thank goodness i didnt do ancient/modern history.
physics is easy enough, it does contain a bit of history on the physicists and how they argued over AC or DC transmission for powerlines, etc.
good times.

yeah i agree, don't drop physics
it's interesting, good for any engineering + health/medical courses, it's a high scaling subject, and my teacher's not touch hot either but i still do well.. there's lots of great resources out there that'll help you :)

oh i would if i could.. but its a catholic school so we're required to either do SOR or catholic studies...
Do catholic studies and then use the lessons as studies - that's what i do. You'd probably use the lessons to teach yourself physics, it isn't that hard to teach yourself you know.

defs keep physics... unless you cant handle the workload, in which case keep physics and drop something else.

I changed out of Physics and into Modern History after our first exam week. I'm so glad I did! It wa the best choice I ever made!
hahaha.
I had three sciences before that.
I'm also doing Studies Of Religion but at my school it only runs in year 11. Which is kind of annoying, I would like to do it in year 12 actually. But then I'd only have 10 units, at least this way I have 11, which is a good in between number.

Keep it for a month or two and work hard to understand/grasp the work. If you can't, then drop it.

I did, and have never regretted the decision.
