LOL well if you do equally well in both - I'd suggest taking Chemistry - mainly because it scales higher and opens a lot more opportunities in terms of university courses.

Thanks for the reply , and yeah I agree with you, although I do enjoy Biology alot more - probably because its easier.

I got a better rank in Chemistry in my half yearlies report, but then things went down from there. Mainly due to the Practical Task, I did awful in the experiments..I'm more into theory than practical work I guess. But I think that may be risky since 45% of Chemistry is practical work & I can handle Biology pracs better, seeing as they're hardly experiments lol mostly just putting 2 and 2 together and observing

Oh, shame. Good luck anyway, Dresden.

You're welcome.

I'd recommend waiting to see your Chemistry ranking and mark and compare it to Biology in your Prelim report. If it's higher or equal - stick with chem, otherwise I'd say go to Biology (because scaling will only work if you do well in the subject - and it's more beneficial to do well in Bio than to do crap in Chem).

Choose Chemistry over PDHPE (if anyone cares the slightest) - could be a silly choice based on results.

Still tossing between Biology or Chemistry.

i had the same problem. i chose chem, coz its recommended for so many uni courses.

But at the same time, that shouldn't be your only consideration.

it wasn't. i want to do med, and chem is recommended for that. and also coz chem seems more useful in general.
and of course it scales better

Well all those reasons make it an informed decision.

hey
am keeping :
english standard
math 2u
legal studies
business studies

and am thinking of dropping
bio or chem but which 1 or shld i jst keep both of them

bio i get but chem am a bit confused

am aiming 4 85-88 UAI

keep both for at least until half yearlies i think then u can decide, thats if u really cant decide wich one u want to drop now

QFT.

All asians (generally speaking) in year 11 do: 3u eng, 3u math, phys, eco and chem. Then (generally speaking again) in year 12 they do: 2u eng, 4u math, phys, eco and chem.

I would say at least 50% of the year would do those 5 subjects in year 12.

do u mean of our yr? thats not possible, only 120 people can do 4unit maths and 120 do phys and chem so definitely not true

 

[lyounamu]

At my school, the class for 4unit maths is 8? 2 years back it was 3. Yes, maths is very popular at my school

We will probably have few doing mx2 next year - 2 people from non-accelerants and about 8 from current accelerants.

sure is u see, our school is all asian, and u know wat they think? 4u good scaling, i better do it hence the large amounts of people doing it

lol. I don't think I am Asian enough then...I don't do 4 unit for scaling, it's for one of my future career - actuary. I wouldn't do 4 unit for scaling...

If you fuck up scaling won't do anything for you.

i dunno why i'm doing it, i guess its just expected for me coz i'm doing well in 2unit and i liked 2unit sooo i guess thats why i'm doing it and also the fact that if i dont do it i wont have enough units

Lol, yeah. You don't have enough units...

thats wat everyone doesn't know,they dont know how scaling works they're like "naah even if u get 0 they'll scale u up to 99 or soemthing"
that is wat some people think with a bit of exagerration lol
