If you could do VCE again which subjects would you have done

[sjayne]

I think I've already answered this but things changed 

I did:
yr 11: revolutions, further maths
yr 12: Japanese, methods, english, psych, bio
I also did: 1/2 chem, so psych and bio I didn't do 1/2 for.

I wouldn't change any of my subjects at all.
6 months ago I would have said I wish I hadn't of done biology, but now that I'm at uni I'm really enjoying it and I'm so glad that I stuck with it, even if I did find it difficult at first. I also found methods really difficult towards the end but doing it made me a stronger person and gave me future options I hadn't even considered.

I'm naturally an english/humanities person and I remember saying that I shouldn't have done any science. I WAS WRONG. Sometimes it's worth doing things that don't come easy to you (not all the time) and you might enjoy the challenge. Saying that though, revs was extremely interesting and changed my thinking, similar to how psych did. I'm also glad that I didn't do chem in year 12 (weirdly) because now I'm doing it at uni and am actually enjoying it because I don't have teachers that hate their jobs.

I find it really funny that everyone wishes they did heaps of subjects in year 10/11. Imagine going back in time and telling the year 10 version of yourself to knuckle down and do a 3/4; they'd probably tell you to get stuffed.

No.  No, honest.  I like to think I'm not a nerd (well at least I'm definitely not a nerd by AN standards), but I would have done one in year 9 (I barely even knew what VCE was, but was so dead sick of sitting in class doing absolutely nothing).  I did ask to do a 3/4 in year 10, they didn't let me so I skipped year 10 and then they wouldn't let me do a 3/4 in year 11 becoz I hadn't done any 1/2s

EDIT: Note, I don't recommend doing extra subjects early just for scores' sake (that wasn't how I thought of it back then either); it pushes you to a higher level earlier, so you don't spend your whole school life sitting doing nothing.  And I found that doing a 3/4 meant that I actually learnt the content thoroughly, whereas if it was just a year 10 subject, I worked just enough to push through with good marks.  So doing MORE subjects makes you learn more, broader stuff in more depth.

[Gentoo]

That's definitely respectable!

I would have done at least the subjects I have already done. Although I'd probably prefer to do Methods in year 9, Spesh in year 10, uni maths in year 11 and uni physics in year 12. That way I'd sit the exam for the maths subjects in the years I actually learned them.

Although that means I'd have to pick extra subjects.

What subjects would you choose, out of interest?

[pi]

I don't know if I have ever mentioned this, but I probably wouldn't have done VCE physics.

[heart]

in vce would have replaced biology with physics. At uni I wish i did more maths but i applied for a maths diploma in pure maths to do part time

[Zealous]

As crazy as it sounds I would probably replace further with chemistry or economics. I would've learnt a lot more from those subjects and further didn't even count towards my top 4 anyway...

[myanacondadont]

So I did Methods, Further, History:Revs, English, Physics in year 12 and Chem in year 11.

Do I have to assume I attend the same school? Cause like if I could choose any subjects I would drop Chem in year 11 and do further or Methods. Then in year 12 I would do spesh, methods if I hadn't, English, Economics, Accounting and possibly Physics if I didn't do methods in year 12.

Looking back on it, I really wish I had the option of commerce subjects but overall it didn't harm me in the end.

[Phy124]

Subject: Hospitality - Kitchen Operations
Why: Dem real life skills man. My parents just came back from a 6 week trip and all I ate was maccas/hungry jacks/kfc/dominos on rotation for all but a few days.

I dunno. Maybe Legal. Maybe bio. Maybe even English. But now that I think about it, I'm happy with not doing any extra subjects.

[Special At Specialist]

I would still have done methods, specialist and philosophy.
But instead of English, literature and German, I would have done English language, further maths and psychology.
