Choosing HSC subjects

Like, if you have the choice between a subject you enjoy and a subject that scales well, the one you enjoy all the way :) the scaling algorithms will punish people who do a course, hate it, and end up performing worse than the majority of the cohort :)

Yes! I definitely agree with this! And its also not fair to the rest of the cohort if the bad marks are as a result of not studying a subject you don't like as this can drag down their marks too.

Well I mean, good riddance with physics for me :P
It seems cool but definitely not something I want for a living.

i agree, picking subjects you enjoy and want to study and learn from makes it alot easier!

Currently having a dilemma about which subject i should drop.
I'm taking eng 2u, maths 2u, bio, physics, french cont. and senior science
i just took up senior science this year (its only offered as a yr 12 course)
i absolutely hate it but i've looked at the content and seems fairly basic and easy
for me to do well in cos i take 2 sciences and the content is watered down.
im tossing up between dropping senior science and french provided that i do well
in my physics exam later this term. I really enjoy physics but i didn't do particularly
well becos i slacked off in yr 11 and really didnt understand the electricity unit (ohm's law problems only)
i did fairly well at french but it is definitely getting harder esp because we are tackling harder topics
(e.g. immigration) and it takes up a lot of my time but i definitely did better in it than in physics.
should i keep 12 units or drop down to 10?
definitely see the safety net of keeping 12 (until i tackle motors and generators next year... this is the topic i fear the most for physics) but if i had 10 i would have much more time to focus on my other subjects
thanks!

Hey Katniss! Assuming that you definitely want to drop something, drop senior science. Why?
i just took up senior science this year (its only offered as a yr 12 course), i absolutely hate it
There is absolutely no benefit in keeping a subject you hate. Even though it might be easy, trust me, in the long run you won't do well if you hate it :)
On whether or not you want to drop something, give this a read!
