Heys
I was wondering is dropping physics the best option? Ive done pretty average 60-70% and i usually get confuse about the work and stuff but if i do drop physics what subject should i pick up?
psychology(good teacher), biology(alrite teacher), physical education(not the greatest), business subs(they are great i heard) or any other suggestions.
Keep in mind that the subjects i have just mentioned im not doing at the moment which means ill go straight into 3/4 without doing 1/2
Also i would have done 2 unit 3/4 subs by next year but my school makes it compulsory to 5 in year 12 unless your an exception (clearly im not)
subjects of next year would be math methods,specialists,chemistry,english and ??????
(i would have done a international(dont like it much) and a language in year 11 (units3/4))
-
you score and confusion about physics can be resolved. (But 70% is by no means bad)
The question you should consider most is, do you enjoy the subject?
-
if you're enjoying physics and happy with your marks at the moment, or willing to put a bit more effort into it next year, (and i'm sure people here could help you!) then keep it.
if you do want to drop it for something else, i don't think bio or p.e would be too hard to pick up without having done 1/2. i have friends that do 3/4 psych without having done 1/2 who are doing great. only a small amount of 1/2 psych gets carried into 3/4, so it can easily be done.
but you should probably just pick the subject that you find the most interesting
-
lols for the record, i hate physics and only picked coz i thought it could of helpped me with my specialist but i struggle with magnetics which is major part in unit4. So yea all the subjects i listed before i dont care which one i just want the easier one or sumthin that overlaps. lols i am doing alrite in GMA atm so i dont really need physics
-
do bus management, thats what i picked up after dropping physics. or you could do further maths?
-
lols my school dont let me do triple maths in year 12 (well exceptions of uni maths) and i heard bus man was pretty hard even though scaling down and commerce subjects arent in my nature and are really my last resort
-
Try Accounting

haha oh, well psych is probably the easiest out of those
though if i were you, i would pick something fun like photography
-
BusMan is easier then Psych, but Psych is more interesting.
I'd recommend psych, has a light workload and is interesting BUT don't take it for granted, you actually have to study a bit if you want to do well
-
yea i was thinking about psychology since my friend told me it was ok, but i heard da study design is changing next year yes or no?
Also accounting is like a so-so subject since the teacher of the sub would probably reject me (nothing personal) great teacher and stuff got 50% of the accounting class to get an A+ in the mid years lowest mark was a B+ but since i didnt do units 1/2 he probably wont accept me but im not fond of accounting in the first place anyways ==
