Hi, My subject selection is due tomorrow and I'm in need of urgent help. I'm planning on doing Adv Eng, Ext Math, Business Studies, Economics, Modern History and a Science. I take interest in neither one over the other as I am not really a science person (don't like it but don't hate it)...

Is it true I'd have to do REALLY well in my humanities (apparently 90 won't cut it) if I want to get a 97+ atar. Thinking adv eng, ext math, physics, Eco, business, legal. And at Sydney Boys (if I make it in): ext eng (compulsory for y11), ext math, Eco, business, physics or maybe legal

What subject combination did they have? Also, do you think Chemistry and Physics is something hard to learn/understand for someone who doesn't like but doesn't hate science? Would it be any harder to learn than humanities

What is considered a high atar? 95+?

I've never really been a big science person, more of a humanities. Just wondering whether I should be open to going for sciences and trying it because of its better scaling

Will dropping down alot of ranks from top in a partially selective school to 50-100 in Sydney Boys affect me significantly and negatively?

The current subject combination I'm deciding between is: Adv Eng, Ext Math, Chemsitry, Physics, Economics, Business Adv Eng, Ext Math, Chemsitry, Physics, Economics, Modern History/Legal Studies Adv Eng Ext Math, Chemistry/Physics, Economics, Modern History, Legal Studies/Business Studies I'm...

I don't exactly have a specific aim. Preferably 97+

Hey guys, Heard business studies was a very poor scaling subject and I spoke to my tutor about it and he recommend that I abstain from it. https://www.matrix.edu.au/all-about-atar-scaling/ That's what he showed me, and I'm now reconsidering or should I completely disregard the poor scaling...

Hi, Yeah, I'm really considering taking Advanced English now. I've been talking to a few former students at my school who got 90+ ATAR's (one got 99) and one of them was seemingly urging me to do Physics and Chemistry because of the fact that it scales well and despite me saying I am not really...

Hi, I don't really want to use my work experience opportunity at a fast food place haha. I'd prefer to use it in a firm in a place of interest in regards to my planned future career paths.. too see what it's really like. I could always apply for an actual job at Maccas, subway etc.

Hey, At the moment, I'm planning of heading down the Business/Finance career path in the future, maybe even Law. Can anyone suggest or recommend any places for work experience relevant to commerce, business, finance. Alot of people seem to have applied for placements at science...

I'm starting to side with Modern now haha thanks for the help! Also, alot of teachers talked about how we need to have good essay skills for subjects like Business, Economics, Legal etc. Are these 'essay skills' like the essays you are taught to write in English. In other words, if you aren't...

Hey Lumenoria! TBH I don't even know myself if i dread English. I'm kind of sitting on the fence between liking it and hating it. At times, I don't really mind it but at other times I absolutely hate it --> Part of why it is difficult for me deciding. Furthermore, what you said about...

Hey, thanks! That first response was really helpful. Still have a few questions though. In the last 2 sentences, you said "Take Adv Eng/Math" I'm a bit confused because you recommended me doing Ext Maths haha. Additionally, I probably forgot to mention it but I find an interest in both Modern...
