I happy with most of the subjects I chose (see below in my sig), I would only change Revs and Uni Philosophy. I'm not really a History person, only did it because a lot of year 11s in my school did it and the study scores in my school were good. Russian rev was pretty interesting but I didn't like French (the others aren't really appealing to me either). I mainly chose Uni Philosophy, because I liked Philosophy but my school doesn't let students complete more than 6 subjects at the school (it's a public school so they rely on government funding). Uni Philosophy 1st year subjects at Unimelb aren't very well taught or planned, VCE phil looks considerably better.
If I were to go back, I would do English, Chemistry, Methods, Spesh, Psychology, Economics and Philosophy. Algorithmics and Media look awesome and extremely applicable as well though. Even though the VCE maths content isn't exactly riveting, the work ethic you build up (if you want to do well) is pretty useful and skills in mathematical thinking are very applicable in scientific research, economics, philosophy, data science and stats (which is currently a big field). It also got me the scores. English still seems better than Literature, because I don't really like analysing plays, short stories and poems, and the texts on the Lit list doesn't really interest me. It's also easier to get a good study score in. I prefer English under the current curriculum though, because I prefer analysing texts as opposed to context. Context was just difficult to prepare for with the unpredictable prompts.
