This thread has the majority saying Psych with the exception of Rohitpi's vehemence against it.

The psych 'majority' of yours have deemed 4 of your posts in this thread a -5 community respect... (AN record?)

Please stop generalizing about what score is good or not, yes I wasn't happy with my Geo score, but I would  be a douchebag if I went around in public saying I did poorly, because to most of the state it is a good score.


Anyway we should keep this on topic, though I don't think the thread is going anywhere :P
Taiga, you told me yourself you weren't happy which I take as permission to just state a fact. If it was anyone else I would not comment but I knew your aims, school etc.

Besides you called my subject useless ::)

This thread has the majority saying Psych with the exception of Rohitpi's vehemence against it.

haha maybe you got me, but I did rectify it in the next post in which I did in fact recommend psychology.

never take my word as fact, or you will get nowhere LOL, and no one knew my aim for geo LOL

Why don't you actually read the thread where Psych is endorsed for being less english-like and easier.

Psychology is much easier than legal. You actually need to be able to write well in order to get into the 40s, as opposed to psychology, which is essentially multiple-choice questions and short answers. And the good thing is that if you are thinking of studying law in uni, VCE legal studies can be some sort of indicator, of the content you would be looking at for law in uni, though it is a much more simplified version. But in the end, it depends on where your interest lie.

If you're not serious about both, or want to know the easiest selection in regards to legal or psychology, pick psychology. you'll find it easier to grasp the concepts as opposed to legal which requires dedicative effort and thorough refinement of response skills. pick psychology; I do both so I would know (:

Can't be bothered posting more.

Easiness doesn't equate to 'betterness' or higher study scores. Nor does 'less English-likeness'. Every subject contains and needs English knowledge!

I meant Legal has full short-answer questions with essay-like answers and Psych has half MCQ. The distinction is clear.

+1, I think ATAR's missing the point (and hence, now this thread is too)

Psychology helps with picking up girls. Hence, why you should study psychology.

Legal won't pick up girls, if you intend to impress her with cases of child abuse and peace organizations.

About Philosophy

When I see a youth thus engaged,—the study appears to me to be in character, and becoming a man of liberal education, and him who neglects philosophy I regard as an inferior man, who will never aspire to anything great or noble. But if I see him continuing the study in later life, and not leaving off, I should like to beat him - Callicle

Yeah, the distinction is very, very clear, and I think that distinction was made 3 pages ago. The point is, the structure of an exam isn't exactly proportionate to a higher study score in a subject.

Lol what? Your missing the point - LEGAL IS MORE ENGLISH-BASED hence your post of 'everything needs english' is too generic.

It's up to the OP to decide if he/she likes English or not.

Legal Studies can help some people when it comes to picking up girls, letting them know whats Legal, and what isn't

Well you've got to know how to apply the language to do ANY exam don't you?! Just because Legal has a more English-based kind of exam doesn't mean that it's any easier/harder to get high marks in, IMO anyway.

Yes to bolded statement. No to non-bolded statement - like I said, depending on the English skill of the person!
I for one SUCK. Not all of us pull off 35 Study scores with one essay werdna...
