HI there

I'm going to be doing electrical engineering, and I was wondering if I should do Higher Maths and/or Higher Physics

In the HSC i got 94 for physics, 95 for extension 1 and 89 for extension 2.

Would doing the Higher subjects help me in my degree at all, or are they too difficult? I'd be interested to hear your opinions


Thanks!

First of all for physics, its nothing like the kind of "compare and contrast" and "critically analyse" physics you've done in high school. Its all about calculations and problem solving.

In first year the difference between higher and normal is somewhat negligible, with those results I'd say yeah go higher. You can always drop down.
