Is picking up senior science in year 12 a good idea?
I do two other sciences chemistry and biology and I really enjoy the subjects.

why not pick up physics instead?

3 sciences can get a bit though. but i dont know about 3 sciences with senior science. it really depends on how you cope and if you stay on top of the work or not.

if you enjoy it then go for it!

good luck!

Someone should be moving this into the year 12 section of the board...

Uhmm, I think if you really think you'd enjoy the subject, give it a go. Though you should try not to overwhelm yourself. I mean, in the times you would have Senior Science, you could be studying your other subjects, and at the end of the day, you're here to get a high UAI/ATAR/Whythehelldidtheychangeit.

Good luck with everything :)

Useless unless you get to Top <1% of the state otherwise it'll affect your ATAR/UAI.

If you already do a specific science (as you said, chem and bio) you cannot choose Senior Science.

You can in Year 12.

In Year 11 you can only do Senior Science on its own but in Year 12 you can change into Senior Science, or pick it, so long as you have done a Preliminary Science course and then do Senior Science with another Science.
