an enter of 70?

--- Quote from: "goosefraba" ---I disagree. If I had done chem or physics, I would have really struggled to study because I would be bored as hell. I love french, so it doesn't really seem like 'work' to study for it. I do regret not doing maths though. Obviously people wanting 99.95 might have to look at things a bit differently, otherwise I'd say generally do subjects you like. No point spending 2 years doing subjects you don't enjoy imo. obviously noone on this site will agree haha

.... I agree! lol
I'd much rather do topics I'm interested in and which will help me. It's why I chose international studies over specialist, and I don't regret it even tho it means it's impossible for me to get high 99s ... cos face it, once uni starts nobody's gonna give a damn what your ENTER was. No point me torturing myself with maths which I really don't enjoy when I can learn about international affairs which I find fascinating ... and useful :)
(disclaimer: I'm NOT saying maths isn't useful :P)

Yeah I agree too, I think people will do better on subjects which they actually enjoy because they won't get bored of it and procrastinate. You took the words out of my mouth ninwa :)

For the role of ENTER maximisation, the Asian five have proved to be very strong.
Whether you value ENTER maximisation as a priority or not, is a different story, and a personal choice.

Not necessarily, if you're someone who isn't good at maths/sciences. Strawbaby did well without the asian 5, and that didn't mean she didn't value 'enter maximisation', she just knew that she would get a better enter doing the subjects she did do
Collin Li:
I'm talking about technical ENTER maximisation, not personal maximisation. I'm saying, if you're a robot, and you can push yourself beyond emotional boundaries such as: "I work better because I like this subject," you will do best in Asian 5. For people where that problem is next to non-existent, or even a positive effect (e.g: people who like maths and science), then the Asian 5 is definitely one of the best subject combinations to choose.
I don't think she did any subjects that scaled above 50.

But it's not always about liking the subject or pushing yourself beyond emotional boundaries, some people just aren't good at maths or sciences, but are capable of high scores in subjects such as lit, eng, art (eg.strawbaby) I understand where you're coming from, and I know you probably came from a school of generally smart people for whom this rule may have suited. At my school, alot of people choose spec/chem/physics/methods etc. because of the scaling, and the majority do really poorly. Whilst they may scale well, you have to be good at them to profit from the scaling.
