do u guys think its too late to start with a new subject.
i picked psych also cos' so many ppl in this site have done well in it, plus i never did practise exams when i did psych, this site is full of them. thats the only reason i think i will improve. plus i ran out of time in exam 2 and missed out on a page of questions. man, i wanna shoot myself in the foot.

it's up to your teachers to let you pick up a new subject now, i think it's definitely possible to catch up but your choice

ha- clearly people are amazing on this site and they do well in everything (especially in the math subjects!) but you are awesome then if you did no prac exams and missed a page of questions and still got 44!
that's wicked as, well done.
well if you aren't able to do a new subject, and hopefully your psych scores weren't too based on luck, you have a good shot at 45+ taken that you learn everything again early and just do heaps of prac exams over the term (like all).
thanks for the advice vexx. i'll ask the teacher if i can change. if not, then i will do 100 exams if that will get me a 50. if i can even find so many

haha go for it, i think there are 40+ exams now all together for EACH unit. thats 80+ (close enough to 100), the study design has been out for so long, embrace it- but yeah better to do another subject but you'll be fine either way.
Are you serious. On this site? You sure?

What are your other subjects? What are your aims in those?


Well i did Eng (43) and FM (46) last year and doing (aim): MM(44) Legal(47) UNi psch(5.5) and psych (50?)
But do u guys think that 1 week will make a huge difference during the exam period? Is it possible to do well when ur exams r soo close?
WOW you went so well! I still think you should do biology if you like it, instead of repeating psych!

If i were you i'd do bio, definitely. 44 is no where near terrible, i think youd get much more benefit out of having another subject rather than repeating.

Agree with King.

You got 44...that's an amazing score. Why repeat it??

Do bio. Honestly, i think you're wasting your time.
