Help with subject selection. (1 Viewer)

[theone4]

Yeh i know you're probably sick of all of these popping up, but i would appreciate any help given.
I'm hoping to study Med at uni and become a doctor/surgeon/specialist in the future also.
The subjects i'm going with are going to be:

3U Maths
3U English
2U Chem
2U Bio
2U Drama
2U Ancient

The reason i have 14 units is because at my school you can't pick 2 extensions without having 13/14 units in case u wish to drop 1 in year 12.
And i'm definitely picking Drama, coz even though it's not on my set career path, it's probably the only subject i really enjoy.

The main problems i'm having are:
Am i pushing myself doing 2 extensions? Or should i just do 2U maths?
Is it necessary to do Bio? Will physics benefit me more?
Which one would you recommend: Ancient or Modern?
Are the ones i picked good in scaling terms?

Thanks in advance for all help.

Am i pushing myself doing 2 extensions? Or should i just do 2U maths?

No, so long as you have the aptitude for both subjects and you enjoy them you'll be fine

Is it necessary to do Bio? Will physics benefit me more?

Bio would be much more beneficial for med; physics is only a bit useful for electrical engineering.

Which one would you recommend: Ancient or Modern?

Modern - i personally would prefer to learn about politics and it has the better scaling. But really, it's up to you - just do whichever one you're more interested in.

Are the ones i picked good in scaling terms?

They're all fine, except ancient and drama only have good scaling compared to the rest. You're going to have to ace most of your subjects if you want to do med, so just do subjects that you are good at and enjoy (at at least can tolerate)

I'll probably go with Modern, thanks for your help.

Modern FTW! Just make sure that you wouldn't mind doing the options your school will be doing

 

[ehtefaz.hedayet]

I would go with Modern as i herd that Ancient is really boring

Yeh Modern History!!

MODERN HISTORY is awesome.

Absolutely modern over ancient. I did both and dropped ancient as soon as I could. I love modern. WWI shouldn't be the compulsorary topic tho.
Something like the cold war would be so much more enlightening.

+1 that is probably all the info you will need.
