    6 units of science?

    for the options topic in physics, i think if you guys bug your teachers enough for a particular topic, they might teach it. I think 3 sciences is in a way easier than doing 3 HSIE subjects, since you don't have to memorise essays and write them in class. Imagine having half yearlies or...
