Number of units? (2 Viewers)

[Riviet]

How many units are you doing? (vote now in poll!)
Why did you choose this many?

 

[pLuvia]

13 units

10 of my units are 2 unit subjects
The other 3 are my extensions

 

[Bookie]

Yeah, i realised that a few hours after posting up the poll, i guess they can tell us in this thread. Ah well...
P.S I'd like to see if anyone's doing 15 or more units. How hectic it would be lol.

 

[Bookie]

Pretty farkin hectic. So hectic i dont reckon any of them will be bothered to spend any of their time on Bos.

Well, I was going to do 11 for my HSC, but I'm starting Pathways (I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and so will only be doing 5 Units this year.

HSC '06
2U Visual Arts
2U Studies of Religion II
1U NAS Art Extension.

HSC '07
2U Advanced English
2U Design and Technology
2U Society and Culture
1U Photography

= 12 Units all up. 10 of which are UAI units.

Still doing 12 like in year 11. More than certain that will drop to 10, sometime in the near future

13 at the moment, plus compulsory RE is 14...but three of those 14 are extension so my careers advisor doesn't want me to drop yet. Will probably drop Art in the near future, don't particularly want an Art major on top of the Eng Ext 2 work.

Been meaning to bring this up...what would the ideal number be? As in, would you rather do 13 and have a safety net (ie for me, Advanced Eng wouldn't count that's my worst), or do 10/11 and have the extra time?

 

[etc. etc. etc.]

Sorry to burst your bubble.... but English will count.

The UAI is calculated by taking 2units of English, then your best 8 units.

Yeah, but they'll take the best 2 units of English, right? So if I stuff up Advanced (which for some reason is my shittiest course) then Ext 1+2 will count. Here's hoping anyway.

Hey, good luck etc. etc. etc. sorry to hear you have to do pathways, but if it's your pathway , then go for it.

Good luck~

Hmm, I've never thought of that. I always just assumed that they took the fundamental English course you studied (ie. Standard or Advanced). Best to pop over to the UAI Technical Arcana forum to check up

Thanks very very much Kadlil. It's going to be weird, not being able to leave with the year group I've been with all along.... but I guess it's the only way I'm going to be able to do well in my current situation.

I also find it rather funny that I'm starting 'Pathways' yet am dropping English until '07 and will never have to do the 'Journey'. Haha.

Good luck to you also!

Lol. That is a weird situation to be in. Unfortunately you won't be able to get all the help that we are getting in journey, since you'll be the first ones doing the new area of study. But best of luck for the next couple of years =)

Yup - thats exactly what would happen. They take your best 2 units of English regardless if its ESL, Standard, Advanced, Extension 1, Extension 2. Presumably this would even extend to Comparative Literature but on that I'd have no idea. But to reiterate, your 3u & 4u english marks can fill the criteria of the best 2 units of english in your UAI.

Ergh I didn't think about that. But still, the entire '07 class would be in the same position - so it's no biggy.

 

[pLuvia]

But wouldn't you want to do something that you can get help with on BoS and your teachers? But maybe doing a new focus will make your marks better as it did when the focus Journey was introduced in 2004

 

[klaw]

13... can't choose between business and phys

 

[Riviet]

Since it's a totally new area of study, it's a good opportunity to work independently and rely only on yourself.

 

[xxshatteredxx]

Im doin 11 units for my HSC i hope...

 

[Riviet]

Bump! Keep those votes coming in! Looks like the majority of us are doing 11/12 units. Good choice! Keep up the work! That is if you are working...
