Tbh I don't think background knowledge in tas subjects is COMPLETELY necessary. I know someone who was forced to pick between a few subjects and ended up picking textiles despite having absolutely no experience and she's doing fine from what I've heard. But if you really have no other subjects you can choose, unfortunately you really might just have to choose commerce and drop it in y12

Considering your subject load, i'd def consider doing business / PE. Business isn't a lot about the economy, and I think it can be super interesting. PE is a lot of common sense, and if you're into sport its pretty fun. I wouldn't take up eco if you don't want to though. If you're not motivated for it + its a heavy one, it'll be a much bigger drag to do well.

Are you going to pick up mx2?

But yeah if you despise commerce, dont pick eco lol. I'd 10000% recommend business. it's just syllabus memorization mixed with common sense.

Oh fair. mx2 is E2 maths.

But seriously consider business. Only because of how much you dislike commerce. I did commerce --> Eco. I was lucky that I loved commerce so i loved eco (the similar parts at least). I'd def say business is easier and more interesting tho :)

ok ill put it down as a sixth subject also for e2 math im not sure, i need to see if i pass e1 first bc in my skl out if 14 students in yr 11 (2/14 were accelerated students) only 5 passed n the rest literally failed mind u that all 12 students were the top 20 of their yr 10 for math last yr so… maybe ill see how i go in that class n then see (Also only one student got 90% which was an accelerated kid n the next highest was 63% so u see that gap…)

Oh yeah thats fair enough. i was just curious because usually picking up 4u math means you drop an existing unit. GL tho with what you pick : )

Litrally everyone who i've asked that have graduated have said to do business studies, without me even bringing the topic up. That's how I ended up choosing it, never done commerce as an elective and I'll probably despise it. Take a look at the NSW supplied past papers to see what type of content they will be asking for any subject really, if it doesn't resonate with you just don't pick it.

It's not hard, you just have to pull information from out of your ass and find a way to connect it to the source.

I rlly want to do both ancient/modern but my skills r more sci n math focused 😪 im not sure if ill be getting the marks
If you want to then go for it. If you're willing to learn you're going to end off much better than doing a subject you have the ability to do but hate.

Oh wow. I thought I was exaggerating. Also I'm not the bestest at history but I can try help if you have any questions. I also like it and I'm self-proclaimed decent at the subject ahah
