I don't know what subjects to do other then Further, English and Legal Studies.
I need to choose two more subjects but I don't know what to choose.
My school offers very few subjects and I'm not interested or am worried I'll hate them as I've never done them before.
They offer:
Bio (already done it)
Business (boring I hate it)
Food Studies (never done it)
HHD (never done it)
Literature (did it in year 10 and struggled)
Media (never done it)
Physics (never done it)
Legal Studies (already gonna do it)
Psych (doing 1/2 and the teacher is completely retarded "for today's lesson we will watch Edrolo")
VisCom (did it in year 9 and didnt really like it)
Studio Arts (haven't done art since year
How did everyone else choose? Any advice would be awesome (because right now imma just be like fk it and do 4 subjects and get a shitty atar)
Choosing your subjects depends on a lot of factors that generally follow a loose priority:
1. Subjects you enjoy. This is a obvious one but subjects that are boring for you, like Business in your case, will be incrediblly hard to do well in as you simply won't have the drive to do well in it.
2. Subjects that either complement your other subjects and/or complement your learning style. Some subjects go hand in hand with and have overlapping content; particularly Physics and higher mathematics (spesh or methods, but not further maths) or even Systems Engineering. Secondly, some subjects are quite similar in the learning style that may click for you. For instance, maths, physics, computing, etc require more abstract and logical application whereas Biology, Business, etc is more memory based with a lot more content to remember but broader application.
3. Subjects that have good support at your school and as a whole. The unfortunate reality is that some subjects won't be taught as well as it can be or you hope it to be, you have already seen this with your Psych class. This is not always a problem though, it depends on how supported the subject is as a whole. Smaller VCE subjects have significantly less resources to utilise outside of class which makes you more teacher dependant. ie. Computing has one book that has very vague and sometimes contradictory explainations so if your computing teacher is bad, you will have a difficult time. Maths however has a huge amount of resources outside the class so if your maths teacher isn't so great, you can seek outside resouces fairly easily.
4. Subjects that are assessed in a format you are confident with. Every subject will have a different way of assessing the content. English will have essays, Lote will have orals, Maths will have multiple choose and short answer test papers, etc. This is a smaller thing to consider compared to the other three I have mentioned but its still important, if you aren't good at essays avoid essay heavy subjects (English, History, etc.). If you aren't good at orals, avoid oral heavy subjects (Lote, English, etc.).
What to avoid:1. Choosing subjects based on scaling. Generally speaking, the greater the scaling the more competitive the subject. This is not always the case but subjects like Chemistry and Specialist Maths are particularly hard because very high achievers the 99+ ATAR people are competiting in these subjects for better odds. In addition this, its just a bad idea to purely focus on scaling as at the end of the day, a few study score points from scaling pales compared to the many points you'll be losing if you choose a bad subject for you.
2. Choosing subjects that are generally considered the "easy" option: This is a little hard to recommend as these types of subjects are kinda hard to identify but i'll give an example. Further maths is "easy" if you have a solid grasp of mathematics, but the problem with this subject is because people of this mindset choose Further maths, it makes the top positions for the subject immensly hard to get. The margin for error is incrediblly high once you get upto the 45+ study score of Further maths. This is speaking from experience, I did Further Maths in my VCE and lost around 6 marks total on my SACS and got A+'s on my exams and ended up with a 43. In the higher levels a mark can cost a whole study score point. Im not sure if this is particular to further maths but its something to keep in mind. This is not an endorsement to deliberately choose methods or spesh to avoid this but if you have a solid grasp in a subject area, choose the hardest option as it has more room for error. Harder subjects in general have more breathing room so you don't have to stress about a mark here and there.
All this being said, it depends on your ATAR goal too. The hardest subjects are more fruitful, if only you are truely commited to them but as I said earlier, some subjects may be better for you depending on you personally.
This is a bit of a ramble but I hope it helps
