heyy im thinking of changing from IPT to Business Services

Im currently doing 12 units in the prem yr
Current subjects: business studies, retail operations, eng std, mathematics, accounting and IPT

so what do you think is more useful in the future, easier and a better subject to score good marks and decent UAI

thanks

What are your interests? As someone who's done IPT, I have to say it's quite an interesting course.

Also, big factor for you is that both Accounting and BusServ are Category Bs, so at most only one of them will count for the UAI.

What you will do in IPT is mostly learn about how systems work in specific environments, as well as the basics of global communications. You will learn some coding languages such as SQL which will be necessary for the HSC exam.
But mostly you will be analysing databases or systems and saying how they work, as well as comparing them to similar systems.
Hope this Helps
p.s if you're going to do this as an accelerated course for yr 9/10, I'd advise against it unless you want to do a distinction course in yr 11

i recon IPT is the continuation of IST (yr9-10). i find it pretty interesting so far and i hope it stays that way or becomes more interesting.
