ESL
Chemisty 3/4
Physics 3/4
Further 3/4 (or UMEP)
is it better to take further of umep
help plz
if you're good enough to do UMEP, definitely take it. If you're good enough to do uni maths then you'll go insane with boredom doing further. Uni maths was a really good decision, one of the best i've made i reckon. It's pretty theoretical and gets a bit conceptually challenging at times, but it's stimulating and will make spech look easy in comparison. There's not much direct content overlap however, however it does get your brain thinking at a higher level which IS helpful with maths in general. I think it's great opportunity and if you can, definitely do it, as for workload, i did pretty little during the year and just crammed it in after i finished my final VCE exam, so it's not impossible to do well, i won't lie though that week and a half wasn't pretty haha, but essentially if you're capable (and your teacher seem to think you are) then definitely do it!
