PDHPE FOR YR 11? SUBJECT SELECTION (2 Viewers)

[zizi2003_]

As my English teacher put it, in light of the Olympics this year: "Year 11 is your training, Year 12 is your Olympic marathon."

Depends on the subject and how you find yourself going in each, as well as your own ability. If you're aiming for a 99+ ATAR be prepared to dedicate a lot of time to each subject.
Once you hit a band 6, it takes a lot of effort to push to a 95+ mark

 

[yao_jahang]

sorry for all the questions. I just really want a 95 + atar to get into bachelor of biomedicine.

 

[may22]

haha. im sorry. my bad.

Haha, why are you sorry for? I was admiring your talent lol

 

[yao_jahang]

nah nah. didn't want to make you feel bad for yourself

Yeah it takes a lot of work. Even though I'm not in year 12 yet, I can see how far I've come from the beginning of Year 11 and it's satisfying. If you're motivated -- and you sound like you are -- you'll take pride in improving and putting in the effort

Haha, all good, I do a bunch of other extra-curriculars, just nothing very art-sy or creative lol

Favourite to least favourite:

1. Extension 1 English --> I'm lucky to be in a small class, and we have a lot of discussions. It's a very independent-based subject, and my teacher is amazing lol. The texts we are doing are very interesting, and I love looking at the connection between language and what is being conveyed, especially the commentary on society. The assessments were quite fun for this subject too

2. PDH --> very easy, very straightforward. I relate to it a lot, especially the core topic 'Body in Motion' since I play a sport. And I loved the anatomy section, even though it wasn't that in-depth. Also, the core topic of First Aid was interesting and helpful

3. Bio --> I found prelim pretty straightforward, not too hard. I like being challenged to write my answers in the best way to get a band 6. Can't wait for year 12 though, because that will be way more interesting

4. Advanced English --> not my favourite, but still enjoyable. I have the same teacher as extension English, which makes this even better. The texts were fine. I guess why this is ranked lower is because the class is a lot bigger and not everyone participates in discussions. Plus, I find competition a little limited...there, but not quite enough

4. Chemistry --> I wouldn't say I despise chem, but it's definitely a love-hate relationship. Sometimes it's cool, sometimes I feel like slamming my head against the wall, but overall it's not too bad...

I have to rank chem and adv math the same...

4. Advanced math --> math has never been -- and will probably never be -- my favourite subject, even though I'm good at it...maybe because I hated it as a kid, and it gets so frustrating sometimes...I don't know. Some topics drive me up the wall, but I loved trig and calculus. Probability is annoying (I'm doing it as I type this lol)

5. Extension math --> don't get me wrong, the challenge was fun, and I'm doing well, relative to the rest of my class....and the fact that my teacher writes crazy-hard exams. I think for this subject I just lost some motivation; it's definitely the subject I have to spend the most time on and it's sort of draining. But my opinion is biased because...it's math lol
