I think it's just the subjects that he likes. He's not necessarily doing them. :D

Same here. Mathematics is easily the most relaxing subject for me.

I wish I could do Extension 3 or Extension 4 Mathematics if they existed. Then, I wouldn't have to worry about the number of units I carry!
Extension 3 & 4 would be beyond 1st year uni level... not that i wouldn't do it if it were available.

To tell you the truth, I am so unsure about what to study post high school that they were all the subjects I have an interest in and considered doing.

Oh, I wouldn't pick up all those subjects. The subject timetable lines worked perfectly for the subjects I initially said I'd pick but then I considered changing them.

If anything, I would pick up physics for 14 units but that's it. Sorry about the misunderstanding.

Nah. It will be interesting. I can study Mathematics for a greatly prolonged period of time without getting tired. Contents in Mathematics are very easy to grasp for me whereas I struggle to understand the simplest concept in Chemistry sometimes.

It would be a fun amount. Math is pretty simple, but english makes me sadistic and homicidal.

Haha. That list goes on forever.

Ext 1 and 2 English - in year 10 I was told that Standard English was the way to go in Year 12 (my school won't allow Standard in Year 11). I then proceeded to ace the rest of my exams and the SC in English, as well as every assessment in Year 11. It's still my best subject and I get reminded constantly by my new teacher that 'Ext 1 English would've been such a good choice'. Argh.

Also:
Modern History
Visual Arts (could've done Photography)
PDHPE
Legal Studies
Biology

That would put me at 24 units. Haha.

I'd pick up IT...or Legal Studies...or German (or whatever the subjects were called)

IT because I love messing around on the computer and would like to learn more about it properly, and for grades

Legal because it sounds really interesting and a few of my friends do it and enjoy it a lot. It would be a bit of a waste though since I don't want to work in that area at all, but hey, I used to do music and have no skills there...

and German because I'm pretty good at German and wish I'd taken it past year 10 level, and it's really fun and language students at my school get to go on so many cool excursions...

DON'T pick IT, i was the same as you!

But it scales so badly, plus its not all hands on. Its mostly whats called assignments that you complete on the computer.

I should of done Legal. I would of been good at it.

Okay...but in Queensland we don't have scaling as such, so it doesn't matter...but maybe IT wouldn't be good. What is that other subject you have, the SDD one? What's that? Maybe that would be more fun?

yeah, that. I don't know the specifics of what each of the NSW computer-ish subjects are. What's the difference between them all?
