Should I switch from PDHPE to Physics? (1 Viewer)

[genodeg]

I'm currently taking:

• 
  Business
  Economics
  Ext1 Maths
  Advaned Mathematics
  Ext 1 English
  Advanced English
  PDHPE

I sorta feel uncomfortable taking PDHPE in addition to Business as they're two poor scaling subjects, I know scaling isn't as important as something I can do well at blah blah, however, I don't find myself enjoying PDHPE as much as I expected to, and in tenth grade, I enjoyed physics and managed to score relatively well in it ( I think i received a 90 in the semester of which we did physics

any feedback would be much appreciated.

PS. As we are currently going into tests in the coming weeks, I feel as if it would be better to postpone the switch until after the tests, so I'll have a quiet area to spend my spare time catching up on the semester one syllabus rather than studying for all of my subjects

In senior years you should choose subjects you enjoy and are good at. I'd say you should switch from PDHPE to Physics as you're not enjoying PDHPE - hense not as motivated to do well. If you believe you will benefit more from taking physics, go for it! However, there is a huge jump in difficulty from year 10 to year 11 science, but your marks sound great.

Good luck!

Are you sure you can switch? It's almost half way through the course.

If you think you would enjoy it much more, and will perform better I would move.
Also this is prelim you only need to know certain parts of the syllabus for HSC.

Good luck

Not sure if you can pick up or drop any more subjects since its half way through the year...

This ^.

But if you can I'd say give it a go. You don't seem to be enjoying PDHPE and Physics is a great subject. I disliked Physics all the way up until Yr10 when all of a sudden I started to enjoy it and this year it's great.

If you want to pick up Physics, it will be extremely challenging because you have to demonstrate competency in all the physics that you have missed out on so far, I strongly recommend you to ask your teacher for advice. Best wishes for your senior studies
