-Do VET Cisco
-Do Psych, or any subject really, in Year 11 instead of having frees at the library
-Do Uni Maths instead of Physics
-Not neglect English
-Go to a Chinese school with a stronger cohort
That reminds me, I would actually use our "spare" sessions in the study center instead of talking and wasting 3 hours a week doing nothing!

A few seem to have neglected English.

Yeah I think I should have done uni maths this year too - better a 5.0 or 5.5 increment than a 3.X or (if I'm lucky) 4.X... :-\

^^Or even if I didn't get a 5.0, I'd still be interested in the subject, which I feel is just as important as being good at it.

Oh well, (and to quote an infamous VN bushranger in context) "such is life" :(

If you can call it a "subject" *insert rant about VCE physics and psych not being real subjects*

This is my BIGGEST regret of all VCE: physics :(

Seconded (thirded?), but then it is VCE physics. I supposed a little bit of maths is better than drawing.

Seriously? You would rather work hard on something that you are not interested in (i.e. "random") than be bored plugging pointless numbers in formulas?

EDIT: hey you changed you physics score from 10+ to 15+?

Haha that's so true. I find physics interesting... I find VCE physics kinda well....
I would have definitely done Literature or Philosophy(If my school offered it) if I knew physics would be like this.

No, I'm fine with drawing. It's the essays... *inserts rant about having to write about artists no one cares about/has ever heard of*

And Rohitpi, no I think physics would be better. Try getting ~2-4 hours sleep each night for a week because of it, and then you'll appreciate physics.

On the contrary, overall I really enjoyed VCE Physics and am really glad that I did the subject.

The subject is full of flaws, but it isn't as bad as everyone seems to be making it out to be (for me anyway).

It really only became dreadful when I focused too much on just getting an answer out, rather than thinking about the concepts at hand.
