so.. which one do you guys think is easier? xDThis may vary between people, but the general consensus is that English is easier, and the main population do it - English Language is difficult in that it's quite complex, like learning another language (linguistics). Literature is also difficult in that it explores much more deep, complex ideas than English. I'm trying EL next year - if it is not enjoyable, I'll go to English. Lit would be interesting too, but I would prefer to do the 1/2 if I was to do the 3/4.
haha
^ Yep, English Language is more suited to Sciencey students or people who aren't as good at Essays.Nope, that's not right - apparently EL is for people who are strong at English and are very intellectually capable... and remember, you have to write essays too.

And English Language and Lit are definitely much more competitive than the English cohort - I heard that you go into the deep ideas in Lit, and that could be enjoyable; but probably ask someone who's done it, that's just what I heard from teachers.QuoteLiterature is also difficult in that it explores much more deep, complex ideas than English.Really? My impression of Lit is that it's based on close, critical analysis of text rather than "deep, complex", philosophical ideas.
i do english language >_> and it's definitely more suited to science students without question!Yeah, probably because they would be more "analytical" and "complex-thinking" but English Language is definitely not "the easy way out" for people who are relatively bad at English but enjoy the sciences, and it's more competitive too. It depends on what you're interested in, really - if Linguistics is your thing, try it out (the papers look quite... interesting) ;)
ha, and no i'm not strong at english at all, i dropped english because i have an inability to write an essay and i made the right decision with englang even if my poor english skills bring me slightly down.
you write one essay in the exam and unit 3 is a more factual, theory based humanities-type essay.

Generally, for a maths/science-orientated person, English Language is easier, as it focuses more on the mechanics of English and how they work - so very memorisation-based. Also, essay-writing does not take up as much of the course as does English, like 1/3 of the exam is short answer questions. Conversely, English is very much based on essay-writing and exploring subjective concepts rather than objective facts. Because of this, it can get very complicated, unlike EL (and a lot of the VCE science/maths subjects) where the info is provided for you.
can you do lit, english and english language simultaneously in vce?
can you do lit, english and english language simultaneously in vce?Yes, probably, but also depends on your school's timetabling.
7 subjects? Wut.
ummm.. 8039? LOL never called someone by number b4 hahahahIf you are set on doing 7 subjects, unless you have done any 3/4s in year 10 or before, I'd highly recommend going 2 in year 11, 5 in year 12.
ye, was that sarcasm? because i am still kinda reconsidering doing 2 3/4s cuz im still not sure,
sorry for the people who see this and like im going off topic, i noe.. sorrryy xD

Some people can actually handle that. Shocking isn't it?
If I could do VCE again then I would do 2 3/4 subjects in year 11. Was never offered the option though :(.

+ 1. This is like gold. It gives you money in the bank going into year 12, taking loads of pressure off.
hey vexx,
i noticed on your 2011 thing at the bottom says "repeat english language"? does that mean you think it is really hard? :S
can you do lit, english and english language simultaneously in vce?
yes but only 2 count in top four.
omg, i never knew english language was based on research? So it isnt just remebering words and analysing them? is it like history? i never knewww! D= i thought it was a little easier because people say it is a little bit sciencey and stuff. =S
Eng Lang:
-Will turn you into a grammar-conscious freak
english is easier because i cringe at the thought of having to learn shakespearean language
