Well, SoR1, is only 1 Unit, whereas SoR2 is 2 Units. You need a minimum of 12 Units in Year 11. So, if you have no opinion about what SoR you wanna choose, I'd recommend you choose all your other subjects first, and just fill the gap with your SoR.

I am not sure but I do think SOR goes to your UAI but not catholic studies? I could be wrong who knows. At my school neither counts to UAI as it is placed under the board endorsed list. Woops, my bad. It is a board developed coarse lol. But currently only offered in prelimary years. The subject selection booklet they gave me says SOR is a board endorsed subject.

Yep.

SOR I and SOR II go towards your UAI if they are your top 10 units. However, Catholic Studies won't. On top of that SOR II is a 2 Unit course and the number of religious traditions you learn are more than SOR I. In SOR I, you do 2 but in SOR II, I think you do 4-5 (e.g. Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, ancient religion and etc.)

On a side note, SOR II has a better scaling than SOR I.

Well it should be and therefore it is.

I dont think catholic studies is a board developed course nor would it count towards your UAI

 

[Aznmichael92]

catholic studies is most likely a board endorsed

 

[autumn-angel]

i didnt know about that though i didnt find it on the subject lists

Only choose Catholic Studies if you go to a Catholic School, and you know you're gonna fail religion, OR you can't be stuffed putting in the effort for another subject (SOR or SOR2). Because Catholic Studies (as previously mentioned) will not go to your UAI, so no point in doing something that doesn't count unless you have to.

um i think that is slightly wrong. I think tt does go to your hsc but not your UAI. There is a difference between HSC and UAI. The HSC is all the subjects you do and UAI is based on your best 8 units and 2 units of english.

Just curious as to why you'd pick a subject you dont like before your even in year 11? Unless you needed another unit?

It is 1 unit.

Yea, why would you bother to pick something you don't like?!? It's pretty stupid; thinking logically, if you don't like something you usually try not to spend much time doing anything with it, so why would you study for it. How would you get good marks? If there were no more subjects that you liked at all (which would be hard to happen... unless the lines are crap!) you can always try one of the online distance education courses.

>> I'm going to choose Engineering Studies for year 11 and it is only offered as the online course. I am going to strive to make sure that my school offers it as a school based course one day.
