Anyone NOT doing maths/didn't do maths for their VCE?

[teebagger*]

I'm, well, balls at maths (which is really abnormal seeing as I'm Asian :x). Currently in year 11 and wondering if I've made a mistake dropping it and whether I should pick up 3&4 Further next year.
And I'm also curious to see if anyone else has dropped maths altogether, and even more curious to see if anyone has managed a fairly high ENTER without it.

Although I do Maths, I know that there are people who get 99s etc without maths. It's just that when they go to Uni their choices are more restricted. It's all about what you want to do at Uni I guess...

[appianway]

Well, two people at my school managed to get 99.95 without maths last year, and another had it as her 7th subject.

If you REALLY don't like maths and can't imagine pursuing anything that needs it, don't bother. Just choose the subjects that you like instead.

True, true. Matters are made worse by the fact that I still don't have much of an idea of what I want to do but eh. I'm sure it won't involve maths.
What maths are you doing & what do you wanna do after VCE?

[minilunchbox]

How many subjects are you doing next year/altogether? My friend isn't planning on doing Further because she doesn't ~feel like it and she doesn't need it for her course. But I think that's a bad idea because she's only doing 4 subjects next year with 1 3/4 this year.

If you're doing 5 3/4 subjects altogether you should do Further just for the sake of it (having no maths sort of limits your Uni options depending on what you want to do). Unless you really abhor it, then pick something else up.

Next year I'm doing 5 altogether: English, (hopefully) English Language, Legal Studies, Psychology & Biology. My school's kinda retarded in that we're only allowed to do 5 subjects in year 12, which makes me wanna gnaw my arm off or something for not doing a 3&4 this year.
Yeah, I really detest maths so picking it up might be a waste. I feel so alone though lol. *Feels a lot less smart than all you smart people*
Does no one else on this forum not do maths?

Hi

I do maths, but don't worry! Kinda

If you do decide to do Further in year 12, it will be EASY, that is, you don't need year 11

Also, I also suck at maths, and almost choose not to do maths, all my course preferences for VTAC (uni next year) don't even require maths, and they pay HIGH money! There are actually shortages.

Lots of courses don't need maths, AND those that do, merely require A MATHS,(furtehr, spesh or methods).

In the end  took up further because i figured it's better than nothing (even though i did 2 year 12 subjects last year), and if i did badly, i did badly and wouldn't have anything to lose. obviously tohugh i just want to scrape a pass, so as to meet any uni requiremtns of a maths. Because altohugh im 98% sure anything i do in Uni wont need a maths, its just BETTR for that back up

In fact, in further this year I am performing better than years 7-10

Does no one else on this forum not do maths?

I did but it wasn't part of my primary 4, does that count?

This is a very maths-concentrated forum ... unfortunately JK JK

[IntoTheNewWorld]

Maths won't be one of my primary four either! (unless something weird happens). Only doing it for prerequisites >_<

[Fyrefly]

I did Methods and Spec... but guess which two subjects weren't in my top 4?? XD

[xXNovaxX]

......im guessing! Im guessing! Is it English!


LMAO. But wow, that's sort of un-lucky isn't it? Since they get scaled up? But you still did awesome judging by your ENTER lol.

[teebagger*]

No! You peeps up there still count for even doing it! Lol.

[rh]

i did methods in yr 11, well, unit 1 anyway. i failed miserably and hated it so i dropped it in semester 2. i was going to take up general maths or whatever it's called but the class was full so i couldn't. at the time i was pissed off but it worked out great. not doing maths rules.

[xXNovaxX]

...a bit off topic....ur name is disturbing lol.

and so this post isn't worthless, DON'T REGRET not doing Maths. I have heard of some people who haven't (because not interested, don't need it), and still end up with a higher ENETR of high 80's, and they get into the course that they want, and get a normal/high paying job .

[khalil]

This guy I know got ENTER 97.5 and got into med @ monash and did not do ANY maths.
If u dont like it or ur not good at it...DONT DO IT, and dont have any regrets, ur talents are better spent elsewhere
