Predict me an eng SS :D

from your signature, it seems like you've given your future a lot of thought already lol
good on ya, ive only started thinking about my future halfway through year 12 and im stuck with these subjects
so yeah, im a maths/sciencey guy and i HATE english... as do most other people that don't like writing long essays etc
if thats for you then go for english
ive never done EL but yeah if you want to try both out, you're gonna be giving up another subject you could be doing
good luck

I don't know - I'm more a maths/sciency person than english but I'm also pretty good at english and I love it to! This is why it's so hard for me to choose subjects, there's too many I could do. Lol yeah I've got all my tertiary courses sorted out (depending on whether I want to be a solicitor or actuary) but as for VCE, I've almost got subjects sorted out bar the english/EL and I am still unsure whether to do 1 or 2 3/4s next year. I have methods, biology and chinese 1/2 as well as religion and society (but let's not worry about that). I'm definitely doing methods next year... quite standard at my school; but not sure about biology and chinese. Ahh I hate subject selection!!!

I'm gonna set out on a mission to educate younger students about how important it is to make careful and well-thought decisions about their VCE...As long as they pay me.

I'm willing to do it for free

[98.40_for_sure]

I envy younger ones that actually think about their future .

I know at the start of year 10 I was all "I am never ever gonna do physics or chem" or "Why do advanced maths, I won't do spesh pffft".

And now I really really regret not doing spesh, and it turns out I love science and maths.

LOL thats like saying "i like sandwiches... and women make sandwiches, therefore i like women" its illogical!

I think you and cheryl think too much . Granted, i wanted to try to do heaps of things when I was in year 10, like I dreamt of economics and english language and revolutions and whatever,
but deep down there are subjects you prioritise in your heart and you're gunna pick those over other ones alright. and if u want to do all of them, then dont fret about the workload and accept the consequences.

Yeah, definitely doing a max of 6 subjects + UMEP:

So most likely:
- English Language
- Physics
- Chem
- Chinese SL
- Maths Methods
- Specialist Maths
- UMEP Maths

But I'm not 100% sure... I could go on with biology next year, for instance, and drop one of chem/phys. Lol I suck at subject selection.

a lot more courses req chem and physics than biology

For me course prerequisites aren't a problem - as I am only seriously considering commerce and law degrees, I only need like maths methods and an english as a prereq; I never wanted to do medicine etc.

You might change your mind
you could get into any course you want

if u love em all equally then pick the one with higher scaling- its the only time you should consider scaling. Thus, bio is cancelled out.

Then the above configuration gives the maximal scaling (biology is ~+1, phys is ~+2). Figures are approximate.

- English Language (+2)
- Physics (+2)
- Chem (+3 or 4)
- Chinese SL (+ 9)
- Maths Methods (+4)
- Specialist Maths (+6)
- UMEP Maths

Hmm. Pretty decent scaling

Im guessing you're approxing high 40's for all your subjects so that must be why your scaling is so little

[iffets12345]

is this with 40 + raw scores lol

Yep lol
Scaling is still decent, though less than before for my subjects. I guess I'll just have to try harder to compromise.

[98.40_for_sure]

Lol must be like real close to 50, cos physics doesn't go +2 anywhere else

I calculated most from 45, not 50... lol if 50 then +0 is quite crappy scaling
