How many units and what subjects?? (1 Viewer)

[ToO LaZy ^*]

hey..
someones prolly asked what subjects everyones doin, but i just wanna know in units wise..
feel free to list ur subjects ...

im only doing 11 units: 4u math, adv eng, sor1, biz, eco

and do you think the more units you do, the better chance of getting a higher UAI?..
what are ur thoughts?

 

[Heinz]

I think the general trend is that if you do more units, you get a higher UAI. for example, those people who do in excess of 15units. Personally, i do 13 units for a couple of reasons. Having backup being one and secondly because im equally strong across all my subjects.

 

[ToO LaZy ^*]

mmm...i would agree, but its just that...u can spend more time concentrating on the subjects that ur doing or good at.
having 'backup subjects' would help if ur stuffing up on one, but with less subjects to deal with, u can spend more time on 5 subjects instead of 7 or 8

yeah... thats good for me... my uai should be pretty high with 15+ units.

Im doing 12 units in Yr11
and 11units in yr 12...

 

[cro_angel]

i did 14 in year 11.. 11 in year 12
dont regret dropping.. i regret picking it up in the first place
(damn geography)

 

[kimmeh]

i do 12 for now.. i need to see if PSCAIS counts from my assesment first before i can say its my 13th unit

for the rest of the subs, check in my profile

 

[santaslayer]

prelim: 14
HSC : 12

SUBS:

adv eng
eco
biz
legal
2uRE
G Maths
IPT

Dropped: ipt...coz of shit scaling and excessive homework
UAI : 91.15 ( maths didnt count)

 

[santaslayer]

and no.....more units just equals more work......dont fall for the trap of doing more than 12 units.....15 is too excessive, u'll just end up doing a lot more work than required.
12 units is good (presuming u do all 2 unit subjects) as that allows u breathing space if u stuff up 1 sub
i know people who only did 10 units and got 99.85+.....just concentrate on acheiving high marks in ur small number of subs rather than spreading ur concentration over 100 million diff subs

enuff sed

 

[ToO LaZy ^*]

i totally agree with u...
i only do 11 and i concentrate most on all of them...except studies of religion 1..erhhh, so boring

 

[Xayma]

I do 11 units, have at least some backup but it will stop me from making a subject a bludge subject since it will count.

 

[alby]

prelim: 12 u
hsc: 11 u...only really cuz o rel..oh well, my bro sed u can split 2u's for d top 10 units dat dey count..so yay 4 dat

What about people doing more than 15?

 

[cro_angel]

why would u do more than 15 units??? well unless u did like all extension subjects and u had to have 4 different subjects.. like 4u maths 4u english 3u history 3u something else..
well thats still 14
i did 14 last yr.. it sucked
on my bday i had like 4 assessments due..

People who do more than 15 units are usually those who have accelerated in earlier years. And since they already completed couple of subjects which are likely to be in the top bands, then they have a good chance of getting a very high UAI.

 

[Seraph]

far out

they never offered us Accelerated SDD in year 10

but funny , the year before us had the opportunity to do it

Grrrr

 

[suz]

In both prelim and hsc i did 13 units(which I regret so much)
I did;
sor 1
english adv
general maths
legal
pdhpe
italian
greek
I ended up doing better than I expected (92.8) but the subject I didn't want to count (pe) ended up counting which was shit because I spent so much time on Greek which didn't count, 1 unit of maths also didn't count
My advice only do 11 or 12 units MAX otherwise you will go nuts and not leave yourself enough time

im doing 11 at the moment but i plan to drop ee2 on monday...so then ill have ten...abit worried but i think it'll be better coz i have trouble focusing on too many things at once...ill only have 4 subjects to worry about from monday onward so ill have to make sure i get into band 6 for all of them since i dont have any back ups
