If you could go back and choose your VCE subjects again...

[-elcee]

What would you choose ?

My subjects ; Bio, Chem, Methods, English, Literature, Psychology
I think I would have picked up Accounting instead of Literature; just to extend my horizons and have a bit of insight into commerce.

Not sure if this thread has ever been posted but sorry if it has !

I have done/am doing: psychology, biology, English, outdoor ed, environmental science, further.

I wish I could also do chemistry and legal. The only ones I would drop are English and math though (and I need them for uni unfortunately)

[clarke54321]

I wish I'd never done math subjects. Not sure what I was thinking........

In hindsight I should have done English Language, Psychology or Business Managment.

I wish I didn't do spesh. I like all my other subjects though.
If I could pick my subjects again, I would have liked to do at least one humanities/commerce subject, such as economics, legal or accounting. It would've really made my VCE feel a lot more balanced instead of just a combo of maths, science and english.

I wish I’d done Australian History tbh and spesh

[sweetiepi]

and spesh

I did spesh, but I wished that I continued with psych. Worst mistake I've ever made.
 
I would have also chosen Revs or Geo as well

I would've done another language alongside Indonesian last year. (maybe my (sort of) native language Chinese, or Japanese which I have studied for quite a while) Scalings aside I feel that it would benefit me more and I enjoy learning about foreign languages/culture anyways.
I would also drop chemistry (don't need it in uni anyways) and replace it with a business/commerce subject, which is probably more relevant to what I REALLY want to do in uni/at work.

I have soooo many regrets with my VCE subjects lol. If I had the chance to choose again, it would've went something like this:

Year 11: Revs, Food Tech 3/4
Year 12: Eng Lang, Studio Arts, Methods, Bio

[TooLazy]

I would have spared myself from pain and misery by not doing chem

I wish I had chosen English instead of Literature. Although Literature was interesting, the teacher could have been better and she encouraged us to write on a new, difficult text that we all did badly on which meant none of us did well.

I wish I was allowed to do a 3/4 in year 11. Being able to do a uni extension subject would have been cool as well.

[plsbegentle]

drop accounting for uni bio uni extension (school doesn't have this), biology is still my favourite subject and I've dearly missed it in my life this year

I wish I was allowed to do a 3/4 in year 11. Being able to do a uni extension subject would have been cool as well.

same here, wish i could do 3/4 in yr11, and wish i didnt drop the uni subject in yr12

I wouldn't change a thing! I chose my subjects according to what I loved, not what other people think are the 'smart' subjects. A lot of people expected me to choose methods and I ended up not doing any maths at all! I have enjoyed all of my subjects and have no regrets!

Choose what you are passionate about and what will help you with your dream course/occupation

I wish I stuck with further for 1/2 in yr 11. It was an extremely unwise choice picking methods up for the unit 2 part. It also sucks that I was placed in that situation because the school messed up my subject selection.

Story time: So I had to do further unit 1, while studying myself on methods unit 1 at the same time and do both the exams (I need to score high in both as well). I then was placed in methods unit 2 and just barely passed the SACs (except one where I got ~65%). I then bombed my exams (I failed both of them).

End result: My stress levels reached an all-time high, I have never cried more in my entire life, I was left in a dark mental place, a toxic mindset around teachers, maths and my school.
