Anyone doing both maths and english extensions together atm? (1 Viewer)

[itszen]

hey is anyone doing both maths and english extensions? Hows the workload? Is it too hard to do? Wells im hoping to do both of them but im scared i might cant handle the workload and i MIGHT pick up another extension in year 12 which is history extension? Too much or what?

Doing both extensions is possible. I did both for this year and scored pretty decent-good marks in both. But, I will tell you now that doing both extensions with 14 units is going to kill you. I tried doing what you did (14 units with both extensions) but sooner or later, some of your subjects are gonna give. For me, that was Physics and Engineering. Dropped Engineering and then everything was better.
Give it a go first, then see which subjects you start to lag behind/lose interest in and drop them.

very possible. some of my friends regret not doing both extensions

I am, with 16 units currently (despite what the sig says) - so what I'm doing is waiting until I get my report and then deciding. Might as well learn something rather than sitting there doing nothing for the lessons...

but a guy in year 12 at our school did both 4u english and 4u maths, but he didn't cope. he pretty much.. was close to the bottom in terms of ranks. but then again, I guess it depends on the person.

I did 4U Maths and 3U English. It wasn't as bad as it's cracked up to be.

I did both extension 1's. It's managable. Both extension 2's is possible as well, but you have to be dedicated.

I'm doing MX2 and EX2 - I like it. You just have to be good at Maths to do MX2, and to do EX2, you just have to be very dedicated to do the research - along with having great creative writing skills.

I have a friend who does MX1 and EX2. Seems to cope, then again MX2 is a whole 'nother story.

I do Ext 1 English and Ext Music
Thank god I don't have to put up with 3U maths, I literally got raped by it in yr 11 :angry:

Heaps of people in my year are doing both extensions. Theres quite a few people doing Ext english and maths. It depends on how hard you work, much you like the subjects, and how talented you are at them. Honestly, doing 14 units is more of an issues than doing both extensions. Just take them and plan to drop to 12/13 units after half yearlies.

I'm doing 4U Maths and 3U English. It's not bad, in fact I quite like it.

I'm doing Extension 2 Maths and I find the workload overwhelming. I guess I'm just shit at managing my time.

I get home, and all i can finish is one subject
kiss goodbye to ATAR 98
kiss goodbye to ATAR 95
and hello TAFe
