o well...one term left to survive

[98.40_for_sure]

For OP:

pick subjects that keep uni courses open, ie. methods, spesh, chem
pick subjects that don't require rote learning (less time consuming)
pick subjects that are fun!

Bro, we all know that Math/Science student's owns English/Humanities Minded students. Man, Humanities is killing me. I didn't enjoy History and Geography since year 7. I've always enjoyed playing with numbers. By doing maths you can enter a new dimension of learning. Those students who are doing Methods and Adv. Gen are the ones likely to break mental barriers, because its tricky and great.

Anyways we all know that Math/Science students are more likely to get 90 + ATAR then a English/Humanities Students and Average VCE students. Brother, Math all the way and of course VCE is gonna sexy and hard.

Well Abd, i could not disagree with you more. As you can probably see from my sig, the majority of my subjects are humanities or englishes- with only one maths. This does not hinder my chances of getting a 90+ ATAR. There is just as much an art to learning things in a humanities subject as there is in a maths or sience subject.

I could even argue that humanities subjects require more brain function and processing than maths subjects. There is hardly ever any absolutely true answers in humanities subjects, and english subjects for that matter. In maths it is always true that 2+2=4, but in humanities subjects no such certainty exists. This means that we are forced to think outside the box and analyise questions and ideas.

Surely this would promote someone to move into your so called 'new dimension of learning' than a subject where all is certain and everything follows set patterns and rules.

99.95_for sure, why the hell did you choose Text and Traditions then?

@abd

Since you seem to have an interest and enthusiasm in maths, I would consider looking at uni enhancement maths as a 5/6th subject.

i think you should choose whatver you want to do the most and what u find the most enjoyable cause then you would put more effort into doing them and can equally get good grades. year 12 is a rreally stressing year and the last thing u want is to do subejcts that are stressing you out and at te same time you dislike. and you will realise that u kinda feel bias towards studying more for certain subjects and most of the time you kinda lean towards doing the hw for te subjects you enjoy.

In maths it is always true that 2+2=4

Not true.

Also, there is no certainty in mathematics.

[TrueTears]

In maths it is always true that 2+2=4

Not true.

2+2=8 mod 4

[chrisjb]

In maths it is always true that 2+2=4

Not true.

2+2=8 mod 4

Yes, you can use that argument (and to use the example that 'two plus two always equals four' is too simplistic- but i was reading 1984 the other day so that quote was stuck in my head), but the fact still remains that to get any answer you still have to use a set pattern, and you can use a set pattern to find any answer to any maths question. Humanities subjects are different in that there is no set pattern to follow. You make it up as you go allong and explore ranges of answers, from what is right to what is semi-right and to what is probably wrong.

Theoreticly, if you understood and knew every pattern and every rule governing every area of every field of mathmatics, you could answer any question wich was maths based. However, no matter how much you know about an arts subject, there is always a way of finding a different answer. Effectivley, I propose that whilst the number or rules which govern maths is finite, the number of rules which govern art are infinite.

Yes, you can ask what i base this on, and the only thing that i can base it on is that maths is logic based, whilst art is not logic based.

EDIT: you know, I'm gonna stop digging a hole for myself. You're right, maths is prety good.

May I also suggest the unemployment 5?
English, VisCom, Studio Arts, Theatre Studies, Media, IT Applications.

Not exactly. I think you're deeply misguided thinking that University is the only place that provides job opportunities. You can gain entry to TAFE just by completing year 12. TAFE provides as much job prospects as an University degree does. Electricians and plumbers are in demand in Australia right now.

=/ I've done both and I think they're both very "automatic" subjects where you don't really need to think other than in learning new theory.

I could even argue that humanities subjects require more brain function and processing than maths subjects.

I agree. Methods and Spesh are way too low-level to really require concentrated thinking. IMO Maths and sciences are similar to doing a menial task such as making your bed: you see the question and you instintively know what you need to do without much thought. Uni Maths on the other hand...is 10x harder than Spesh and makes my brain hurt >.<.

I don't like or hate any of my subjects =/. And Y12 hasn't been a very stressful year at all, but maybe that's just because I haven't really taken SACs seriously this year.

Over the over the 7-8 weeks of summer holiday. I will emphasize studying in chem the most out of the six subjects; i've chosen. I need to study a lot in my lame ass english wiriting skills like e.g (sentence structure, essays and grammar). In year 12 i heard that you were allow to do five subjects and the six subject i'll be dropping  HHD and i would be be left with hard ass subjects. "The Big Game" starts next year for the year 10 students for this year as well the lovely year 11 student, but booooy shit gets real in VCE.

You don't really need to do any holiday work other than English. And haha I've totally forgotten the "VCE is the real thing" feeling.

out of curiosity, is biology part of the asian five? XD

lol. Biology is part of the Rosie 5.

The Rosie 5 consists of English, Literature, History Revolutions, Psychology & Biology

Traditionally the Asian 5 consists of the following:

• Physics
• Methods
• Specialist
• Chemistry
• English

@OP.
As someone earlier already stated, keep your options open (don't quit methods etc). Chances are, like all of us- you'll change your mind.
Hope I helped.

I'm surely your going to get 45 + study score in Units 3/4 Economics. So, i assume your going to be Year 11 next year and one Year 12 subject dayyum you must be one must smart dude!

I'm surely? Haha, yeah 45+ is my goal- my tutor got a 45 so I have to beat him ^_^ kekeke.
I don't consider myself smart as opposed to a hard worker. I don't know what I want to do at Uni yet >.> Got a long time till I have to decide
Yes, I'm in year 10 at the moment.
