I'm doing MX2 Pe Bio Chem with SOR1 Std Eng.
Im good at maths and im in top 10% for Pe and Bio at a school with 500 people in my year, but im only top 40% in chem.

is it worth keeping chem and having 13 units?

depends if you have other commitments?

Yeah think we started with 550 now we are somehwere between 450-500.


Are there any Uni courses that you defo need to do chem in year 12 for?

Is there any reason to keep it other than the safty blanket of having 13 units?

 

[Mu5hi]

what school could possibly have 500 in a year

 

[kbsb]

cherrybrook tech?????

My school is a senior school we only have year 11 and 12, so its only a bit over 1000 students or something.

So by still doing bio i shouldnt be missing out on any uni courses?

 

[bob fossil]

i think so but it may depend cheak out what you want to do first but you should be safe i think

Going have a crack at diagnostic radiography but i dunno if ill get 88

@OP - what's your school rank and do you know how many people usually get a band 5/6 in chem for your school?

Drop chemistry dude.
SFX has never produced decent results in chemistry.
In 07 there were 2 band 6's out of 70 or something
08 there was 3.
Majority of the teachers teach chem poorly.
The percentage of band 5/6's is well below the state average.

Pretty much the reason im going so shithouse to chem lol the teach will talk about off the syllebus topics and waste our time. I end up having to teach myself the course at exam time.

The opposite happens for bio at my school lol

Thanks for all your help guys
