Title: will doing these vce subjects be difficult?
Post by: moxiemoxie on September 04, 2017, 05:01:05 pm

Would it be too difficult if i took bio, chem, health and human develop and pysch in vce? (I'm also doing maths methods and eng)
Apparently in the first year of uni we're taught two units of bio(?) Should I not do bio or pysch or should I do both?
Im not that strong in science im pre average i guess.

Hey moxiemoxie,

Welcome to ATAR Notes! :D

I reckon that's a great subject mix! You have a nice range of subjects IMO, and a lot of people will go with a similar mix.

Subject difficulty is entirely subjective and really difficult to indicate, though. Is a Bachelor of Science the goal after Year 12? If those are the subjects you're most interested in, I reckon you should go for it. :)

Bio and psychology complement eachother nicely. I wouldn't say that it would be difficult to do them together, just make sure that you're interested in the content taught in both :)

There's a little bit of overlap there with HHD, too. I think it's a great mix!

i'm doing both biology and psych this year and I really like both of them!! just like what was said before if you are interested in the content offered in both subjects there should be no issue with doing the both of them

the two bio units offered in first year uni are not likely to cover all of the vce biology content as there is a large range (photosynthesis, immunity, evolution etc)

your selection of subjects sounds good, keep up on your notes in the year and it should be fine :-))))
