Hi guys,
as you can see, this year for year 12, im only going to do 4 subjects (i did methods and LOTE in year 11). So Im just wondering, what are the disadvantages of only having four subjects in year 12? (should i pick another one up?)
(at first i was ecstatic because there would be heaps of free time, and then i realise heaps of VCEers are doing 5+ subjects for year 12, even if they've completed 2 in year 11.. whys that?) :(
-
massive advantage is that u'll have a lot more time to focus on your subjects compared to others doing 5 or 6 and this increases ur chances of a better ss. its that 10% increment of the 5th and 6th subjects that tempt most people.
-
I only did 4 in yr 12 (1 shit score in yr 11, 1 shit score in yr 12) and I got 90+.
Ilovemathsmeth, jimmy999, hard all did 4 subjects and got 90+ (99, 99, 92)
You can definitely get 90+ with 4 subjects (high low depends on how hard you work)
-
it is very possible to get 90+ with only 4 subjects, but if your gunning for that 98-99 i'd say pick up one more subject if your methods or lote score were below 35.
-
i'm only doing 4
methods, english, physics chem.
I got two 44's for Revs and biol this year, and hopefully with my tonnes of spare time im hoping i can get a 45+ for english and then 40+'s for my other subjects with so much spare time to devote to them.
-
Lol I have to focus on being efficient as possible instead of relying on "tonnes of spare time"
-
efficiency is crucial, relying on spare time on the other hand...a tad iffy :P

LOL i had shit score in year 11 as well. LOTE.. god its too depressing to even mention (WORST MISTAKE IVE EVER MADE) but i did okay for methods (thank god for scaling), and im expecting a really low score in Chemistry, so yeah like you one shit score in year eleven and HOPEFULLY only one shit score for year 12 ^^
Im also "trying" to be more efficient and use my 'tonnes of spare time' wisely. last year i wasted all my frees = =''
Well i guess we learn from experience.
hehe i feel abit better now seeing people with 4 subjects and getting 90+ :D thanks guys
-
haha gdluck :)

Me too. I think you'll have even more work compared to 6 'normal' subjects with your LOTE.
-
I don't see any disadvantages of doing 4 subjects. If you're aiming for 99+, it shouldn't be too much of a problem - you just need to ace all four of them (which is achievable because you have heaps of time) or you should have aced your subjects from last year.

If you're willing to PM me your score i'll tell show you my scores, you'll be surprised lol
-
4 subjects seems ideal. :(
-
lol how bad can it possibly be gerry?
-
i reckon if your aiming for 90+, and you've already done two 3/4's. doing only four in year 12 is a good idea.
focus on them aiming for 40+ in all& study hard and you will be garenteed a 90+ :)

^^ coudnt have put it better.

ahahahah, trust me you cant be worst than mine (especially cause i speak this language at home > .> how sad). sigh, got 32 for LOTE T. T (announcing this embarrassment publicly will give me motivation for this year)
howd u go?
thats why i was kinda worried, i needed a backup for my lote > . >
but now i know what to do.. study like theres no tmr for these four subjects!

how come you're doing 7 subjects? i thought only four was uber important, and two for 10% increments..
but man, you're doing 6 subjects this year? thats heavy! i wish i could do that, but i would definitely struggle.. thanks to my fabulous time management skills.
-
I wasn't originally planning to do Uni Maths, and I could drop Physics, but I've just gotten too attached to all these subjects =/.
-
you've already done 2 3/4 units...if im reading correctly that is..so youll have 6 all up anyway...i wouldnt worry too much if i were you.
On the other hand if i read wrong and at the end of your VCE you will only have four 3/4 units, then i guess its a trade off. With 4 subjects you get a lot more time to focus on work and try achieve a higher score in those, however with 5 or 6 subjects you have more leeway to screw up one or two even, so theres that extra guarantee there. Plus the 10% increments are maybe just what you need to push you over the line to getting in a course in some cases.
I knew a person who missed out by .05 .
-
If you only have 5 subjects you may as well just take an extra one for the +10% increment. If you don't think you can handle it, just don't spend any time on it and wing it, even if you get 20-30, +2 or 3 on your aggregate is still better than nothing (that said, 5 subjects is not a big deal, most people do 5). On the other hand, if you already have 2 in year 11, I don't see the point in taking 5 in year 12.

You beat mine by 10+ points heh. This just shows you, it's possible to get shocking scores and still pull a 90.

32 isn't that bad, it will still scale up to 40ish
