6 subjects in yr 12

[Studyinghard]

Anyone out there who is doing 6 subjects in yr 12 or has previously done 6 in '09.

any tips?

and is it really that hard or is it just depending on the subjects you take?

i was considering it, but i'm dropping physics and only doing 5.  there was no way i can handle three mid years, plus i got the umat to worry about.

[minilunchbox]

I was going to but then 3 midyears + mid year uni exam didn't sound very appealing.

I'm doing 6 subjects this year if you include enhancement subject, it doesn't seem too much of a problem to me.

Err I'm considering dropping Physics. I can handle 6 subjects, but Physics just seems like an unneccesary burden

yeah doing 5 vce subjects and then an enhancement shouldn't be too bad.
the enhancement just adds an extra two hours and a bit of work once a week to do.

but i'm considering dropping further once school starts.
or ignoring maths and aiming high in further.
whatever i think is better after a few weeks!

doing 6 vce subjects would be much too intense for most people, so only really consider this number if the 6th is a enhancement studies.

join the club kyzoo.

unless you need physics as a prereq for uni, then probably drop it.
you will have 5 subjects in total + enhancement study, so you will still get an awesome atar.

no point wasting time on something that probably isn't even going towards your atar.
took me a while to realize this.

Devoted's doing 6 subjects. Then again, she's gun at life so there you go.

I would recommend it since you already have 6 total including your MM from year 11 (a luxury denied to me by my school) with physics withstanding. The two other people I know at my school doing enhancement are dropping physics so they only have 4 3/4 subjects to contend with.

I'm also doing 6 subjects, however i might end up dropping a subject before school starts. Currently pissed off at parents, who won't give me a tutor for every subject

depends which subjects ur doing really, its possible with subjects like food-tech.

It also depends if you're willing to take the subject seriously or not, I believe that if you're planning to get high 40's/50 for any given subject, (regardless of art/science) they all require a lot of study. Just saying its possible with subjects like food-tech is an insult to people that do it and take it seriously. I could do the 6 subjects I'm doing all this year and completely ignore physics or spesh, it wouldn't be any different than me doing food-tech.

[stonecold]

^^^ i agree, but the problem with food tech is that you get raped on the scaling unless you can manage 50.

[Albeno69]

its possible but it depends on how you manage your workload and what subject you do and weather you enjoy the subject. im doing 5 mainly because im lazy and want to excel in business management and accounting so gonna do loads of study for them so a sixth subject in my case would not go well.

Before i took food tech i didn't realise how much scaling fucks it up. Tbh before last year i knew nothing about scaling and enters.

And also, believe it or not but the folio for food takes up a vassst amount of time.

Damn food tech and now my low scaled score for it
