HI NEW PERSON!!

 

[thugger]

wsg guys graduating in '26 and my subjects for year 11 are maths ext 1, eng adv, them, pe, business and slr (1 unit course for just year 11 where you do city2surf). was considering swapping business/pe maybe even chem for physics if I want to do engineering in uni and also for better scaling n that. was wondering about the workload and if you guys think it'll be fine since a lot of you are doing chem physics n ext 1

 

[sly_lyepat]

No its not just abt that i mean they could be doing 4u math n arabic right?
its just that those who do arabic r arabs born n raised speaking n communicating in arabic so its not hard at all to get grades in them unlike 4u math which no one can be born n raised doing that

they could be doing 90+ in all their subjects but bc arabic if u dont get 85+ ull get negatively scaled so its not abt ‘4u student is gonna do better in their other subjects’ an arabic student can be doing EXCEPTIONALLY well in other subjects but if they rnt doing excellent in arabic, oh well

its cause the arabic test is piss easy

i mean everything is piss easy if u have been doing it all ur life n practice it on a daily basis right?

I don't know it's really about you and your capabilities but yeah I think it's better to swap one of the business/pe subjects of you're worried about scaling

For chem and physics they scale pretty similar, it isn't like adv to std english yk. However if you are leaning toward engineering in the biomedical side then chem is needed (other than that you don't), for almost all engineering stuff physics is assumed knowledge (looking at unsw requirements). It really depends on what/where you think your strengths lie in really.
"Chem is more understanding based, while physics you can kinda get away with memorising the formulas" - that's what a uni student said to me.
if you want to you can check out a few science ready videos and see what you resonate with!

I can't speak for the +ext 1 work load. I'm doing both chem and physics but not ext


also you go to girra? :0

 

[berryry]

yo, anyone down to trade their y11 3u yearlys, chem yearlys, and prelim yearlys with me? hmu (looking for selective papers)

 

[berryry]

i mean physics yearlys* not prelim yearlys lol

also i got a ton to trade back so msg me

they “could” be doing both 4u and Arabic but I’m talking about the average student for those subjects…

4u students on average do better in their other subjects than Arabic students. Thus it scales better…

also excellent is kinda subjective. a decent mark in 4u prob scales better than an excellent mark in investigating science. A decent mark in 4u may also be harder to get than an excellent mark in investigating science…

also what do you even mean not 85+ negatively scales you? What do you even mean by negatively scaling?

nah dw i meant scales u down but wrote negatively scaling

whatever it is what it is ig towards the end of the day not like anything is gonna change

anyways bc of fucking arabic im doing 3 sciences now so yay ig

 

[jane1820]

y u dickriding arabic sm

bc the guy i was meant to dickride didnt pull up so i dickrode arabic since im bored

who made u do 3 sciences

scales u down also kinda makes no sense without context on what u even mean by that lmao

no one wants u lad

yr8 no chill fr

hbu?

yooooo another math+eng ext person here!!!!!!

 

[Shavi Masee]

no one wants u lad

I do

 

[WeiWeiMan]

yooooo another math+eng ext person here!!!!!!

lol I’m technically one but I wanna drop Eng ext 1 before I even start

 

[jane1820]

no one wants u lad

Suck my dick

yr8 no chill fr

since arabic is cancelled my deputy put me down for bio n my original were chem n physics
i tried to get out of bio - bc i hate it - but my only other optional was sac im so bad at eng im not taking the risk for a low scaler

 

[jane1820]

I do

you’re the only one that matters pookie
