URGENT PLEASE HELP

Hi I am a year 10 student choosing my subjects tomorrow and I am thinking about doing
I am worried it might be too content heavy with modern history but I think Modern history seems interesting like only some parts of it but legal studies a bit of it seems boring I don't know if i should do modern history or legal. Because modern history is harder and legal is easier so whats your advice. I ALSO THINK I CAN ACHIEVE HIGHER ATAR WITH LEAGL SINCE IT IS EASIER AND LESS ESSAYW RITING BUT MODERN SEEMS MORE INTERESTING SO SHOULD I DO LEGAL OR MODERN

I didnt take modern but I did take legal so I cant compare but legal and business fits pretty well together (depending on ur chosen options). Im not sure how much writing modern does but legal does have a lot of writing. You have to write 3 essays that are worth 65% of your exam mark. I found legal pretty interesting tho.

Hello nerdy153,

While the decision is up to you, I prefer modern to legal, in terms of content... Both a viable options however 🙂
I doubt the difference in ATAR if you choose modern over legal will be significant.

Hope this helps,

yeah in our school you only get accepted to 4U math if your marks are good enoguh from 3u in yr11
your school is fucking with people's atar. Fuck them.

a 70 in 4u (40% in the actual hsc exam) is better than a 90% in studies of religion or another crappy subject ur forced to take in lieu of 4u math
