Title: if you could do VCE again....
Post by: vcaa on February 25, 2010, 04:39:34 pm
if you could go back in time and do VCE again what would you have done differently?
Title: Re: if you could do VCE again....
Post by: IntoTheNewWorld on February 25, 2010, 04:50:30 pm
I would've done Psych or BM instead of Chem or gotten a Chem tutor.

i would have kept my subjects the same but would have tried to be consistent with study, also may not have bothered so much with having tutors
apart from that, maybe pressure my school to let me do 2 3/4 subs in yr 11

Drop methods.
Title: Re: if you could do VCE again....
Post by: TrueTears on February 25, 2010, 05:29:27 pm
I would have done different subjects:

Methods, Spesh, Further, Uni Maths, English, Chinese

no physics coz its broken

no chem coz its gay

no music coz its biased

I would hire TrueTears as my tutor :P and do specialist maths instead of Further and Chemistry instead of Business Management.
Title: Re: if you could do VCE again....
Post by: Studyinghard on February 25, 2010, 05:34:28 pm
Would have done further in yr 11 aswell.

I would change all most of my subjects

English -> English
Legal -> Legal
Chem -> National Politics
Methods -> Further
Indo -> Biology
and in yr 11 I would want to do Business Management
Title: Re: if you could do VCE again....
Post by: mandy on February 25, 2010, 06:02:49 pm
Tried that little bit harder in Biology.
Title: Re: if you could do VCE again....
Post by: Gloamglozer on February 25, 2010, 06:27:47 pm
I would have done a humanities subject (most likely accounting) instead of physics.
Title: Re: if you could do VCE again....
Post by: monokekie on February 25, 2010, 06:31:37 pm
i wud have picked furthur instead of spesh,

picked biology instead of accounting
Title: Re: if you could do VCE again....
Post by: GerrySly on February 25, 2010, 06:35:35 pm
Would've done methods in yr 11, dropped french and did accounting. Got a tutor for English as well
Title: Re: if you could do VCE again....
Post by: ninwa on February 25, 2010, 07:00:25 pm
done really really badly on purpose so that the only course I could get into was music/arts because then my parents have no choice but to let me do it :D

or dropped business management/biology for psychology or music styles or national politics or philosophy
Title: Re: if you could do VCE again....
Post by: chocolate05 on February 25, 2010, 07:40:08 pm
do further in year 10.
in year12 instead of doing lit, take up accounting
Title: Re: if you could do VCE again....
Post by: akira88 on February 25, 2010, 07:45:44 pm
Not to have done literature but psych last year, and to not underestimate the competition of VCE :P
Title: Re: if you could do VCE again....

nah kidding, i would've dropped methods, not dropped french, and done another subject like psych or outdoor education.
Title: Re: if you could do VCE again....
Post by: d0minicz on February 25, 2010, 09:58:45 pm
studied for biology
Title: Re: if you could do VCE again....
Post by: QuantumJG on February 25, 2010, 10:14:44 pm
I would have done year 12 biology in year 11 and swap English for English language and get a tutor for it.

not many people use the 'search' function
Title: Re: if you could do VCE again....
Post by: darkphoenix on February 25, 2010, 10:37:47 pm
Put more effort into Accounting or dropped it and do methods or chinese in year 11.
Title: Re: if you could do VCE again....
Post by: m@tty on February 25, 2010, 10:40:19 pm
Put more effort in throughout year 12 :(

:P


Probably do English Language, and another few subjects starting in year 10, like 2 in year 10, then 3 in year 11, then 5 in year 12, would've been cool as.
Title: Re: if you could do VCE again....
Post by: appianway on February 25, 2010, 10:42:16 pm
Yeah, I would've liked to have done a few subjects in year 10, but my school only lets people who do a LOTE which they speak fluently.
Title: Re: if you could do VCE again....
Post by: jimmy999 on February 25, 2010, 10:56:17 pm
I would've done English Language instead of English, (only reason didn't get to do this is because my school didn't offer English Language), would have done Uni maths and Physics (have to do year 12 physics in uni anyway)
Title: Re: if you could do VCE again....
Post by: Origin on March 18, 2010, 10:07:24 pm
Wouldn't have screwed my Japanese 3/4 last year, so I would have six subjects not five. Or rather, NOT do 3/4 Jap in year 11. So gay.

Would've maybe done Studio for a sixth subject. And actually hand something in for the subject, as I did not do last year.

I also would have liked to have done VET music, but hard to do if the school doesn't offer it.

I think English Language would be pretty cool, but I'm actually quite liking English despite not having done that great on the SAC.

What is the main difference between English Language and English anyway?

I think it's just a completely different subject lol, not just having a "main" difference.

Yeah there's no comparison as they are just so different, people ask me this at least 3 times a week ha.
English language is basically the study of language, how it is used to show identity, and so on, we also do quite a bit of the technical aspects such as morphology (formation of words, about parts of speech -adj/verbs/..), phonology (sound systems), etc.
English is (as you probs know) studying texts and writing essays about themes and characters....yeahhhhh

I quit facebook a year ago - never really gotten back to it much. Deactivated for around 360 days of the year so it doesn't take up my time anymore. BEST DECISION EVER.

I suppose... if you want to be isolated haha.

We had a debate last year "That technology has killed true communication" or something along the lines of that. To an extent, true.

I agree with that, technology is gay. MSN is gay, facebook is gay, myspace (was) gay, mobiles are gay. If I could chose to be born 50 years ago rather than 18 I would have.

I would have done Chinese in Year 11, as well as actually handwrite English essays. Including the exams, I think I only handwrote 10 or so in total last year whereas I've already handwritten 10 in this first term.

lol only handwrote 10 last year.  I don't even think i did 10 pieces of writing last year!

but yeah, i wish i did a lote.  could have done italian but didn't really want to do distance ed.
french or latin would have been good,  or even japanese or german.
i reckon i would like doing an asian language because it would be something completely out of this world, which i'd have never seen before, plus symbols are cool. :)

Would have done Biology instead of Physics. Regret is what happens when you pick scaling over interest.
