Chemistry is my biggest regret. I am in the pathetic class, even though some ppl there are top, the teacher there just suck balls compared to the other classes. The content is so dull and dry, may be the only fun part of it is that its great at scaling. That's about it.
give me 5

I wished I didn't do Economics :angry:...with all of the annoying data and theory I had to remember, plus the fact that my teacher was too persuasive with me choosing it. If only I did Chemistry...

I kinda regret not keeping physics. I dropped it at the end of year 11. Wish I hadn't done that now :(. Either that or I wish I could've taken Music Extension and Studies of Religion II

yeah I totally regret doing art.
it was hard to decide between that and biology, as they were both on the same line
and all year i regreted not choosing bio instead.
also, I wish i had done two unit maths, or maybe even three. I chose general because I knew I wouldn't have to put any effort in, but because of that I got bored.

my school offered legal studies as an online course, so i chose to do it because i got many free periods. this was a mistake. my philosophy was that i would probably drop if it was shit. i worked hard at it in yr 11, and enjoyed it. but i became disenfranchised with modern history, and when i had a massive assignment due i dropped that instead. then the work packed on in other subjects and the online course took the back seat. now the exam is friday and i know shit all. i wish i did extension english and my school did 3u economics. thats what i would hav done.

I really like to subjects I have... but I regret the subjects I wanted to do but didn't get to. I initially chose Drama and Software Design and Development, but not enough other people chose them, so they didn't run. I'm still a little bitter about that -- I'm pretty sure more people chose Drama and SDD than are doing subjects like Music at the moment. I'm also bitter that my school made me fill up my units with timetabled classes offered in school, rather than letting me do something like Spanish Beginners by correspondence.

Oh, well. They let me drop Biology half a term into year 11. (They have this rule that we can't count accelerated units towards our year 11 total, but I begged until they relented.) I dropped Legal Studies early this year. Now I'm down to an unusually small number of units; and I like all of them (except Advanced).

HISTORY EXTENSION HISTORY EXTENSION HISTORY EXTENSION.

I only picked it up because the school made me, as i couldn't have ext 2 english as my 10th unit. It's just been crap all year: Our teacher didn't teach us for half the year, then when we got her replaced by someone better the case study was the most boring one there: the Bush Legend. I had trouble finding a topic for my external project, and ended up struggling with the topic I did choose, and I got 12/20 for it in the end. so all in all, it'll probably the subject that drags me down and makes my rank awful :(

any one else sympathise?

i regret having 8/10 of my units humanities subjects, but other than that no, no real regrets.

ext history is a really cool subject but i've done like no work throughout the year :/

edit: your major was marked out of 20 (or is that just the essay, not including footnotes and the other crap)? ours was marked out of 40... i thought they all were. pity you have a shitty case study... jfk isn't great but i'm sure its better than that ><

just hang in there, cram as much as u can and try get 22+ 22+ :) it's what i'm gonna try do.. >.>
