I would suggest if you want to do a History in year 11 and one in year 12, that it would be easier to do Revs in year 11. I did Revs in year 11 and I'm now doing Renaissance, and I'm finding Renaissance more difficult than Revs (although Ren is way more interesting).
I would think it would be better to do the easier history in year 11 and do the harder one in year 12 (and then you would have gained all this experience at being able to write answers and being able to study for a 3/4 history, etc).

And don't do Further Maths. From what I've heard (from my friends) it's really boring and they wish they did another subject. And if you lose a few marks here and there your grade goes down a lot (you have to be perfect to get a high score in it).

So... choose history, but just swap the order around.
2007 - History Revolutions (35)
2008 - English (40), Literature (37), National Politics (37), Maths Methods (32), History Renaissance (39)
ENTER: 93.20

2009 - Bachelor of Arts (ANU)
2010 - Bachelor of Classical Studies (ANU)
Majors: Ancient Greek, Ancient History, Archaeology

Correction: history is the most boring crap you could do ever in your life. It'll be worse than watching gay pornography.

Only a really ignorant individual would regurgitate such an uninformed, offensive and utterly disdainful comment. Really classy man! I really like the way you think.. or not.

Again, I'm a biased person, but I'd say go for Revs. I think it's a fabulous subject! A few marks dropped in further can really be costly, and it's a marked down subject, which is not the case for Revs. And - I see that you're doing UMEP History, which I've heard is basically about Revolutions. So think about it this way - UMEP History+VCE Revs=1.5 subjects :P You'll get a decent overlap, but not enough to make you bored of it. So in effect, by doing your reading for one of those subjects, you've already done a lot of reading for the other, which saves you a good amount of time. I'm in the same situation, but with different subjects - I'm doing VCE English Language, but I'm also taking UMEP Linguistics, and I'm finding that they really complement each other nicely, having been through a whole semester already. Hope that helps somewhat :)

Why do people incessantly have this Arts vs Science debate, it achieves nothing.  If Science students spent half the time they spent baiting Arts students, we'd probably have eternal life already!  Grow up!

Yes, the Arts Vs Science debate seems to be highly prevalent on this forum, as highlighted by an "Arts criticism thread" which surfaced some time ago. Some people just have nothing better to do than to post provocative and offensive material in an attempt to detract from the actual topic being dealt with.

Personally, I think that if someone concentrated on maths subjects and maths subjects only, they wouldn't have a very "expanded" mind at all.

Do something different. You already have a maths and history subject so why not go for something different? Experiment with a different subject instead of focussing on a streams of subjects your already doing it...
Personally i find those who do the 'asian 5' as people who are so scared of trying something different that they just go for what their good at, or are so scared to not achieve the enter score their parents want them to get.
