VCE subject selection

Hi all,
Considering the fact that i'm quite new to atar notes i might have this post in the wrong section,
If so, please forgive me.

So, Its August, and being an inexperienced year 10 student, I'd like to ask:

Is Buisness Management more or less of a bludge subject? I know that word isn't 'feasible' in terms of vce, but really. I am in desperate need of a bludge-y subject.

My picks for vce next year include: Chem, MMP, Bio, Psych, and the quintessential English.
Aspiring to arbitrarily end up in medicine..

It is known to be one of the easiest, hence it scaling down so much.
2013: Accounting

2014: Methods, Spesh, Legal, Distance Ed Economics and English

Out of interest, what does MMP stand for?

I am studying Business Management this year, and yes it is conceptually easy. By this, I mean that the topics covered are fairly straight forward and do not require much time to understand them. However, like all VCE subjects, you will need to work hard and study a lot in order to do well, which you will need if you want to do Med.

And as for the idea of it being marked down because it is easy, that is incorrect. It is marked down because the average student studying BM in the state is below the overall average student in the state. Scaling has nothing to do with subject difficulty and everything to do with the cohort studying the subject. Don't be turned off BM by the scaling either, as once you get over 40 the scaling is not that bad.

Finally, I would recommend BM, because for nothing else, it is a bit easier than your other subjects and is also a bit different
2012 – Accounting (50)
2013 – English (47) | Literature (47) | French (44) | Methods (33) | Business Management (50)
2014-Present – Commerce/Law (Monash)

Sorry for the typo, considering I'm doing Maths Methods 'Prep' this year, i seem to refer Maths Methods as a whole as 'MMP'.

But wow, thank-you for conceptualizing Business Management for me, and I think I might do it for the mere fact that it is low on stress and will give a little variety to my selection. I feel like, when i hand in form tomorrow, I can breath of sense of surety as to have made an informed last minute decision.

Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you.
Your honestly an awesome person, and i hope you relinquish nothing but the very best :)
