Hello
I have decided to drop physics unit 1 because I really do not understand electronics at all and my teacher sucks. I think have decided to pick up either accounting or psychology... But I don't know which one.
Could you please give me some advice? Has anyone done accounting or psychology in the past that has advice? Do the subjects require good english (i suck at English) E.g. Like the workload, content, if it's interesting/boring, etc.
I'm leaning more towards accounting, as I've heard that psychology units 1/2 is useless, but I don't know... I REALLY NEED ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO
Also I'm more of a maths/science person (I know it is ironic that I am dropping physics)
Thanks!!

doing accounting 3/4 this year. The workload is a lot less than methods/chem and the content is a bit easier to understand. For me it's quite fun but if you don't have any interest in a business related career then you might not like accounting.

I'm doing Psych 3/4 this year and I did Psych 1/2 last year. At the moment, I'm really enjoying Psych because the content is interesting and you can apply what you learn to yourself (which makes a lot of it easier to remember). If your more of a maths/science person I think you will enjoy Psych, especially 3/4 because you learn about the brain and memory.
Although Psych 1/2 isn't necessary for 3/4 I think it is helpful because you learn research methods, which is very important for 3/4.
The workload is pretty high because there is a lot of content that you have to know.
Having decent English skills is beneficial, however, if you work hard it shouldn't be much of a problem, especially because Psych now is more about applying your understanding to scenarios etc.
Hope this helps :)
