Class of 2020

[sbeccia]

Just wanted to know what everyone was doing )
Currently I am doing :
Bio 1/2 and general math 1/2
Next year I plan to do: chem 1/2, methods 1/2, accounting 1/2, eng lang 1/2
are these good??

I'll be doing these subjects unless I get a subject clash:

1. English
2. Methods (3/4)
3. Physics
4. Italian
5. Chemistry
6. History (20th century and then revs).

Honestly did not realise that this was a 1/2 subject. Is the intention to move on to Global Politics 3/4?

I'm currently unsure; I'm gonna see if I enjoy the Australian or the Global side of the subject more in the 1/2 and then I'll chose Australian Politics or Global Politics accordingly for the 3/4.

I'm concerned my school - MHS - has inadequately prepared me going into 1/2 German. We've pretty much been going over the same content for 18 months, our cohort is astonishingly weak (back at BHHS I would've struggled to place in the top 5, here I'm frankly clearly the strongest) and the median study score past 2 years is below 28. I'd like to do it but feel let down by the school curriculum. I love German and am going to Leverkusen at the end of the year on exchange.

Ughh that sucks...

German was offered at my school but everyone in the advanced class did Japanese,  I liked Jap and was fairly decent at it but I had to drop it due to a subject clash.

I imagine lots of people here can relate to the struggle of wanting to be extended bit bit feeling line you're really learning - I promise that things get better as you head into VCE and then (if that's what you choose) uni

Do you find that you have been able to extend yourself in your own time? 

When/how did you start planning exchange?

Nice one! Sounds like a good plan.

I'm actually planning to do 7 VCE Subjects instead of 6, and I honestly don't know how I'll go.....
But anyways, I've chosen:
English 1/2
Chem 1/2
Physics 1/2
Methods 1/2
Spesh 1/2
Accounting 3/4
Chinese 3/4 (outside of school)
How stuffed am I for next year?

[illuminae]

Oof, now I'm slightly worried about subjects for next year.

I'll be doing
- English 1/2
- Bio 1/2 (wish i did 1/2 this year tho )
- Chem 1/2
- Legal Studies 3/4
- General Maths 1/2 (was gonna do methods but y i k e s)
- LOTE but not sure if I should repeat 1/2 or continue to 3/4
- Psych 1/2 OR Physics 1/2 if I end up hating psych

good luck y'all!

Spesh wasn't offered at my school,  but aside from that your subjects are fairly similar. 

The stereotyping makes it seem more difficult than it actually is,  you'll be alright

Nothing to worry about on the assumption you've considered pre-reqs, and are otherwise going for the subjects that sound most interesting to you.

P.S. Welcome to ATAR Notes! Great to have you here - looking forward to reading more of your posts.

Afterthought: I did Methods 1/2, and then Further 3/4. Perhaps this could be an option for you if you kinda want to try Methods?

What LOTE are you doing?

[Joseph41]

Random thought: if y'all are moving into VCE next year, you might be interested in the thread below. Make sure to ask any questions if you have them!

How VCE Works.

Only one more week until holidays! How are you all feeling?

How close/far away does next year feel?

[tomatosauce]

The holidays are close... mixed feelings cos i kind of need the break - but i won't be getting anything of the sort because we're moving house... so hopefully there is some time to think about other things?!

Next year still feels a fair way away... but really close at the same time! the trouble with my subject selection isn't cleared up yet... so I still don't know whats going to happen about that... a little bit of stress about that - otherwise i am really excited about it!

Thanks! Hopefully I'll survive next year

I got my subjects for next year today. I’m doing Eng. Language, Methods, Indo, History, P.E. and Psych. Psych was my reserve subject as Music clashes with another subject. I’m kind of glad because I don’t think I could commit to practicing as much as is expected. The buzz for next year is starting to build up, despite exams in a couple of weeks.

What do you reckon your favourite subject will be?
