How many units are you have in year 12? (3 Viewers)

[dan964]

So is 1 unit equal to a semester and a 2 unit subject is a full year subject? (Sorry, not a HSC student).
If that's so, than I'll be doing only 9 "units" next year (ATAR in SA is out out 9 units, or 8 before next year). I'm a little worried about having no backup subject, but the only other subject I'd consider doing is Accounting which I think will be on the same line as one of my other subjects, plus I've been advised not to pick up any subjects due to the difficulty of mine. /cry

nope, that is Victoria.
in NSW
2 unit is your standard course, e.g. Chemistry (out of the subjects you are doing)
1 unit is half the length, you study for a full year, but less contact hours.
e.g. at my school which has 75 minute periods
1 unit equals roughly 3 75 minute periods per fortnight
2 units equals roughly 6 75 minute periods per fortnight
3 units equals 9; 4 units equals 12 etc.
The harder subjects have more units.
within each subject are modules (approximately units in VIC). Most courses have 4 modules per year. So 8 in total. A module is a topic...


to put into retrospective
12 units is a full load
10 units is a 5 subject load

you are probably doing 10-11 units if in NSW (that's assuming your doing English)
Biology, Chemistry are all 2 units. Maths Studies and Specialist Mathematics are equivalent to what is called Extension 2 Mathematics, which is 4 units. Research project - I am guessing is 1 unit worth.

That sounds slightly confusing.

But good luck to those doing 12+!

it does for you. Basically a standard subject is 2 units of work. 12 units = 6 subjects. Rather than doing a semester, just half the hours for 1 unit. etc.

10 units best units

 

[kjhs]

i'm doing 8 units! but overall, 10 because i did accelerated english but i messed it up really really bad so i'm not sure if doing 10 units is a good idea anymore...

 

[youngsky]

11 units w/ extension maths ftw

 

[rawrliongirl]

12 units, even though I'd really like to drop a subject, my dad reckons I shouldn't :')
Well then, if my major gets too stressful, I'm going to drop a subject. Idec anymore.

I have 12 units I dropped chemistry even though I enjoyed it a lot (I like english so so it doesn't matter HAHA)

i would so drop chem, it's like my worst subject. but i feel bad for my parents having wasted money buying me extra textbooks and getting me a tutor :|

Do what you feels is right Don't waste your time doing something that you don't see a sense of fulfilment in. IMHO maximising the HSC requires you to do the things you enjoy If you do enjoy chem, I'm sure it'll work out It's never too late to start improving

At the moment I have 12 units. However, I think I would rather have 10 or 11 units for the rest of the year, so I'll probably drop SoR II to I. That's if the teachers allow me . If only I didn't have to do English I would drop that crap in a heart beat.

tbh i don't even like chem. i don't even like school. it stresses me out too much and nothing I learn is of any importance except like multimedia and modern history (cos i think history is important and interesting )

 

[necessarahli]

technically 14 but realistically 11...

 

[ingeniarius]

I'm doing 11 units, though two are extensions which means at least one will count (but both probably will considering my chem marks lol) so that's a little concerning but eh with the amount of frees I have I should be okay
