VCE subjects you'd like to do/have done.

[charmanderp]

Personally there were a few VCAA studies I really wanted to choose but couldn't, either because they weren't offered by my school or I didn't have space. It'd be interesting to see if anyone else had the same experience, and for what reasons.

My current subjects are Lit, English, Methods, Chem, Media and Politics, but ideally I would have loved to have done Lit, Classics, Politics, Philosophy, Latin and Theatre Studies, and potentially a uni subject too, or Music Performance.

I've found that I enjoy Chem and Media in a way I would have never realised under different circumstances, but Methods and English bore me to tears.

So yeah, your turn. Discount anything like uni prerequisites, parental pressure and even the English requirement, if you want :p

Subjects i should have done: Chem instead of health, i sucked at biology but i guess I needed it for uni anyway.

My german teacher sucked last year, but then again the 10+ boost for SS got me what I needed for my atar.

I would have liked to have done another History subject - most likely Renaissance or something interesting like that. But I would have had to do it by distance education, and as last year's history was quite a difficult, time-consuming subject on its own, without distance ed, I figured it would be better to do something 'easier'. Perhaps I should have done it, but it's too late now either way.

I really really regret not doing Interpol OR History Revs. Chose the all sciences/maths route (+Accounting ), and now that I've decided I don't want to do Med, it kinda makes me think doing Chem was a waste of time. Even if I can get a better SS doing Chem then History/Pol (most likely), both of those subjects are much more interesting imo.

Would have loved to do Specialist Maths, seems pretty interesting

Latin (it would be so useful right now!)

Ditch physics (obviously - it's not even a real subject or real physics...)

Took the words right out of my mouth.

That, or the fact that I have to do it now for the first time thanks to the Melbourne model.

If only my school offered Nat Pol..even though it advertises specifically on its site that it does 0_0
Regret over choosing philosophy but will settle for Legal Studies.

[Eddiee]

I really wanted to do some of the Humanities subjects, such as Legal Studies and BusMan but being at a science school, sadly these weren't offered Geography will do I guess

Media, IT and French were subjects I originally wanted to do in VCE, but then I slowly started to lose interest in them.

Thanks for posting this by the way. First I thought I was stupid for choosing all the Asian 5 subjects, now I've realised I've done the right thing

Edit: Also, wouldn't mind National/International Politics too

should've done uni maths

Hmm... if we were ignoring all restrictions and considering hypothetically a nice mix of subjects to undertake  - hence I'm also ignoring a lot of other factors that did shape my decisions to take the subjects I am doing (which I'm actually extremely happy with) - this selection sounds pretty good to me:

Literature, Media, Specialist Maths, Chemistry, History Revolutions and UMEP Physics

The lack of Methods and VCE physics would probably mean that Spesh and UMEP Physics would be a lot harder haha. Perhaps Methods, VCE Physics and History Revolutions in Year 11, and then do the rest in Year 12 would fix that issue.

Same here , (would have replaced further with it)

Still have to do a Math unit at Monash Science. Choice between Calculus and Stats
