What subjects do you want to do in yr 12? (1 Viewer)

[maplestory]

i wonder why everyone is mad with ext subs & 13units?
by doing onli 10units, u can get study periods!
wad do u think?

I guess ext. subjects look good when you're applying for courses at uni, plus they get scaled better (yes yes i know, scaling is overrated)

i don't care much for study periods, i have a defunct social life as it is - i have more than enough time on weekends to do all my work!

I do 12 units and I get free periods. And I don't want to do 13 units. Also, Etension sbujects are Extension, meant for more intelligent students (not necessarily the case, but it generally is). Since I can do well in such subjects, I take them.

Some people want to do more than 10 units worth of subjects i.e. me.

I never feel like studying at school. School is very unmotivating.

 

[ninetypercent]

I'll drop a 2 unit subject to pick up History Extension and 4 unit Maths.

 

[kiniki]

[Rose-xx]

Atm I do
Standard English
General Maths
IPT
Business Services

Most likely dropping legal.

 

[agirlinatutu]

Hoping for:

Ext 2 English
Advanced Maths
Dance
Legal Studies
Ancient

I cant even decide on a career let alone a UAI

i really don't think its worth doing more units than you need to in year 12.
i hate this 'just in case' attitude.
your not going to fuck up, and your less likely to when you have more time to pour into your subjects, you don't need insurance on your HSC, youll stiill get a UAI of 99.919293949549
EDIT: unless your actually keen as mustard to do a subject... i will probably end up doing 11U

i want to do 4U english, mathematics, society, mod history, ext history, PDHPE.
i will definately drop chemistry and either maths or society, not too sure about ext history as yet.

 

[iSplicer]

Extension 2 Math
Advanced English
Physics
Chemistry
Biology

UAI's occur in increments of 0.05.

 

[pillar]

I'm considering

maths extension 2
eng
chem
bio/physics

can't see myself bothering to do more than 10 units, and right now it's looking like bio > physics however depends if I rip up 4U Maths or not

 

[nhoustonrocks]

i'm currently considering:

mathematics/general mathematics (unsure yet)
english adv.
ancient history
geography
economics
extension history
possibly doing a fast-paced studies of religion course instead of bio since i'm currently self teaching bio because my teacher is terrible and can't teach.

i'll just wait and see how the yearly exams go and stuff.

 

[Lance Ga]

australian politic

OMFG everyone's hero!

Atm I do

typical combination that attracts a low UAI

do mathematics

Why does almost everyone on this thread seem to be disinclined towards chemistry? It's definitely the biggest bludge out of all my subjects.

i'm doing okay, 90%-96% for history, english and ext, art, sor but i got 40% for ext maths (death!) and my yr 12 rank for adv.maths isn't so great but hopefully i'll go better next year and chemistry is possibly the hardest subject ever , i got 50% in half yearly and that was 5th in the grade! (after 95, 93, 81 and 90 percent) big fat gap haha.

i wish i could drop chemistry but i need it for uni, aswell as ext maths I was thinking of dropping ext maths in favour for ext history next year, maybe.

i'm glad it's not just me who's finding chem impossibly difficult!

what exactly do you have to do for ext history? i heard it's similiar to ext 2 english, just handing in a massive essay at the end or what?

In response to your query regarding extension history; there is much more to it than just the major work (which mind you is internally marked unlike the Extension 2 English project which is externally marked). In extension history you not only complete the project but also study two components in class namely 'What is history?' (where you study the nature of history and explore the infinitely fascinating question of does history exist) and a Case Study e.g. At my school they do Elizabeth where you explore historians and historiography relating to the person/event. Note that there is an HSC exam (2 hours I think) for Extension History which includes two sections; an essay on the first component i.e. What is history where you include your in-class knowledge and include an unseen text and an essay on your case study.
Extension History is incredibly interesting but an insane amount of effort for a one unit subject. If you're not prepared to do a lot of reading (not only for your project but also for the other components) then maybe think about it carefully. I speak from experience; I took up extension history and then later dropped it because of the insane amount of work it required but that being said it is a fascinating course and I have many friends who greatly enjoy it. Possibly talk to your teachers if you are seriously considering it.
