Biology vs Psychology :ooo

[Russ]

I don't think you'd need "hard" work, just a consistent effort. Get familiar with the terms, get familiar with cell structure and function and you'll be pretty well prepared for unit 3. If you buy a second hand copy of a unit 1 textbook and read through that, you'll be well prepared. A lot of students do 3/4 biology without 1/2 (i nearly did!).

This thread makes me sick
Pysch > Bio
Why?
:: sexier subj
:: easier
:: is basically biology; esp the new study design
:: doesn't require tutor; economic benefit
:: much easier to score 50 in then biology
:: can be applied practically; how do we learn? how do we remember things? how do we sleep?

:: is basically biology;

Why settle for silver when you can get gold

[crappy]

Ask yourself this. Would you rather study an arts subject or an actual science?

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO
 WELL bio is better because:
*it is more relevant to life
*there are no psych-os who study it
*less people do bio
*the word bio means life and if you want to do soemthing med realated you need some bio because you ARE saving lives!
*psychology is just ghey and hardly has anything mathematical

BWAHAHAHAHAA

Biology is not a pre-req for MBBS and hence irrelevant to my VCE. If i do get MBBS there's the compulsory bridging course, so to OP; don't be scared to do pyschology just because biology helps med. Also biology is relevant to life once you get into med; your not going 2go up2 your mate and say "omg ur mitochondria are malfunctioning"...but rather with pyschology you can say "you didn't sleep last night because of Stage 2 NREM sleep or whatever it is [ i have no clue lmao ] ...pysch isnt just "gay" what a shit point? as for maths; how th' hell is that relevant here?...and less ppl do bio that just helps my case; bio sucks

[Russ]

take it from someone who's done biology and psychology...psych is essentially just a subset of bio. doesn't mean it's not interesting, but biology will offer far more practical advice than pysch will.

thats exactly the point; its a sub-set; easier; better; sexier; do it in your VCE; biology can be saved for uni when you can be stuffed working

[minilunchbox]

Psych is easier. Biology is harder.
Psych is harder to get a high study score. Biology is easier. (I'm going by the cut-off ranges for the exams)

I LOVE BOTH EQUALLY. DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE.

Neither of them require 1/2 to do well.

Ignore that, he wouldn't say that if he was studying arts.

[The Detective]

I prefer biology over psych because the content is definitely more interesting!! I like psych unit 4 now though but not unit 3 material. 
There are heaps of people in my 3/4 class that haven't done bio 1/2 and they seem to be doing fairly well. My friend was annoyed because some people who went straight into 3/4 bio got better SAC scores than us so I don't think it makes any difference.

[Hutchoo]

ROFL, You guys make me laugh so much. I agree psychology is a 'pseudo-science' xD. THE ARTS ROFL.

Oh gosh, you literally brought tears to my eyes >.<
So, you guys suggesting I just do 3/4 ?

I don't think you'd need "hard" work, just a consistent effort. Get familiar with the terms, get familiar with cell structure and function and you'll be pretty well prepared for unit 3.

I've already borrowed a friends 1/2 CD from the textbook and copied it to my hard drive ~ Already started to get the basics down, organelles.. Cell structure of plants/animals etc.

:: is basically biology;

Also, why the hatin'? -1 karma

Why settle for silver when you can get gold

You two men, poah, the amount of lol's >.> <3 :angel:
and


I think I'm capable. My sister got a 48 in biology so .. *shrugs* it could be in our genes [heh geddit, biology = genes etc ]

[Russ]

It's your decision, I'm just saying that 3/4 is pretty standalone in terms of the content.

And just as an aside, everyone mocks psychology for being a soft science but it's usually in good fun

[Hutchoo]

Yeah, I really want to do biology now >.> Even though my friends are doubting i'll do well..

I don't want to go into Biology 3/4 and get a SS of 20, I want something like a 40+ I suppose I'll just throw my computer games out the window and study then >..> XD

[Caspar]

Bio 3+4 and Bio 1+2 aren't strongly related. Doing it in year 11 is a huge advantage because it's a subject that if you put in the time (a lot of time) + aren't retarded, you'll get a 45+. Psych doesn't take heaps of work, and you can always pick it up in year 12 if you discover that you're a dud at physics or something.

edit: LOL I know you from Bored Aussies. Do psychology, you'd be more suited to that.
