The analytical skills I learnt in english I won't use in UNI. I am doing business/computing and I will use the skills I learnt this year in business, ipt and economics. Basically my other 2 subjects this year were a waste of time.

That 2 unit stuff you will never use again. General is much more relevant.
I totally agree. General Maths has much more to do with life than 2 unit does. Take it from someone who has done both.

Also, when will Shakespeare, John Donne and Journeys help me in Uni...please.

it has been my experience that much of the maths syllabus is somewhat irrelevant to everyday living.when i slam on my breaks in my car to avoid a head on,,,,,imm not going to say,,''thank god i kno parabolas and hyperbolas.''
Actually, it would be useful if you did 4unit (mechanics) or yr 11 physics.

Anyway, You're an idiot, this is spam. I'll pray for that head on every day now.

i wouldnt say 'never,' really depends on what career you choose, but maths won't just be useful for teachers.

If you work for the ABS you will be doing maths such as exponential growth and decay for hours on end
