Other subjects like psych and PE?

Two questions here

(1) If I wanted to do PE 3/4 next year, would it be worthwhile doing Biology 1/2, for some strange reason my school offers PE 3/4 but not 1/2

(2) Incase I change my mind about PE, what are some other subjects like Psych and PE, as in those which have multi choice and short answer, and where you can Rote Learn the whole course :D
NO essays :D

So far the only three I can think of are Psych, Bio and PE.... are there any others???? Thanks for the help

IT: Applications has MC questions and people have learnt the whole course in less than 2 days .. the SACs are completely different to that of the exam... so you can ace the SACs with an A+ and to get a 40+ you would only need to consolidate an A+ on the exam (which is relatively easy to do if you pay attention and understand the basic course outline and structure)..

It is turning out to be one of my best subjects (97% for unit 3 coursework) and I know that I will get the same for unit 4 (the sacs are piss easy) .. it's just the exam I need to focus on - and from what I can remember the cut off rate for an A+ was something like 140/180 for last years exam

Yeah, IT Apps fits that mould, there's not much content and the concepts are easy to grasp - however, the marks are in how you apply your knowledge to the given question. Some questions are freebies -

Quote from: VCAA IT Apps Exam 2007
To protect emails sent via the Internet, users should:
A. backup the emails.
B. encrypt the emails.
C. carbon copy the emails.
D. blind carbon copy the emails.

- although most rely on common sense and application of the theory.

You might want to check the prequisites for the course you want to do, too - Bio might be a good choice to keep your options open.

Health is also good.
Pretty easy to pick up, and its alot of rote learning, although some interpreting graphs and stuff, but nothing difficult.
But I'd definitely recommend bio and p.e... both great subjects!

we use live it up and nelson interchangably
mainly nelson but live it up for further reading as it explains some things better

a high A at least but more likely an A+
