Choosing HSC subjects (1 Viewer)

[hope_williams]

Hi, i know there are so many posts like this one, but I would really like some advice from all of you about my subject choices for next year. They are due in a week, so I really need to decide! I want to do Arts/Law at Sydney Uni so based on current demand I am aiming for an ATAR of 99.5+!
My choices for year 11 are-

English advanced
English extension 1
Mathematics
Maths extension 1 :mad1:
Latin Continuers
French Continuers
Modern History
Geography

Which gives me 14 units- because at my school if you do 2 extensions you must do 14 units!
Let me know what you think

[hope_williams]

Languages have always been my best subjects!

 

[d3st1nyLiang]

Well you can be idealistic all you want now, but ATAR 99.5+ is going to be lots of hard work in senior high school, seeing as that's really the only prerequisites.

I'm kind of surprised that in wanting to do law, you haven't elected any social sciences..

But Latin, Math Ext 2, Eng Ext 1, is a popular choice. If you work hard in these, it will pay off.

Cool choices esp. languages. Considered taking legal studies seeing as you want to do law...?

Nice subjects, it looks like you have your work cut out for you - good luck

 

[nerdsforever]

nice choices. keep in mind that it will be a lot of hard work.

nothing wrong with your subs. Are you planning on picking up anything for the yr 12 course? MX2, EX2 or the language extensions? If so try and limit your units to 12, 13 at the most otherwise it will be a VERY stressful year for you.

Good luck. Great subject choices.

Exceptional choices.

You should also consider legal studies and economics. Perhaps instead of geography.
You may want to do the extension history course for the HSC.

This is just my experince with subjects.

Yeah, it's all pretty good.

Make sure you delete Facebook and MSN.
Live each day like it's your last. D:
Have no social life.


You might find that 14 units quite.. uhhh.. overwhelming.
I'm sure your school will let you drop what you dislike the most at the start of Year 12.

I was on 13 but now I'm on 10 - couldn't stand it. Haha.

there are no prerequsites for arts.
it depends on your appreciation for it.
maths makes your decisions very flexible.

Nice subject choices . That's gonna require a lot of work!

A nice selection of subject choices, I can see you do not like science?

 

[slyhunter]

since youre aiming for Arts/Law at USyd, i assume you have no interest in science? cos you really dont need it. focus on humanities. perhaps swap geo or one of the languages for legal studies. modern is a must for law aspirers

Why's modern a must?
