English or Literature?

Doesn't really make a difference which one you do to achieve either of those amigo. I personally enjoyed Literature more than English because of the class I had, but the subject I actually enjoyed less. Comes straight down to personal preference. Out of the two, English would probably help you more in the long run due to Language Analysis and Context... but I would not sweat it.

I'd say it's more about the score than the subject. They both help you a lot. Literature helps you to think creatively, deeply and helps you to develop complex ideas. English helps you to think analytically and formulatively. But they both teach you good English skills so whichever you think you will score a higher scaled score in, you should do that.
By thumbsing me down, you're basically saying that you think it's better to do the subject that is slightly more relevant (emphasis on the word slightly) but score lower than to do the subject that you are good at and will score a higher study score in.

You're only saying that because you can't read/don't understand what we're saying/what have you. In fact, you're not even thinking about his question, just reiterating what Rohit and I said; a doctor is not paid to be creative. They're paid to be analytical and provide facts and prognoses. So by your logic, Literature is better.
I did both English and Literature, thanks. Don't do a subject because you feel you can get a "better score". Do whichever you will enjoy more. In the long run (ie, when you hit September holidays before exams) you'll either love or hate the revision.
Edit: Also, just so you can get facts straight in the future, no-one is forced to do English as far as I know... any more.

MHS is relaxing a lot of its VCE policies and will be offering eng lang next year and students will have a choice. VCE English require analytical and creative thinking and writing and having done unit 1 lit I could see that it required both styles of thinking and writing also. In regards to the OP do which ever one you enjoy more/ think you will enjoy more because ultimately you will want to work harder and longer at it and achieve higher results.
