What options could i have

[Only Cheating Yourself]

I'm two years from graduating and have no clue what i want to become and will take a gap year after year 12, but i'm aiming for 80-90 as an ATAR and 25 raw for methods, methods would be my only prerequisite subject alongside English, so what options do i have and are there any courses that lead to $?

Take it from me when I say that NO course leads to $$$ if you don't have interest in it. If you have no passion in it, you won't do well in it - period. And not doing well in it; means no job --> no $.

Look at the subjects you enjoy in school and check out which profession who uses these subjects.

To be honest don't like much, i would like to be a physiotherapist though.  But would a score in the 80's get me into a course and if it did i don't have a science subject so i can't get into either…

Plenty of alternative pathways if you truly have an interest or passion in it. However, it looks to me that you aren't really interested in Higher Education at the moment. Might I suggest entering the workforce after yr 12 for a year or 2; might give you a better perspective on what you really want. There's no such thing as an easy uni course into an automatic job - even the kids in Melbourne's law program have only a 15% chance of landing a clerkship when they graduate.

Change that attitude right now bro. If you are "aiming" for 25 in methods re-consider doing the subjects. 25 is a relatively low score and  scaling is not guaranteed to be so high every year.  Before you get into the trap, lets say aim for a 40 in Methods, which is by all means achievable if the put in the right amount of work. Study smart not hard

Methods is a hard subject thats why it scales up by 6…. i get e.g 26 thats a 31-32.  Im not gifted at maths so achieving a 40 is stretch.

Early mathematical ability doesn't have a whole lot of correlation with VCE methods success.

really?  so what do i need to do to get a good score?

You don't spend 5-7+ years (VCE+Uni) studying and working your whole life solely to make $ or you probably won't be living it to the fullest. No point doing a course and job you hate just to enjoy your materialistic lifestyle and rot at work whilst regretting doing that course that "leads of $". Most courses (that you enjoy of course) within the 80-90 ATAR range -should- land you a well paying job anyway, just don't determine your course solely on salary. You have a lot of options and time to decide.

You need to practice from the beginning stay on top of things. And stay committed, make sure to study often in shorter periods that one massive chuck which is extremely inefficient. I mean look at all the top scoring students. Lets say they are wanting a pharmacy course. Hypothetical subjects would be Methods, Spesh, Chem, Bio. He/she has a brain wired with maths/ science. But they always seem to get the 50 in English and a language or maybe music or business subject. I used to always ask myself how to do they do it. Then I realise its not because they are genetically smart or pay for expensive tutors, but because they have used the right techniques.

Moral : Dosent matter who you are what you good, VCE is a game of wit and how well you can handle a challenge
