Heyy, I'm trying to decide which subject to choose. I don't like either, i find them both boring.
Which one has the least workload? and which one can i score higher in and do better in ..
So which one: Health + Human Development or Business Management?
Thanks. :)

well since you dont like either, which one do you do better in?
if you wanna get a higher score it would be better to choose the subject your better at.
apparently bus man is fair easy and doesnt take that much effort to get a decent score.

There both on the same level based on how well I perform
So which one is easier to get a better SS ?

Could have more surprises in the P.E. exam next year as they are gonna implement a new study design (have seen these 'surprises' in BM which had a new study design this year). My bet is that next year the BM exam will be easy and with enough revision you can probably word for word each response as if it were a practice exam. Not too sure about P.E. but from my experience doing this year's new study design exams it might not reflect your revision time which could well be spent to get a 40+ in BM.
Go with BM

do health. both are scaled the same and health is way easier in terms of amount of content as. Also the A+ cut off is way lower for health

Seconded, but mainly because I personally like the idea of the subject.
Lesser workload, on the other hand, I reckon you'd find more so in BM.
Health and Business are similar in the sense that both are knowledge based, but I find the difference is in the way you have to synthesise that knowledge.
Health in my opinion, is more reading, understanding and then regurgitating facts. BM seems to offer more creative and application-based outlets to express your understanding. This is just in my opinion; I know for others it might seem reversed.
Also think about how your future life in general may, in whatever minute way, be affected by this choice of subject. If you plan on entering the healthcare sector of the workforce, HHD might prove more helpful than BM.
But if entering in on anything else, and if you really have no choice like you've said, then whatever knowledge you vaguely remember in future from Business might help you out more.
Just my two cents worth :)

I did business management this year. Its a subject you can do easily and get a respectful score, however its hard to do well in and is time consuming. I have heard health is just common sense and really quite simple, so long as you have a half decent memory. I would only go for business management if you have a keen interest in the area of business.

I didn't do Health, but my sister + friends did, and it seems very easy..so i would choose that one if I was in your case, plus, A+ cut off is low so I would take advantage of that.

Low A+ cutoff means the subject is harder to do well in.
From what I've seen, HHD is similar of biology but specifically focusing on epidemiology and how we deal with disease

It can also mean that most people who do the subject don't take it serious much. ( You might want to ask my sis for more info, I don't really know-she's nemolala)
-
If you're doing PE or biology you might as well do health because some things sort of overlap between the courses.

Thanks guys,
I've decided to take Health & Human Development.
