thats good hard. do whatever works for you. dont change your mind just because other people tell you to. just make sure that there is not a possibility that you may change your mind at a later date. i tapered all of my subjects to the prereqs and middle bands of the courses i was interested in. which was both good and bad i guess.


2007: Bio[32]-HHD[36]
2008: English[43]-Lit[32]-Further[39]-Psych[35]-Chem[25]
2009: Bachelor of Nursing/Midwifery (Y)

i heard according to my teacher it is the first 6 weeks of term 1 u can switch your subjects but afterwards they(meaning VCAA) wont allow it. Im not sure my teacher is right but im guessing anytime before term 2 starts.

I know someone who dropped Accounting AFTER the Mid year and picked up another sub.

No fcking idea how that worked. They definitely dropped Accounting... but hmmmm maybe they didn't pick another sub up.

mmm ii sent this email:

hi Mr.x it's admon,
                               
Just writing in regards to my subjects am i've decided that i'm dropping chemistry and picking up biology. I've already started the first two chapters of bio and i think i'll personally do better at bio than at chem since it's more rote-learning. Sadly i got rejected from UMEP due to poor physics results haha but i find spec meth eng and bio will suit me much better than doing chem. Can you check that the timetable doesn't clash and all? When is school resuming for teachers?
 
cheers.

then he sent:

Hi Admon,
 
I'm going into school on the 27th and will check for you, should be OK.
 
My only concern is that chemistry is a pre req for many courses, it is more sought after than physics,spec maths or biology. Have you checked that out?
