i know with subjects like further, you need 100%'s on nearly everything to get a 50, and with spesh you have to study your brains out for days on end to get 45+, and i know that in legal, you need to be studying pretty hard as well to get 50's because theres lots of room for error etc.
Incorrect, if you're studying your brains out for days on end, you're either not studying in a correct manner or you're just not suited to the subject.
i was wondering what the competition is like for these subjects
- international studies
- history: renaissance italy
- classical studies
- philosophy
and also a little bit about what the subject consists of, and what you need to know on exams/sacs. Thanks !
It depends on whether you're suited towards those subjects. If you asked me, I'd say I'd find classics pretty tough cause I don't have much interest in that area, but if you ask EZ, he might say that it's quite decent. There's no "hard" or "easy" subjects, there are just your strengths and weaknesses, choose subjects that you think you're good at and have a good interest in, that's the advice I would give.
Competition is pretty similar for all subjects, there are very few subjects that have insane competition, like further.
I'd say go on the VCAA website and read their documents. The study design is a bit much, but look at the Study Summary
