Hardest mainstream VCE subjects? (POLL)

[Hellhole]

I voted English/Chinese/Revs. Simply 'cause there are just too many variables for me to remember. :\

I'd say english/lit as there is no formulaic way to learn or study... also very subjective and no right or wrong!!

[burbs]

I hear bio is like psych.
Gonna put it out there - Legal is the hardest commerce subject.

[taiga]

Put Chinese/Spec/Revs.

Where the fuck is geo?

However I am confidently sure most people who voted Spec haven't done the subject, the complexity of ideas is not tremendously hard to grasp. Still voted for it because I don't think there are enough humanities/obscure subjects up there (which are difficult to do well in).

Economics has some tough concepts.
It's my hardest subject.

[xZero]

Personally English is the hardest and I don't see why specialist is rated the hardest, I reckon the difficulty of spesh is actually on par with Method

That's the best bit really.. Your answer is "right" as long as you have the evidence to back it up.. And the only subjective part is the link between your point and the evidence you utilised oh and the link to the topic. But all those are overcome with well written explanations.

So english really shouldn't be hard (nevertheless, I still suck xD)

I voted further. But scaling makes the question obsolete.

[Darren]

maybe it should be rephrased then; the hardest subject to do well in or the hardest subject in terms of content
that'd change the poll completely

Yes, that would change the results of the poll completely. For example, bio is easy to understand but really hard to do well in

Spesh is not as monstrously difficult as everyone makes it out to be. In my opinion, sose subjects are harder to do well in because of the pathetic cohort they attract  (not generalising or trying to say anyone who takes it is a dumbass, but in my school sometimes this proves to be true). Also, because of the way you have to answer and memorise things for health and human development as seen from my friends' experiences, I'd say it is fairly difficult than something like methods where you can answer with a number and be sure it's 100% correct.
Back to specialist- for those comfortable with methods, particularly calculus, it's not THAT hard. Of course, if you're a weak maths student, any "advanced" maths is difficult. But I find it's so unfair on the other students, who do humanities subjects, who suffer occasional social snobbery because they picked such a subject, and who suffer lower scaling, and who are already on an uphill battle sometimes to do well yet when they do get a 40 for it just get the "Oh but that's because they did THIS subject" dismissal.
Specialist kids, on the other hand, get nice scaling (compared to humanities subjects, yessss I know +9 seems to suck), and if they had a stable maths foundation, isn't that bad to get 30-35 in.

Personally, I've always thought of myself as "lucky" that I liked to do subjects that scaled up and enjoyed maths.

[Darren]

true. eg. you could learn all the math content and know how to apply it etc; be brilliant at maths hands down you're guaranteed a good score because its objective. for humanities some questions actually can be a bitch to answer despite you learning ALL the content, they just like to throw in the random foreign baconstrip which derails people, which is what screwed me over this yr in history ;|

Revolutions is pretty underrated. I think it is ridiculously hard. Very misguiding too, especially for enthusiastic students who undertake History 1&2, thinking that simply learning history will give you a good score.
