when is it too late?

[hard]

amm does anyone if there is a last date for students in year 12 to change a subject? The reason i'm asking is because i called my teacher today, and he was a bit worried and he was like
   I'll try get you in bio before it's too late.

what does he mean by too late?

Too late as in if your subjects clash with Biology, or if there is only one class running and it is already in maximum capacity.

That or something else, maybe your school is tight and you have to do Units 1 &2 Bio before 3/4, like MHS and Macrob??

ahh ok.

What did he do in year 10, for units 1/2?

Too late as in:
- classes might have been filled
- timetables might have been created for the subject already; might lead to other subject timetable changes
- clash of subjects if you were to pick it up
There are a lot of possibilities/issues the school has to think about. Sounds easy to pick a subject up, but really, it's not.

Good luck though

dude dont stress. in year 12 i did a term and a half of methods before swapping into further. so unless your school has some psycho policy of not allowing such changes or the class is full, i dont see why you cant swap classes. biol would be difficult to pick up imo, unless you were willing to go over the unit 1/2 stuff to get a rough idea of concepts and stuff.

well i've nearly finished the 1st chapter and it's great so far. i think i can pick up. And to the former, i hope you're right.

hehe i know im right because i did it myself. =P just contact the school closer to when its about to start. i tried to do that, but the teachers were all like nah just wait it out and see how you go. but i hated it. couldnt stand the teacher enough to bother with trying to understand the course content. (which is pretty much what happened with my chem ss bahahaha.) anyway, a term and a half in i went the the vce coordinator and said enough is enough. he asked for a note from my mum, and i was out of that class straight away.

Why are you changing to BIO, you need chem for Med and Eng and other courses.

because i think i can do much better in bio than in chem.

hard: if its a prerequesite for your desired course it would be most unwise to drop chem. unless you plan on getting in post grad or something.

Last date to change subject is about the first week of Term 2

Tried to change a subject in the second week or so of Term 2 but was too late

nah there's only a few courses that require chem, to which i'm interested in. Most don't.
