subject selected for year 11 2004 (1 Viewer)

[passionfruit]

Hey! Jus wondering what every1 has decided to do for yr.11..

my subjects chosen are :
Adv English
3u maths
Biology
Economics
Business Studies
Physics

But im thinking to do modern history instead of physics or bio..

Anyway let me know

 

[kimmeh]

to be honest with you, physics and bio isnt a good combo.. mainly because chemistry involves both of them in some way or another, and unis usually like people doing chemistry fro science degreee. i do all three sceinces (phys/chem/bio) and i find biology and chemistry link. and physics and chem link. but i dont find any link between physics and biology. without chem. theres a "missing link"-i think its just wrong. i personally love biology.. the prelim courses for both physics and chem are boring, i can tell you that.
whether you're deciding to pick modern over either of the other subsjects is really up to you. ask yourself
+are you interested ?
+do you think you'll enjoy it?
+is your decision solely based on you, not anyone else?
+do you think you'll be able to handle it?
i obviuosly dont do modern, so i really cant judge which is the better

 

[iambored]

i agree unis generally look for chem, notthe other 2

im doing

chemistry
physics
modern (i dont friggen want to)
business (also dont want to)
english STD
Maths Gen (im crap at maths but am thinking about changing to 2u cos i will have it as a prequisite and hopefully it wont count for my uai lol genius aint it)


and dontt do modern (u seem to be a science person like me rulesss man not memorising factsss)

 

[santaslayer]

why r u doin mordern if u dun wanna friggin do it?

 

[sam04u]

it was either modern the 2 sport subjects (everything else was full!!)

we had to pick our subjects halfway thru year 10..and i realised after the sc that i dont want to do both bio and physics! so hopefully i can change my subjects once school starts..

also i modern history any good?
i liked history in yr 10 and i got 95 in the sc..

a) why are you picking modern then?
b) you'll find that if you do general maths, then you'll find physics a bit hard. i know some schools, if you want to do phsyics, then you have to do 3 unit maths. both courses will overlap in the HSC courses, so it would be easier. I know in year 11, my friends did 2 unit maths and they found it rather hard. and the ones that did general, didnt do well at all... sorry to scare you, but i think you should at least try to do 2 unit and stay on top if you're plannign to keep physics .. my 2 cents ..

bah 3 unit maths if u wanna do phys ?
thats crazy

but anyway remember

Physics = math = equations

 

[kimmeh]

but theres a trends though at various school. my friends school, they reccomended ext 1 maths for software, and obviuosly, you have some people who dont listen, and all the people who did ext 1 topped SDD. people in my school, those who topped phsyics all did ext 1 maths..

Why business is one of the most interesting and easiest subjects!

bah bah bahhhh

maths has little or no relevance in physics (only veryy general mathematics is needed in physics its just the level needed to apply it which makes physics difficult)

for eg. yr10 physics (= yr 7 maths...)

it does in the HSC year..i can se where you're going at sam04u, you're only talking about applications and concepts. what i'm talking about is saving your time studying and trying to understand things that you wont understand, when you alrerady know it, as they tend overlap in both courses. i found that 4 unit maths was in physics too (circular motion, centripetal motion). 3 unit maths in physics comes under projectiles. it places you (if youre doing ext 1 math) at a greater advantage over those that do just 2 unit maths. this doesnt mean that you cant come first in physics doing general or no maths at all.

wow, everyone ive talked to are doing really tech subjects

mine are

3u english
2u maths
visual art
multimedia
society&culture
studies in religion

will those be graded badly when it comes to UAI?

Legal Studies
Modern History
Ancient History

Should be fun, especially history
