How many units? (1 Viewer)

[superle]

Im trying 13 units & I don't like the idea of 10units.
Maybe cause our principal has been threatening to shoot us down if we do 10units haha. but to do 10 units you have to be really into your subjects, and for people like me who aren't that interested in any can't work with that.

Backups rule

10-12 depending on how much work there is xD.

 

[Aerath]

10 11 or 12. Pick a number.

 

[bored of sc]

10 11 or 12. Pick a number.

Average them. 11.

Average them. 11.

How does 11 units work again in the HSC?

 

[jessiminica]

Probably 12, so that I can drop something if I need to.

How does 11 units work again in the HSC?

They split your units in half and then add them I think (no idea how that is supposed to work).

If you're doing 11 units and a 2unit subject is the weakest, they split that 2unit subject into 1 unit (ie. half your aggregate score).

If the 1unit subject is the weakest, well it's obvious.

...

Then by your same logic 12 units is risky as you may get a lower mark in a subject than if you were to do 10 units ?

fine you win tommykins >:|

Haha, it's just my opinion. People can do 12 units if they like, I guess I'm lucky enough to enjoy my subjects to be able to do 10.

i guess you're doing pretty well then. but the one thing i learnt from year 12 is that NOTHING EVER GOES TO PLAN. e.g. i planned to have DT has my weakest subject because it scales down like crazy. but you know, my ext 1 maths is pretty shocking right now ):

I'd rather do 10 units, less workload. :uhhuh:

Each unit is out of 50, I think. So if you get 90 in Chemistry, each unit is 45. (which is pretty much what you've said)
