help!!!! advice for subject selection

so I'm currently choosing my subjects for year 11 and i was wonder peoples opinions on them and if they could offer any advice these are my current subject list:
i was also wondering how hard/content heavy people find these subjects

  psych
  legal
  English
  bio/health and human development?? (cant decide)
  Sociology
  Math(general) / global politics 3/4 (cant decide which one to choose I feel like it would be a great idea to to do a 3/4 subject early and I'm interested in global politics but lots of people tell me its a good idea to do Math's and it might help in the course I'm interested in and is a good base but I have also never been especially good at it and I'm worried I could do badly )

any advice would be greatly appreciated thx  :)

Hi Ruby, welcome to AN!
Is there a way you could do both maths and an early 3/4? Many people  at my school (selective school so somewhat strong cohort) regret picking glo pol for early 3/4 as it has many skills better suited for learning for over two years. I also highly recommend choosing a math if it gets you into a course you're interested in, as not choosing math can close many doors for you (although this is subjective). With you not being good at math, since math is a skill-based subject, practice is key and you have two years to put in the hard work and reap some rewards!
If you do pick Bio, I would HIGHLY recommend accelerating Biology early, as for many people it is content heavy and requires more attention.
Good luck!

You could potentially think about accelerating Psych since I heard the 1/2 content is rather irrelevant except for Research Methods and 3/4 is very content heavy but fun.

That way, you can do English, Legal, Sociology, Bio or HHD and try General Maths for 1/2 and see whether you like General. If not, then you can swtich to 3/4 Global in Year 12.
