10 Units or more for Year 12? What are you doing? (1 Viewer)

[JamiL]

jamil - haha, i'm having enough trouble passing my own oh, and i'm a girl

i figured... lol im not that slow

 

[**freakstar87**]

i'm doing 12 units this year. 12 units for yr 12 at the moment since none of my subjects offer extension units, doing great in all subjects in terms of ranking(except chem but i am passing) and i don't want to drop chem since i'm already doing tutoring and have just regain interest in the topics. hehehehe.

 

[JamiL]

im doin 13, but completed 2 so ill only have 11u... even though 2u maths doesn count, ill have those classes as frezz

 

[paper cup]

Jamil, I am now officially jealous.

I'm doing 14 units and I have had no frees for the entire duration of senior school. Damn me for being all studious and picking up everything with the word 'extension' in it.

 

[JamiL]

i was thinkn of doin 14 bu i dont think so... i havent had a free this year, but i will soon

 

[**freakstar87**]

i haven't got any free periods this yr either. hopefully i do next yr if i stick to 12 units

 

[paki_diva]

I'm doing 13 units this yr...and will drop 2 units...basically coz free periods r too tempting

hey Dirk. If you are planning to do futher science courses in the future that will need chemistry it may be wise to keep that subject. But danger... keep in mind it is the marks that get you into uni. Most people at my school are achieving poor results in chemistry because they choose that subject to be smarties. Don't fall into that trap, especially if you will never need it. I am planning to do medicine next year and the only subject that applies is Biology. This is a subject that i really enjoy because i can relate it back to medicine. And as a resuolt i am coming top of the class. Current score 98%.

Although chemistry is a prerequisit for some medical courses, most are open and are assumed knowledge. Chemistry may also be taught by bridging courses before or during entrence to uni. Finally keep in mind that if you drop a subject to 10 units they must all count towards your final score. I was brave and risked it... and i believe i am achieving higher marks than i would have got if i kept the other 2 units of PDHPE...But anyway it is your decision. Besides, you have more time to study.. Just don't goof off and waste your time- be wise!!!

Hope this helps.Trent

[Old_Sk3wl]

im going my same 12 units in the hsc (maths, chem, physics, adv english, IT and ancient history) that way if i bomb out really badly in one, the mark gets ignored

 

[redbloodedwoman]

don't fall in the trap of doing more units for HSC, what you have to realise is that only 10 of these units you are doing will be counted towards your uai. SO if you are performing well in your subjects (and i don't mean getting over 50%) then stick with 10 units and spend your time concentrating on those units.

On the other hand, if you don't think you are doing well, then stick with 12 units, 13 max. Trust me,I know, my friend did 14 units for her hsc, she was stuffed. 1 unit subjects are crap, they may scale you up, but don't fall into the trap. In order to be "scaled up" you need to get 49/50 for your assessments. If you can achieve this score, than go for it.

I strongly suggest doing 10 units. Less worries, more concentration on subjects u need!

 

[(^o^)]

shut up coroneos
i'm doin 13 ... ... ten n u are stuck in there foreva

15units.....
3U maths
SOR 1
2U adv eng
chem
phys
geog
art + extension (3U)

WOOT... i'm lovin' it.

 

[lunatique56]

hey janice, is that counted as 3unit art?! reeli?? But it won't go towards our final art HSC marks right *looks doubtful*?

er...I'm still juggling with my decision whether to do 10, 11 or 12 units. lol. so decisive.
but current, it stands:
3 unit maths
2 adv english
1 ext english
2 physics
2 art

so that's 10. Still need to decide whether I'm capable of 4 unit or not. And dunno whether I should drop design n technology since that would mean I've got two major works and frankly, I'm not a very motivated person.

ho hum.
