I do Eco 1/2. Very basic stuff.

Quite a bit of maths though, some formulas.

I know you said you don't like Maths, but what about hitting up further? You go to McRob, by default you're good enough to do it haha.

I thought most courses required at least Methods? I don't know really.

I didn't attend school for most of Year 9/Year 10 due to 'personal issues'; i.e, school refusal and depression and bipolar and such - my current subjects aren't really affected by this, but maths/sciences are subjects which are based on having solid foundations, which is something I definitely do not have, since I missed so much school. It's not just not liking maths. I used to be decent at it (haha, innate?) but after the last two years, it's just not an option anymore.

Plus, I got a Superior for every subject in the entrance exam...except Mathematics. I think Mac.Rob was trying to tell me something! :D

Yeah that's true, and sucks with all the problems, but like honestly Further maths is (and this might be totally wrong; just basing this on anecdotal evidence) at a year 9 level. If you went over like the modules you're doing in summer holidays I don't think it's impossible for you to do it, but honestly in the end you know yourself better than I do so it's your choice. How about just doing Bus. Man lol?

Haha, I almost failed Year 9 maths. I'm not sure that Business Management's running this year, or next, for that matter, but if I were to do B.Man then I may as well do Economics, right?

Economics is fine without 1/2 but I definitely recommend you get your head around things like relative scarcity, supply and demand, and opportunity cost before you start a 3/4. All that stuff is revised but they are fundamental concepts.

I barely remember any maths, but the ability to make and interpret figures and graphs is definitely required.

Hardly ANY maths in Economics at a VCE level.
You only do some easy number plugging..  mostly with CPI/Aggregate demand/Inflation.

Economics is just about reading your textbook many times, remembering definitions and doing questions.

There seem to be a lot of courses that need methods, i thought so too.

I was terrible at methods but turns out there are plenty of courses that don't. It was only because of the ones i was looking at haha.

VCE science subjects don't need you to have any foundation at all if you start them around year 11. Trust me on this.
