Has VCE helped with your university course?

[TrueLight]

Ok so im curious to know which subjects from VCE were you glad to do because it helped in your specific uni course your doing now? as in which vce subjects were relevant or helped in your understanding or helped in any way to your uni course....

so mine are in order of relevance...oh and im doing Science at uni

probably first biology (probably unit 3 more, like the whole gene stuff and some immunology and also some biotech stuff)
second is chemistry definitely close to first (really helped actually, like concentrations, stoichiometry, and reactions and etc, pretty much everything is relevant i think)
and thirdly psychology (probably the research methods and some of the eye stuff for 2nd yr physiology i did...)

and english for writing skills lol and history as well for that matter...

Accounting and Legal Studies have helped me with my BComm @ Monash.

Maths... obviously... but god do I still hate probability >.>

English - for the essay we had to do this year
Viscom - some drawing things

[AppleXY]

no.

[mark_alec]

All of it.

Biology, definitely. Since the lecturer whizzes through all the genetics material it helps to know a bit about it first.

Chemistry - Definitely for first year chemistry
Maths Methods - YEP. Especially integration and differentiation: I have to use this a lot in maths and engineering.
Psychology -For first year psychology

No.

Except for VCE German, but that's because it's a pre-requisite for the level of German I'm in.

VCE maths and UMEP. The rest I don't use regularly enough (or care enough about) to remember, so I'm unfortunately slowly forgetting. Every once in a while I relate some concept or event IRL to something I read for english, though

I remember barely anything from VCE maths Well not exactly, because all my maths knowledge is built on that. But I think about mathematical concepts very differently to how I did in VCE (things like functions, continuity, differentiability, integrability, differential equations are all either redefined or generalised). And I don't remember things like probability from Methods and kinematics/dynamics from Spec.

Only subjects which are still useful to me these days are French (for when I speak to French people, or have to read French) and Music (learning all the music theory helps when composing). So nothing related to my uni course.

Biology has been very helpful, and so has english (for assignments).

[ReVeL]

Economics - been of very slight help.
Methods - good help in maths subjects.

I'm doing Science and I find VCE Biology, Chemistry and Physics useful for the subjects I do in first year.

I also did Maths Methods and Specialist Maths in VCE, but don't think they helped very much though they did give me some idea of what was going in the quantitative part of my Science subjects

[Eriny]

Literature and UMEP helped heaps. I guess Economics helped when I did Pol Sci. Methods and Psych have only really helped when I did a Psych subject.

[Glockmeister]

If I had my VCE back, I'd wished I picked Biology, knowing now, how paltry my Biology skills and knowledge actually are, compared to what's probably required to do well in the Biological aspects of my course.

In terms of what has been useful for me, Methods and Psych have been good for Uni Psych, and I have used the n= m/M equation (Chemistry) in some of my tasks.
