Adv, Economics, Chemistry
Drama
Legal Studies OR Bio

If I move to North Sydney Girls:
English Adv, Maths Ext 1, Maths Adv, Economics, Chemistry
Biology
Food Technology OR Health and Movement Science

For reference, my year 12 subjects will be:
English Adv
Maths Ext 1
Maths Ext 2
Economics
Chemistry

why does it change if u change schools

normally, your teachers will choose a book from a really long list of nesa approved ones, but in eng advanced you do a common module with standard which is your first term, then you move into adv. and stand. courses. In advanced, you normally do Shakespeare and an accompanying film that reflects the shakespearean book you study, for this you will most likely be given a comparison exam, or an exam with two parts to evaluate both texts. In between and after, you'll have 'smaller' tasks like short answer comprehension, and creative writing. You may learn how to write a discursive but that is more year 12 stuff.
hope this helps-
Idk this is how schools around me do it-

I'm actually doing both at the moment as well! Bio is kinda tricky cause i think they've changed the marking criteria for longer answers meaning that if you leave out a subject specific terminology once, you get marked down. Plus i feel like my school just taught it really poorly, especially on how to answer the longer answered questions.
For Chemistry- honestly i feel it depends on the teacher but i've gotten an awesome one so i can't really complain- however Kat.crazi is right, it is trickier, especially if you don't get module 2 (i don't please send prayers) because most of the mods after that rely on it, but mod 2 isn't that hard to understand you kinda just need lots of practice like math.
I love chem and I love bio, though at the current moment i like chem wayyyy more because i feel like it actually deepens my understanding of a lot of things in life, which sounds really deep but it just explains the unexplained to me i guess. Bio is interesting though i'm waiting for us to pass the animals and plants part and get to humans because i CANNOT WAITTTTT for us to get to genetics and diseases.

Honestly, it depends on what you find more interesting, your school should let you do 14 units, i did and i know many people who have 15 units at mine.
I say go for both!

Business is waaaaay easier than eco so i've heard-
plus apparently from older years i've heard it's easier to band 6 so i'd say go for that. And for tutoring if you have an English tutor you don't really need it cause it's pretty straight forward, you just need to really know subject specific things as teachers will look for this because they know the subject is straight forwards so they kinda wanna see if you know more than the average person- if that makes sense.

Honestly i did music and had 14 units, but i dropped it and went to 12 units because of the fact that i didn't actually have any study periods at all- and it is quite a bit to balance. However, if you still have study periods in total, it should be ok but genuinely study periods are a GIFT FROM GODDDDDDDD. so like yeah- if you're getting 'mid' marks in music then don't push yourself to go for it, especially if you wanna drop it for year 12 because you seem like you need the other subjects a lot-

hope this helppssssssss
