    Yeah well I am an electronic and robotic enthusiasts and i was thinking of making something that reflected my passions and hobbies, so something electronic/robotic. Do you think that would go well for a major work?

    Scaling

    yeah but isnt it better to hit year 12 knowing your exact plan of attack. Plus keeping a subject (and trialing it out) for the first term will just lower the potential marks in other subjects since time is marks essentially

    Scaling

    Im kinda just trying it out. I might drop throughout the year if im not enjoying it. The reason why I picked it up was because I did really well in history for pre-lims and ive got probably the best teacher in the state. So i dunno seemed like a good idea

    Scaling

    Yeah true. That's kinda how i felt in Chem this year for year 11, it was such a trek mainly because of teacher and the content (compared to physics it was awful). What's your opinion on D.T scaling? Are you doing D.T this year?

    Scaling

    Thanks for the replies... Still undecided.. From what i've researched (looking at the UAC scaling table A3) Getting in the 99th percentile for D.T (top 1%) is the same as getting in the 90th percentile for chem.... That seems really hard......

    Ancient History Vs Modern History

    I beg to differ. The teacher is the communicator of the subject. If the subject's content is being communicated in a boring and unexciting manner then the students are obviously going to dread the subject and not enjoy their experience, thus not enjoy the content.

    Ancient History Vs Modern History

    Update post! I eventually chose Ancient, I've now been doing ancient for almost 3 terms and I am loving it. So glad I picked ancient over modern since I hear that a lot of the modern classes are dreading every period, while we Ancient guys are loving every second of our class. I guess it just...

    Ancient History Vs Modern History

    That's exactly right... but I'm already doing hard subjects and this is more of a backup subject than anything since I'm doing 13 units...tbh ancient seems really interesting in year 12 but year 11 seems (and has been so far) quite boring.... Whereas Modern seems better throughout year 11 and...

    Ancient History Vs Modern History

    Modern seems more interesting but isn't it harder than Ancient or is this a misconception I have? I've heard that Modern requires more essay writing than Ancient (atleast in the final HSC exam).

    Need your opinion

    I am in year 11 and I am not sure whether or not I've made the right decision, I recently changed from Ancient History to Business studies on the basis that it will be more useful and the fact that my school goes really well at the subject. So based of your opinion which subject is better...
